Look into getting the bigger pots of whatever style, and transplant it to a bigger pot, keep her on the 18/6 light cycle with proper nutrients and like merlin and lostgirl said it’s
most likely a photoperiod so you can extra veg her and make her get bigger.

@DanB @Lostgirl @ACMilan …I am looking closer to the plant just now because today is nutrient and water day. The Wedding Cake gets FF Trio. I haven’t used any on the 17 day old autoflower Moonberry Kushrocks. The Wedding Cake has been fed every other week using the FF Trio at half strength with the current directions calling for grow big and big bloom together. I don’t even know if I’m using the Trio right because I’ve seen people here recommend all three at once but the FF chart says the grow big and big bloom together at this point. Tell me what you think? I know I need to get some sledgehammer too. I don’t have any because I just found out about the high salt in them. The roots are coming through the bottom of the pot and I understand about the bigger pot. I have another 5gl grow bag. I’ll transplant asap.

I would stick with half strength of exactly what they recommend by Fox farm chart.

I have no answer on FF trio, I use Lotus, I got the starter pack.
@Lostgirl knows FF Nutrients I would wait for a reply from them an definitely take the advice an apply it.
Yes ma’am indeed. @Lostgirl. I’ve read a lot of your experience with FF nutes. Or all nutrition experience you have. Thanks I’ll definitely keep to the schedule. I know you recommend sledgehammer if you use ff. Do I need that immediately??
I’ll be totally honest with you I don’t even like Fox farm nutrients. Nor do I use them. (My personal opinion)
Nevertheless, they do work and will get the job done. They recommend utilizing sledgehammer approximately every 30 days to flush the salts that build up from the nutrients. (Sledgehammer is simply a byproduct of yucca)
Eliminating salts from the root zone only leads to healthier roots. So yes I do suggest using it.

@Lostgirl. Thanks for your honesty. It was a gift from my brother with the seeds so I used it. I’m digging on a different medium that’s more successful and less all over the place as soil. What’s your setup??

I use Happy frog soil with perlite (four to one ratio) I use advanced nutrients base nutrients with a few of their additives not many.
Just kind of reading over some of your stuff the best suggestion I can give to you cuz I wouldn’t put too much time into that stunted girl especially when sitting on over a hundred seeds from ILGM (LOL)
Find a good medium that you like and stick with it. The same goes from nutrients. Spend the time to understand your nutrients as well.
Somebody mentioned above your environment temperatures etc are off. This is extremely important to dial in and maintain.
Unfortunately we usually find these things out on the negative side of trial and error. The bright side the more you read the more you understand the more questions you ask the more you’ll learn.
Quality seeds, good lighting (never go cheap on lighting), quality nutrients, good medium, a dialed in environment, and good watering habits will perfect your grow.

Don’t worry about all that.
You are fine, you are just missing some fundamental steps, but we can help you. I am not very experienced, but I cover all my bases.
Ok, even 12 weeks it’s really weird.
From your pictures, I would think they are a few weeks old.
I am not sure how you achieved that.
I am sorry dear, I can’t explain that, it is still too confusing,
She looks healthy as well, just I do not know how she could be 12 weeks old,
Can you check your diary again? Lol

@ACMilan…I love you! You definitely cover the bases. Listen to this story. I relocated for a month and my sister in law took care of my plant. I couldn’t be for sure her exact treatment but when returned 6 weeks later after two weeks of watching carefully myself so I did go back and look and it’s planted in a peat pellet on September’s 1st. They reached the top of the dome and I transplanted to the 2 1/2 gl plastic pot. Then I moved away for a month and it took another three weeks to retrieve my plant and that’s when I saw my plant lying on top of the soil root ball intact. I don’t know if it happened during the travels to my house or not. The grow tent may have been too complicated to assemble for her lor she just treated it as a houseplant. Either way. After tallying up everything and comparing it to my journal I believe it’s fully 12 weeks old. Idk?? Whatcha think?? My brother suggested that the plant may have lied dormant during the stressful time and put off growing. Idk??? I did upgrade all equipment, especially lighting and humidity. But not until I discovered this forum and learned stuff. I’m ready to grow hopefully 2 plants. That’s going to do me fine. At least until I upgrade again. Anyway, I was using a full spectrum bulb in a regular socket that was meant for seedlings and germination. I didn’t get the proper equipment until September 15th. So that’s the concise version. Still too long. Thanks for your questions and answers especially your honesty. Ms Milan? Do you think it’s possible for an author to lie in a dormant state to protect itself or should I chalk it up to the resilient Ruderalis gene???

Ok, ok, I got it; if she was left to her own, she then doesn’t develop much, plus being left out of her pot, even with the soil around her
Cannabis is a weed and will survive dire conditions without dying, but, we don’t want just that; we want to get the best out of them.
Anyway, keep doing what you are doing and let’s see in 2 weeks how she’s grown

You have 2 options: carry on or start afresh, Personally, I would start over; she had the worst start in life, and chances are she is not going to be great.
For my last crop (but first solo), I did 5 plants, I had a 6th one, but there was no room, so I put her on a window sill and gave her some water and nutrients. I never moved her to a bigger pot, so she was tiny. I then moved her to the tent for the 12/12 period. In the end, I had a very small but perfectly formed plant, not smoked yet, and that also reminded me of my last post asking if the pots I am using are too small, i just had an epiphany…

@ACMilan what if I give the autoflower the center of attention by moving her directly in the center of the tent thereby under the center of the light and move the other abused plant off to the side?? I thought the Wedding Cake was flowering also as @kaptain3d said as well as @Lostgirl said. There is some pistols and lots of new green growth and that’s why I’m struggling with ditching her. She’s skinny af but trying like hell to live and bear fruit. The both plants I agree are autoflower. Right?? Should I see if she does anything else amazingly unexpected before killing her off?? Like another 2 weeks trial run??

Sitting on over a 100 seeds I think playing with a 4 in plant that’s 15 weeks old and the cost of nutrients and lighting to get your four blunts at the end is senseless. (My opinion)
Don’t take this the wrong way but you’re trying to put lipstick on a pig.
