Lol I've transplanted 3 times it's just a myth
It stunts growth in an auto unless it is a super auto where you have more time.

The reason they stunt growth is because you have 80 days start to finish (or so). If it takes 3 days to recover from the transplant you have lost 3 days of growth.

Autos generally do better if you use a single pot start to finish (3 to 4 gallon). And 50 50 medium and perlite is nice.

This is true,

The light may work but a QB135 would really do better for the same wattage for around 200 bucks (put together or put it together and save 25.00)

135w still isn't all that much, but that light will put out some nuggs for you. I run 2 in a 4x4 and fill it up completely with quality. I've also been growing for 10 years and know what to do and when, either way, you're growing your own, not paying someone to do it for you, you're learning, and that's all that really matters at the end of the day. Ive never grown an auto flower, but I know if your light is too close it will keep it short and bushy. Especially going from the 25w to 135w might be mind of intense for the little one right now, just my opinion, every plant responds differently. Just take it day by day and have fun. Alot of the egos that run around on this sight think they won world records of weed and know everything there is, maybe take advice with a grain of salt, but at the end of the day try things out, experiment, this is a learning process and doesn't come overnight fam.
Very well said

Yeah listen to the guy whose only grown 4 autos. Ive grown over 30 by now. Also you can transplant you just have to know how. There are techniques you can do to avoid transplant stress. Here ill give you one, plant an auto in 4x4 rockwool and put it in its final pot as soon as you see roots sticking out. Ive done it that way over 8 times and NO STRESS. Plants didnt even skip a beat. Youre clearly inexperienced in autos no offense. Heres an auto I grew that gave me 350 ish grams dry...

I've learned from this grow so far these fucking autos love deep soil and long roots so for my next one I'll definitely start it in the 5 gallon as you said I am new to autos I've grown photos before but transplanting isn't gonna Hermie the feminized seed from what I've read
Won't Hermie but could cut yield in half I would call that failing but everyone has a different perspective

Nice im sure you will get that im not happy unless I get 3x that per square foot
It's kills me have you lose like 75% weight in drying . Hey how do I dry slower my apartment is so warm and dry that when it's time to harvest it will dry out too fast l. I have a humidifier let me know how you dry and cure so I have a idea

Yeah it will always lose 70-80%. if your in a dry climate make sure you trim after you dry also you could put the buds in open paper bags after a few days hanging. How long is your drying usually taking?
