Lookin great so far! A tiny bit of stem stretch but nothing you can’t bury under a layer of soil once she’s a bit bigger!

And I thought they were stunted!!! Thanks!!!

It may stay small the first few weeks. It may not. Autos have a mind of their own. But at about 5 weeks or so, it’s gonna grow. Good luck and happy growing!!!

Ok, thanks. I think I’m just being super over protective. Lol.

Lanee,
I was the same place you are about 5 weeks ago. I jave my first autos going now. Their growth is the classic exponential curve… painfully slow early on which seems forever… but at about 2.5 to 3 weeks they explode in growth.

Good luck

Looks good a bit of stretch no much though keep ur humidity up in ur tent have ur fan lightly blowing on ur plant so it gets a healthy thick stem dont feed any nutrients to it yet its to early for it ,what are u using for growing medium is it Coco coir or soil .if ur using fox farm soils specially ocean Forest its a bit hot and u wont need to feed ur plant anything for a few months due to the fertilizer in the ocean Forest.thos my auto flower its about two to three weeks old



Im growing in coco coir with organic compost And worm castings and bat gauno with volcanic rock dust see how thick the stem is

Yes!! It’s beautiful. This is an updated photo, day 11. I am growing in Coast of Maine organic living soil. No nutes yet, waiting till about week 4 or 5 depending on the signs from the lady. I plan to use only compost teas to feed the soil because I want a completely organic grow. Not ph’ing my water as I’ve seen videos that organic soil corrects its ph on its own. But my tap water is around 7.1ph and I do dechlorinate it.Temp between 23-26 degrees C and humidity between 55-60%. Fan blowing on her making her strong. Light is at about 14 inches, lowered from 24 yesterday since a little stretch was detected by you Supreme growers. What about the coloring? Does it look light to yall?? Ion know!!! :sob::sob::sob::sob::sob::sob:

Plant looks good and you will see as others have said autos kinda do what they want in their time. Hard to tell from the pics if the soil is wet or just darker but make sure not to overwater. Welcome to the forum!

I had just watered them before I took the pic because they were super dry and light. Hadn’t been watered in about 4 days.
