Im not telling you what to do, but transplanting an autoflower is a no no, they have very weak root systems and transplanting can shock an auto, you germanate your bean and put it directly into the pots you intend to do your whole grow in, as stated at the best of times autos are fussy, by transplanting your plants can get shocked and dwarf out, or they just might refuse to flower, i have seen it all, i just had a huge green poison plant that refused to flower for no good reason, plant was in great health, ph fine, i cut the light cycle to 12/12 for a week in hopes of jumpstaring the plant, nothing, then i put it in darkness for 3 days by this time the plant was 40 days old, to old to flower, thats what i ment when i said there fussy and bitchy, just paid $65 for 3 beans ive been growing 40 years first 2 beans would simply not germanate, the 3rd bean germanated in 24 hours and poped in 48 just like there supposed to, and this was methisto a really great breeder, toof decay was born today, 2 seeds bad 1 good and for no reason, autoflowers cost much more than photos and in my humble opinion autos are harder to grow than photos, beacuse there fussy little bitches.
