This is the smallest auto I've seen. It was in a breeders pack. This is the second out of the three seeds I've planted. The first one I have already harvested and it was about 2 to 2-1/2 ft at a month old when it started to flower. This one however is less that an inch and a half at a month old and it's starting to flower! It's been on a 18/6 light schedule since it popped.This is Auto Seeds Purple Cheese Auto.

overwatering can cause that ..... you growing in soil ?

Ya I'm growing in soil. Just a couple ounces of water once a week. I actually let the soil shrink somewhat from the pint size container before I water so the root will go searching water. I do the paper towel method for germination. Had a good size tap when I put it in the soil. The next day when it popped through the surface of the soil I saw that the seed shell were barely hanging on the starter leaves so I took a pair of tweezers and pulled them off. I wish I had taken pictures at the time. When I pulled the shells off I noticed that the leaves were like almost bleached white on the sides facing the shell. Under closer examination I saw what looked like miniature clear larvae that resembled mosquito larvae, only they were totally see through clear color and about 1/10 mm in length. There would have been no way that they could be seen with a naked eye. Anyways that's where the trouble started, then no terminal shoot. It's taken a month just for the secondary branching to start shooting, which is actually what's shooting out pistils. This was in a sealed breeders pack from Herbies. Whatever the organism was, it must have been dormant inside the seed until water activated it.
 
Damn. That suck balls brah. My pineapple autos are usually tall (3ft) skinny and lanky and looks ugly but the buds are alway decent.

Most likely grower error im sorry to say, grown a lot of autos and those dinky ones are from not enough love lol
Even the ones that are genetically puny never come out under 4inches unless you did something wrong, at least in my experience. These are in a half filled 5 gallon with recycled soil ive justvleft outside and they still want to grow.

The first seed out of the breeders pack went off without a hitch. 2 ft when it started to flower and ended up about 3-1/2'. Like I said already, there were a lot of wormlike organisms between the seed hull and the starter leaves on this little on. Like I've already said it didn't have a terminal shoot. This same thing happened on one of four of my thc bombs that I planted at same time. I didn't notice any organisms on that one but it was born without a terminal shoot as well. It also had bleached looking starter leaves. To give u an idea my biggest bomb I'm chopping tonight is well over 8 ft where the one that started with bleached looking starter leaves and no terminal shoot only 2-1-2 ft when I chopped last week and the other two were 6 & 6-1/2 ft.
I know the cause, wasn't asking for advice. Just thought i would share. And trust me it is not for lack of love. I'm pretty anal about my plants and look over each one daily with a magnifying glass!
 
Oh okay sorry missed that part. Sucks bro ive had it happen a few times recently.
