my questions is this auto's grow alot quicker than photo's meaning they will start and finish in 9-10 weeks "some quicker" so i have two auto fem bubblegum seedlings i just want to know if these seedlings will grow quicker than photo's meaning will they grow there 2nd set of leaves quicker will they need to be transplanted quicker? or at the growth faze do all plants regardless of genetics grow at the same pace? any input would be great.

if u gonna do auto do a bita reading first they like on a time schedual they will veg and start to flower no matter the light settings
so u want to get they to grow super fast and healthy or they will yield fuck all

1 ...do not transplant put straight into final pot bigger the better at least 10 litres
2 ...go quarter nuts till they about a foot tall
3 ...at first water sparingly around seedling like 1 cup a day do not over water u want enough so it don't die but not too much it wont try root hard do not worry if u see little upward growth they will be rooting hard autos root hard at first then stop rooting and go upward so the bigger u can get the root system bigger the auto u will get
4 ... feed veg nuts for first 2 weeks weak strength once u see preflower start on your flower nuts id go half strength as auto don't like lota nuts
5 ... 24 hour lights on till there packed on a bit bud then goto 18/6 so u get ur carbs ect at dark
6 ... do not top or defoliate plant as any stess or any dmg will just slow it down and u on a time limit there is not vegging a bit longer it like a bomb set on a timer do not dmg her
7 ... lsting [Low stress training] is fine to open up more light ect to to spread her out I like to tie the top over so I get more but sites I stop all training when plants in flower and stems start to harden

do as I say and u get a monster like this nl auto nl.jpg

thanks for the reply and i did a shit ton of reading but as i go through the various stages i will always need to ask experienced growers questions it's more curiosity and a thirst for knowledge than panic "well it is at this point anyway lol" i am doing a stealth grow i lack height in there but as a family man it needs to be out of the way and as covert as possible i am hoping for over an ounce dry off these two and it is a 1st grow so i am not a dreamer and realise my limitations. with pots and light over hang i am looking at around 16" of actual plant lst is a must and i am gonna have too prune the bottom part of the plant as currently will be able to manage a 125w cfl and 1 30w cfl that brings my temp to around 79f so the bottom of the plant will not get much penetration from the light, now that is the maximum amount of light i can get in there. i can go higher but will be hitting temps of like 83f which is abit close to 85f where they will have real stunted growth,but these checks have been made with no plant in there so the soil might bring down the ambient temp and i may be able to have the 2 30w and the 125w but as you can see 185w is enough but not mind blowingly powerful. its all just to get some nice smoke now and then.

oh and they are 4 day old they are like 5 cm with 1 set of true leaves but are in jiffy pellets in a humidity dome with a 30w cfl like 3 or 4 cm away from them they are doing really well, trying to let the pellets dry quite alot before i water because im trying to promote good root growth. I posted a different thread because i was reading the dome was a bad idea for seedlings but after speaking to a few guys on here im happy sticking with the plan my humidity in there is like top 50's or low 60's and the lid vent is open the lid is removed alot so the whole damping off thing is hopefully avoidable. now i do like your idea of planting seedlings into final pots from seed but i have biobizz all mix so was worried this would be abit "hot " for the seedlings so i decided to get abit more established in jiffys. but i do have a quick question when would you transfer the auto to final pot ? should i a) wait for the roots to be seen at the sides of the jiffy or b) should i just transfer into final pots and all mix when i see the 2nd set of true leaves and remove from the dome or will that be too much at once?
