Hello All, First time growing and results so far don't seem normal from what I have researched. I started by buying 5 Tangerine Dreams auto flowering seeds and sowed them using the dark, warm indoor room method in little plant cups with soil. Soil I used and continued to use was Fox Farm Ocean Forest with a few amendments like perlite. 3 out of the 5 seeds germinated and I moved them into a room with a grow light to start the second phase. After weeks of growing in this condition and they got some height I pruned them after the 4th node and started to transition them the their outdoor home. I transferred the plants to their 5 gallon containers and gradually moved them into the full sun after a few days of acclimating them. My climate is coastal with heat and humidity. I started the Fox Farm 3 pack fertilizer (BB,GB,TB) schedule according to their recommendations. Plants still kept growing but not real fast. They seem to have stalled. I made the mistake of not noting time of spouting to today but if I had to guess they are in the 7-9 week stage. They get 10-12 hours of sun so far, more to come with summer around the corner. I am getting no more height and they are filling out and very compact. I read the specs on the seed and these should be a lot bigger. The height of these are from 12"-15" max so far. At this point I really don't know what is going on. Is this normal, at what point am I at in this growing stage, what do I do next, etc..... I have the live and learn attitude but it is always nice to get it right the first time. Especially if you want to do it outdoors with the limited grow time you have. Pictures are from today in its current state. Any help, observation, advice would be great. Thank You......
