New grower needing advice, greetings from ireland

[StevOrganic]

I have an autoflower black jack herer growing at the moment and it is growing at a very slow rate. I have it in 15l airpot with biobizz light mix soil. I put in the soil 15th May and it broke ground the 17th.

The seed as a helmet for the first couple days which fell off.

The environment has been less than ideal I suppose it’s been kept mostly on the windowsill of a south facing window inside where temps were kept slightly over 20 degrees and then on good days was put out in the greenhouse where it reached at much as 30 degrees and as low as 15 degrees, no artificial light used for the grow be interested to see what you guys think of it’s progress. Also it was planted directly into 15l airpot all help appreciated

In the photo this is 17 days after breaking the soil

Hi and welcome to AFN . She's a little bit behind but overall doesn't look too bad for her age.

Thanks for getting back so quickly

I have been doing some reading and from what I gather in a less than ideal environment like mine which is on the colder side quite far north in the northern hemisphere it would not be unusual for an autoflower to take 10-12 weeks seed to harvest due to the lack of sunshine and lower temps is this accurate info?

Lots of things will affect your grow times but it's not uncommon for an auto to run 10-12 weeks depending on strain. Usually a more sativa dominant strain will run longer than an indica heavy strain IMO. I usually add a couple of weeks to the breeders estimate in my climate

She is starting to come on now the weather hasn’t been the best very cloudy and overcast temperatures not that high either would you say that the plant would be ok to be moved permanently to the greenhouse after a month? It has been in and out of the greenhouse and has experienced some lower temperatures already down as far as 10-15 Celsius so I would assume she will be ok once temps don’t drop below 10 Celsius

She should be fine to go outside at those temperatures bud.

She seems to be starting to grow abit now thanks to a bit of sunshine just wondering if anyone could tell me why the leaves are a milky colour?

 

[StevOrganic]

She is coming along nicely now after a slow start is it normal for some of the leaves to be a little pale? It is now around day 33 and no sign of flowering yet is this normal for a slow starting Sativa dominant auto outdoors? Any input appreciated

Those look like deficiencies for sure. How's your pH? To high and nutrient intake will be diminished.
What are you feeding them and do you check the pH of you nutrient solution?
