Is my auto stunted?

If a plant is an auto flowering MJ type they can live their entire live cycle at 24/0 .... no need for 12/12 like a photo period MJ plant

Cerul, not with Auto's. With Photo periods, you witch to 12/12 when you want them to flower. Auto's will flower regardless of how much light they are getting pretty much. They'll flower under 24 hours of light.

I always run my Autos 20/4 from seed to harvest, to reiterate what others said you don't need to change to 12/12 and in fact it will be detrimental to the final product.

20/4 is recommended . Some will argue for 24/0 (I like to think they still like to rest as well - interesting things happen to cannabis at night, be it photos or autos) and 18/6 can be run if energy saving is an issue.

I'd recommend more light next time. One 125w is enough to start a seedling but you'll want to heavily increase that during veg and bloom.

Good luck and hopefully she gives you some goodies :smoking:

come look at mine at 30 days 24/0 all the way.

I was under the presumption that when the plants start pre-flowering/flowering the light schedule is supposed to change to 12/12.

Nope, X10 what has already been said. I've grown a few Jacks, and every one of them grew slow for me. Farmer is right, more light will increase your harvest, and it's never too late to add them!
More light, and be patient. If yours grows like mine did, you'll be banging your head against the wall wondering why things have stalled. It's well worth the wait Not the greatest taste, but an amazing smoke.

I prefer 18/6 I still believe they benefit from sleep......

That's on my agenda for the next grow
