Im am growing in 2x2 space in bio bizz light mix using biobizz nutes bizz nutes.

I cant tell if this is stunted and flowering.

Day 1 was 25.09.2026 i have the water ph and vpd dialed in. Would appreciate some advice
 
Stunted and flowering. Is it an auto?

The edges of the leaves look like they're curling up slightly, not to mention the yellowing, which makes me wonder how close your light is to the top of the plant.

Hi yea its an auto!
I think the yellowing was from last week were i believe it was nitrogen deficiency so i started to feed grow 1.5ml per L, root 1 and heaven 1 which seems to have slowed the yellowing down.

This light is at 50% and 43 cm high from top pf canopy (using spiderfarmer sf1000 led)
 
I'd maybe raise the light to 65 cm. 43 might be a bit too close even with a low watt led like that. What's your watering schedule like? As in how often are you watering and giving them a good dry back (assuming that's soil you're growing in).

Honestly, if it was me, I'd chop that and start over. I just don't see you getting enough from that to bother finishing it except some experience.

About 200/300 ml which drys back evry 3 days and have been waiting forntop 2 inches of soil to dry back before watering in a ring around the plant. Growing in bio bizz light mix btw.

Do you think its worth just popping it in a solo cup?

Nope. Best case scenario you gain some experience and a scrawny little bud, probably not even enough for a joint.

I've never grown autos, from what I understand they can be a little tricky for new growers.

You're giving it about a cup and 1/4 of water every 3 days. How big is the pot? Depending on the size, you're either under or over watering it. Judging from what I can see, I'd be giving it at least a quart (approx. 950 ml) once a week and then waiting a week before adding more. Let it dry out and the roots start to stretch their legs and develop looking for more.

Just my 2 cents minus taxes.
 
Also, fwiw, whenever I suspect they need a dose on nitrogen, I reach for the Alaskan fish fertilizer. It's 5-1-1, so high nitrogen. If that's what's lacking, it greens your plants up nicely and also gives seedling a little growth spurt boost. And it's safe even for young plants, it won't nute burn them.

So the pot size is 5gallon, i thought id feed/water little and often to avoid overwatering and rotting the roots.
Do you think i could get away with taking this one out and popping a photoperiod seed in the same soil?

Safe bet? Start them in a 12 oz plastic solo cup (cut holes in the bottom for drainage) and give them 3-4 weeks in that to establish a good root system before up potting to the 5 gal. A lot easier to monitor moisture levels in a smaller pot. Push comes to shove, I've used soda cups from the local convenience store/gas station as long as they're not the see thru kind. Great way to recycle them instead of throwing them in the trash.

Fill the cup with soil. Lift it. Feel the weight of it dry. Now you know what it feels like when it's dry.

Now water it in. Saturate it. Let it soak up the runoff in the dish under it. Repeat until it's not wicking up any more runoff. Don't be in a hurry. Give it a half hour or longer to wick up the runoff. Now lift it again. Feel the difference. Water again when it feels close to the dry weight. Use a scale if you feel the need to be really accurate. Should get at least a week in between waterings unless temps in the grow room are outrageously insane high. The soil you have should be good to go for about a month without any added nutrients.
