Are they autoflowers or photoperiods? How many hours of light are they getting? What light are you using?

I don't bring plants in and out, just because I don't want bugs inside. I suspect one issue is being under-lit. Light drives growth. Your plants are tiny for six weeks old, and look like they may have stretched looking for more light. This is an issue with autoflowers in general. They flower on their schedule, not yours, so if they're still small when they start flowering, it will limit yield.

They are an auto in flower. It looks like they flowered very early and not due to growth for sure. Prolly some type of stress but at this point it does not matter
You have a plant in flower. You should try to get as much of anything from these as you can and then plan a proper grow for autos. Get light up as high as you can ( in power ) without stressing the plant. Nutrition for flowering plants with higher p and k . Do not nuke them with nutes. Temp 75 and below to preserve temps. S
You can not really save much here with an auto but you have learned lots. Study up on autos or follow an auto grower like myself. I have 4 in a 4x4 and it was an ugly start for sure.

You need at least 4 or 5 to cover a 2 square foot area with enough light to grow a productive cannabis plant. Figure 100 watts per plant for autos.

The light energy the plant uses is on the box. It says 30 watts. This is not enough energy for the plant to grow properly. I got no problem with the light just with the output. You would need minimum 3 per plant to grow properly.
If you put it outside it will prolly try to reveg, seems like that's a thing this year here on the farm ...

www.growweedeasy.com is an outstanding reference for growing cannabis. It is where I started a while ago. Another great source here is the diaries section. You can use the search feature and look for folks growing autos for your next grow. Read the old diaries there is gold in them words. All kinds of mistakes that you will not have to make cause someone else did.
Good luck!

The settings sound self explanatory but mine get 100w light on 16hr on 8hr off. Even with a first minimalist grow a veg stage nutrient a flower stage nutrient, and a test kit are still super minimum. Moisture meter works ok, light and pH meter are useless.

I am sorry I am not making myself clear. These plants are not going to produce much unless you get more energy into them. Putting them outside requires a process that you do not have time for and just putting them out you will go from 12 12 to 14 plus hours sunlight and a huge increase in energy. yes it's an auto but this will stress the plant further.

You probably don't wanna hear this but it'd be better to just restart. there's no point in going through 8-10 weeks of flower just for a single bud yk. I'd restart but I understand if u don't wanna. I bet your next grow will be 2x better then this one
