Autos are just Cannabis Ruderalis genetics and they can be transplanted, especially when they're young. You certainly don't want to transplant right before they start flowering but when done early and gently they shouldn't get that stressed. Also starting seeds in bigger pots stunts growth too so I'd risk one transplant to give the seedlings a better start...but that's just me. There are a 1000 ways to skin a cat...

Now i am no expert by any means .... however through out all the reading i have done or goggling..... time and time again i have read DONT transplant autos. Now iam not saying you cant. But most say stick the seed right in to its final pot or put it in a party cup with the bottom cut off and transplant the cup in to the final pot after a week or two in to veg. The reason behind this is the autos have a very aggressive tap root that tunnels down as hard and as fast as it can. I did and at week 5 of my autos there at 3.5 feet tall and if they could i am betting they would grow higher. I read lots of articals that say autos are very finicky to begin with and because of the taproot going down that creating a root ball inside a smaller pot first will stunt growth........... but like i said.... iam no expert

I'm talking about transplanting way before solo cup size. Search for RapidRooters and you'll see what I mean.

This isn't a grow journal I can't get the plant in a good growth faze. I get all my info on the AFN network and 90 percent if the people there don't use nutrient rich soil IE fox farm, roots organic and so on. I am using sunshine mix#4 Liquid Karma, GH Flora Grow, Protec Silicon, and some calmag. The first 4 days after seed is germinated I spray the soil with ph water and LK. After that I slowly introduce the plant to nutrients only doing 1/4 strength of the recommended dose that the bottle says. I rotate silicon and calmag. I grew them under cfl lights and decided to try led for further grows the formula is the exact same. The led is not penetrating enough. The leaves under the bug fan leaves are drooping due to lack of light. I don't know what else to say. I am called CLW and the customer service lady said they would call which the did not. I am going to upgrade to the solar storm.

I talked with CLW and I am going to switch to the solar storm 440. I will start a actual complete grow journal. I will be growing Auto Skunk#1 and Auto Northern lights

OK, I'll move this one later then, since it's not a journal.

I'm glad they're taking care of you though...
