ok, so they are autos... transplanting into anything isnt usually a good idea. looks like you started them and then transplanted already one time? mostly... start an auto in the pot it will end in.
if you were experienced i could see you maybe salvaging some in a transplant. but these are pretty wrecked.
you are a new grower, so just keep on keeping on, but today, in one of the 3 gallon (that is the 11l pots) start a brand new seed. use the paper towel method, or the water or whatever, but when it hits soil, make sure it is where it will end up. your 3 gallon (11l) are the smallest id go.
the soil is ph'd buffered to 6.5. no need to mess with ph.
dont feed it till you see those two very first leaves at the bottom turning yellow.
when you start it, water it. it most likely wont need water for a very long time.
it has that one tap root and that will try its best to get to the bottom of whatever pot you use. luckily, with gravity being what it is, the water made its way down too. so adding water while this one tiny little root is creeping to the bottom will go a long way into drowning it.
^^^^ that is one reason many want you to use a photo. at this point (and its looking like you did that) you made the little root gasp for air in the pool of water that is now its home. with a photo, you correct yourself, and pluck the dead stuff and wait longer. with an auto not so much.
if you were experienced i could suggest some things you could try to fool it into waiting to flower, but im gonna guess that wouldnt work if you dont have experience.
once you are to this point, it is much easier. there is an overwhelming urge to water it in a day, 2...3...4... but in that pot, it will be more like over a week. next, and this is important, read all the watering guides here. but start with this:
for the next bit, watch, and wait. the plant will tell you what it wants. you can inflict the most damage to an auto by thinking you can mess with it like a photo.
these plants will never produce much, they are stunted. and they eat resources ($, ferts, time, equipment) so, that is a decision for you. throw money at it and not get much, or restart and throw time at it and try to get more.
it would be a learning thing, but you would not really get that good warm fuzzy feeling from a good grow.
what light do you have? and what is the rest of the equipment situation (exhaust? fans? hum/dehum? temps and humidity? tent?)
keep in mind, autos are good, they are just not forgiving. photos are forgiving but come with a different set of issues like a need for a "total" dark cycle that autos dont need.
i guess i am most interested in the light, which do you have and what size space?

Marijuana Watering, how media, pot size/shape and environment affect it
Ok lots of posts on how to water plants. So I thought I would put together a thread on how different factors contribute to different results that ppl see. This will be a long read based on my personal knowledge, opinions, research and others work to consolidate information for our members. I'm...
