Need some Opinions on my Autos

Ok so I got a random pack of auto flowers from attitude seeds and started 3 about 2 weeks ago no issues so far except on plant had some abnormal leafs like 6 instead of 7 missing the center leaf. No big deal. The weird thing to me is at 2 weeks old their already showing sex all females. Amen. and that they are so short the tallest maybe 4" is this normal. I have them on a 24/0 under a 150hps with a 4" fan blowing on them constantly to keep the temp down. I plan on feeding beginning this week with liquid fox farm big bloom. Also everyone has told me that the pots they are in are to small that I should be in at least a 1 gal. Need suggestions on what to do to increase output.

yeah it is norml for autos to show there sex at two weeks, if i where you i would put them in the biggest pot you can (the bigger the root, the bigger the fruit)als you could cut the light down to 20/4 this is suppose to be the best light for autos

hope this helps

I´ve grown autos outdoors for three seasons and most of them grow to about 50cm when they are finished. I keep them in about 20l per plant and that gives them space to develop. My strains have been Dieselryder, LR2, AutoAK47, Bluestreak, Auto Lemon Kush and Mossy´s Jem. Mossy´s one pheno was heavy as hell, yielding +50gr.

Good luck with the plants, give them room and keep the ferts low and all should be well (they stretch quite a lot after preflowering).

2gal pots seem to work great for autos 3gals even better.As for light cut that baby down to 20/4 for best results, or could even do with 18/6.
 
Ok thanks I dont think I have room to keep them in much larger than a 2 gallon pot and I would have to raise the light quite high up so they can all at least get some exposure no intense exposure like they are getting now. Any suggestions my closet is extremely small 16" deep and maybe 3' wide. I'll post some pictures of the full closet when I get home from work. Don't want to increase pot size and lose light strength. I don't have the money for a bigger light right now either.
