welcome to autos brother

could be a few things as well that may have stunted them.
First let me ask this, how far are your lights

 

[420Grouch]

Its 18 inches now it was about 10 though bacause the ad said i could keep it close to my lights. What are my reprecussion for my early stunted growth

 

[Afrikaaner]

also how far into the grow are you? my autos were VERY squat for a while before they got into flowering where they stretched a LOT in some cases.

 

[420Grouch]

about 15 days

 

[Afrikaaner]

yeah, relax, they probably haven't started the stretch yet. even so, on most of my mi5, at the bottom, i had maybe 3 or 4 very tightly spaced nodes with the rest of the plant being normal. i wouldn't worry, especially because there is PLENTY of time for them to stretch.

Thanks Man Just worried cause its my first grow

 

[Afrikaaner]

i hear ya. at that stage, having very tight spacing looks to be the norm in autoflowers. for my mi5, as soon as they showed their sex, they pretty much exploded with growth.
