This autoflower is 2 weeks old. Should I just start over?

I been using 4 26w cfls on her. I have them going 18/6. I am have nutes but I was told to wait till about week 6 for nutes. Thats because the ocean forest soil will have enough food.
I grow autos and that's normal. You have to remember it's an auto not a normal plant and its healthy keep it up.

I would rip it out and reuse the soil for another Auto personally.

At 2 weeks I expect to see at least a 3inch plant from a auto, they do tend to start really slow and pick it up.

As for the people arguing, I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about Autos. I grow both Photos & Autos and so far I have yielded near 200grams off a Auto moby dick in ideal conditions in a 5 gal smart pot with Coco coir.
Believe what you want but Autos CAN be as potent and yield just as much as a Photo. I will always prefer a Photo smoke but I love me some Autos when I'm dry and refuse to smoke "Street" weed. Can't beat 3-6Ozs in 2 months with minimal interaction off one plant.

I'm growing an auto indoor under a 300W CFL On 18/6 and its 2 weeks old in a mix of compost and perlite, it looks very small in comparison to my other one, any ideas as to why it would be so small?

Looks nice, autos spend most of their early life getting a good root foundation, plant them in a nice big pot and leave them in it. They do not like re-potting.

Second big thing is watering, if you gave it a good watering when you planted it you may not need to water again for over three weeks. A good way to check is dip your finger into the soil around the edge of the pot down to about an inch, if the soil feels moist it does not need water! Less water the better, the dryer the soil the faster the roots will grow. more roots = bigger plant = bigger yield.

Don't feed the plant any nutrients until flowering, they need very little until this time and should have enough even in bad soil.

My experience with auto's is leave it the f*ck alone until it gets to a decent size! Just leave it in that pot and give it light for about a month, you should have a nice little plant going.

If the other plant is not of the same genetics there is no point in comparing them, different auto strains can grow at extremely different rates.

Fact that its small might be a good thing if its getting a good root ball going. If there's anything you might want to do its put it closer to the light but not closer than 4 inchs.

Happy Growing!!

Yeah, its small for 2 weeks since germination. If you don't have other seeds you are not losing anything to keep it.
