My guess is that you started that off in a smaller pot and stunted it before you transplanted, if you did start it straight into that pot then it must be too small what size pot is that in? The thing with autos is the roots grow so much faster than photoperiod plants so you should start them in the pot you are going to finish them in, bigger the pot bigger the plant. Also that talk about topping an auto is foolish and will make them stay smaller and yield less as they grow so quick you are wasting valuable days healing the plant when it could be getting bigger. Its all good when you have a choice when to flower but with autos you dont have a choice. Trust me start them in the biggest pot you can and they can get upto 2-3 feet and yield a few oz a plant, depending on strain of course. I grew autos once in DWC and when my plants were no bigger than 5 inches, the roots shooting out the bottom were 1 ft long its all about root space in there 1st few weeks which lets them get big. Sorry just don't understand how people are getting autos that small its crazy, of all the autos iv seen growing not one has got less than 2oz per plant and were all 2 ft tall. I do normal photoperiod now tho, much rather 4-5 ft tall 6-8 oz plants anyday. Nice1
