Hi there, can anyone help?, I will be very grateful, i have 3 caramel cream auto femanised plants in flowering day 45, 2plants are doing well heavily in flowering with buds and smelling dank but one plant just is not as advance and only has pistills but no smell and no buds on it and sagnificantly smaller, the plant looks very behind compared to my other 2 caramel cream, is there an explanation for this??, anything I can do to help the plant along to flower properly like the others?? plant life cycle is 9 weeks and that's only like 2 weeks away from finishing the plant cycle, a bit concerned, but what confuses me is the plant looks healthy nice green leafs no issues other then it's a really slow plant

Likely just a bad seed and really not much you can do at this point as far as I know. Always a bit of a crap shoot when growing from seeds and with autos you can't take cuttings for the next generation either.
Maybe it's not as 'auto' as the others and once they are done switch to 12/12 lighting to see if it finally starts putting on bud weight.

Thanks for the response brother, it's my first grow so decided to stick with auto to get a bit of expirience under my belt, i was thinking to possibly do that, however my other plants are stacking loads, I just don't want to hold back on there bud stacking just because of this plant.

I wouldn't either but once they're ready to crop I'd switch to 12/12 then. I still haven't finished cropping my ScroG plant but switched to 18/6 to get it on the road to revegging. Going to leave a small bud on each little branch and reScroG the girl and see what happens. I have a bunch of plants I want to move down there to repot and veg for a while.

I'm having the same exact issue. I've got plenty of experience growing from clones, but I'm trying something new with autos. After some research here about autos I went with Mephisto because the consensus was that they were the best genetics if you want to grow autos. I planned to germinate 10 seeds as I was in need of six plants for my legal, medical grow in Maine. All 10 popped, but one never broke soil. I had 9 left to choose my six from, and they were six really hard choices because they all looked like shit. A week after breaking the surface they were maybe an inch tall. Two weeks in maybe another half inch. By week three, at the end of which I was expecting to see the first signs of flower, they were 2-3 inches tall with the circumference of a grapefruit. I'm thinking, oh great, I'll get an ounce out of this grow if I'm lucky.
Fast forward to today, day 60ish, though I'm not sure when to start counting. I'm guessing from the day the break soil. Anyway, the overall health and size have improved (I'll attach a picture, keeping in mind all that growth happened in about two weeks) but I'm left with different questions. If you look at the picture you can kinda see how the middle two plants, and the one in the back left, have a similar look. Lighter fatter leaves, a little squatter, but the bud production is petty nice. But the two left-side plants and the one in the front right are taller, thinner and the bud production is more sparse. You'd almost think the shorter fatter ones were indicas and the tall skinny ones were Sativa. However, all 10 seeds I planted were, according to Mephisto, the same strain.
