Update, im gonna nurse these 3 queens till they finish. The middle one is putting out pistils now so flowering is close. They are really starting to grow..so let's see how they do. I've started some lst to try and maximize light to the limited amount of bud sites.
Thanks everyone for the advice.

It's not the seed cost..they were about 5 bucks apiece..I don't want to use up 30 gallons of soil and 2 months of lighting costs for 1/2 ounce of buds.

You could sprout more seeds. It looks like you have enough room there. Maybe use smaller pots. Because the light duration doesn't change for autos, there's little worry about the life stage of the plant.

I can see your point there. Will be starting my first grow ever this spring. Pretty good gardener, but never weed. I've always used failures in the garden as a learning experience. What might fix the problem, what might prevent the problem, but I'm never using space I need for something else or have to pay the cost of a power bill to experiment. I'll be watching your grow...thanks for the time you spend to post it.

They look fine. But your pots are very large for this stage. The root ball needs to form. For that to happen you need wet and dry cycles. Drybacks.. Roots can only expand into moist soil. Get them wet, blow a fan on the soil. Repeat. They’ll take off!

Update number 3. Autos have somewhat taken off. Glad I saved them. I'm pretty sure it was a watering issue (not enough) during week 2 and 3. I've moved them into a proper tent, and have set up my other grow lights for a seedling area, veggies too. I flipped the lights on the photos today. Can't wait to see what these girls do.
Thanks everyone. My next zelda quest is reusing my soil!

After Harvest, I have found a small number of seeds in some of the buds from these queens. I guess the early stress made them hermie out? Smokes good anyway. My question is this, are the seeds viable? And if so is there a chance that any plant's from those seeds would be male? I may try germinating a couple.

They look well developed! Got no idea what sex they would be! I’ll bet they will pop!
