first time growing an auto flower, currently on day 24. Does it look ok or should it be bigger by this point. Image by Cartermark posted Jul 21, 2019 at 12:27 PM Image by Cartermark posted Jul 21, 2019 at 12:25 PM
Looks a little stunted to me, possibly overwatering that soil doesn't look like it drains very well, and when there small they dont require very much water at all. You want the roots expanding searching the water out. Other than that it looks healthy now.
I'm afraid it's going to be a small plant. That's how all of my autos have grown except for a couple that did really well. That's what has put me off autos, you have to have things dialed in or they turn out small. Some people grow very nice autos, my thumb isn't green enough so I need more time than autos allow. I don't see anything wrong with your soil other than it could use some perlite. Maybe that's why mine grow small, I can't judge soil.
Yeah, its on the smaller side for sure.... I also agree with Cactus Ed in saying the soil could benefit from some perlite.
