25 days - is this normal?

[Ice Man]

Newb here. This chick is 25 days old. She is about 10 inches tall. Is this normal growth for its size? Is she flowering already or just normal growth?

Strain is Trainwreck auto and the potting mix is cocoloco. I’m using 5ml each of part A and B of CocoTek nutririents per gallon, which is what the recommended amount is from General Hydroponics for seedlings. She hasn’t looked like she needed any more so I’ve stuck with those amounts.

19/5 light schedule. I had her in a solo cup for the first 3 weeks and transplanted 4 days ago into a 5 gal fabric pot.

I had just just the veg light on up until a few days ago until I was reading that people said they’ve had both on the whole time and saw great results. The light is a single cob with both veg and bloom adjustable dials 1200w.

That does not look normal to me. That plant is definitely in flower. Looks like you only have one main bud site and some little ones below.

Expect a small yield. You stressed her from keeping her in a solo cup.for 3 weeks. If i still had photos id show you 2 of mine that flowered after 22 days. It could be a pheno or genetics but my guess is stress induced.

Great... I guess I’ll just let her go and see what she gives. I thought it was a little early to be looking like she is. She’s still so tiny.

First grow problems...

I just potted another in its final pot today. We’ll see how that one performs.

hopefully better. And i hope im wrong and you get an ok yield. But that plant is flowering. It waa my first grow it happened to me on. Youll get better trust me. I recommend prolly not transplanting @bhaskara_phoenix waa using a solo cup method that was working really good. Maybe he can give you some details on his solo cup method.

What soil or medium are you using

 

[Ice Man]

Cocoloco with about 25% additional perlite.

Maybe some lst for more light on those smaller sites is in order to make up for my error?

 

[Boognelson87]

Idk. Thst is your call. I try to lst all my plants. I dont think shes gonna get to big to worry about lst but i may be wrong. Trust your gut. What ph are you feeding

Hey .

Boog is right the plant is flowering unfortunately the thing with autos is when the tap root hits bottom it will start flowering so it was in the solo too long, the solos are risky business for autos because of that you'll hear people say not to transplant autos period but same reason, if you get them transplanted quicker some people have success and I've had a couple do ok, I like to cut out the sides of the solo like vertical rectangles leaving just a rim of plastic in between same with the bottom then I put that inside another solo cup and when transplanting it just slides out easy without causing any stress which will also stunt an auto. With cutting the solo like that you can just put the cup right in the new pot cup and all.

Don't worry I have stunted a few myself I think we all have just a learning process!

ph is around 6.5. That’s my guess by using the color chart. I don’t have a ph pen, just the drops.
