Tiny auto flowering

Hello. I would like an opinion. It's my first grow. This is a 40-day autoflower. It started to bloom a week ago. It is only 10 inches tall. Will it still grow? How much should I expect in yield? Is there anything I can do to improve?

200w full spectrum cob led + 60w fluorescent 6400k
1mx1m tent
50 peat 50 perlite
biobizz basic pack (grow, bloom, alg)
pH, temp, hum OK

Thank you!

I thought peat was not a good media for pot, the pH is wrong, I could be wrong though. How old is the plant?

Prob through growing...just trying to make flowers now but it looks very strained and isn't gonna provide much in yield.
Anything can be improved...a better medium mix and lighting would improve things significantly.

whats the size of the pot, also whats your light cycle? guess you should water more frequently with the growing medium you choose

pH 6-7. Temp 20-28 °C. hum 50-70%. watering until start to runoff. feed folowing biobizz schedule every time i water.
See, this is why people shouldn't just say "pH is good". Your pH is too high for growing in peat, I would go for closer to 6.0. You are also probably over feeding them. Even with peat based soils I only feed once a week (I water 1 to 2 times between each feeding) and I only feed half the recommended dosage.

thx man. i will try to water/feed more often. I read lot of times about overwattering and autos dont like much food.
Looking hungry doesn't always equate to needing to feed more. If you have been over feeding, then they could be experiencing nutrient lockout, and feeding more will actually make the problem worse.

BTW, you really need to fill the pot up to the top next time. You are basically growing that plant in 1.5 gallons of soil and that is such a small amount for a cannabis plant. When I grew in peat I never went smaller than 5 gallon for the final pot.

I almost filled, but it be compacted after water. I'm a newbie, man!
