Howdy and welcome to the farm. Outdoor growing in Thailand is really difficult because of the bugs, particularly fungus gnats and spider mites, fought all of them on an auto grow but none of them went to full on bloom because of bugs.Yeah, a whole lot of new growers coming online in Thailand right now. Very fun to see tourists in coffee shops getting down and buying weed with crazy prices. Next grow I'm going to use one of those zip-up plastic grow houses to at least confuse the bugs. @Edinburgh is totally the man when it comes to autos hopefully he can help you. Again welcome to my moohbahn.what growing medium you using ? You could use more drainage more perlite perhaps? Looks over watered , not enuff light and those pots are too small for a auto to do well imo if size is an issue next time use 8 or ten “ pots at least

Thanks for the greeting and comments.Howdy, and welcome to the Farm!
I'm not all too familiar with autos- though there are plenty of knowledgeable folks here who are very familiar with autos. I'm sure one of them will chime in, soon.
As far as the temperature goes, I wouldn't think that is so much of an issue. Like I said, not familiar with autos so much, but in my experience I've had temps upwards of 110 F and if the plants are taken care of properly in the first place, they don't even miss a beat.
All I can say for sure is, from looking at the pictures and what you described, perhaps the issue is overwatering (watering too frequently, not letting the soil dry out enough) and maybe you have root issues.. But again, I'm no auto expert.
Mmmm, yes, maybe (the light balance). Now that they're firmly into the veggie stage I reckon that I'll get a couple of lamps to use. The weather's been very overcast also, so it might simply be a low light problem.If plants are inside and getting light through windows it’s likely the glass is filtering out blue light (good for leaf development and stalk thickening) and allowing in red light that causes plants to stretch. They need both for normal bushy growth.
In the photos they've just been watered - it's the same general garden potting soil that I've used successfully before.what growing medium you using ?

The growth is stunted because they are already floweringI'm sure now that the stunted growth was mostly a matter of not getting enough sunlight. (I was only using daylight before and this month's been overcast.)
Here's the result after only another week with a couple full spectrum lights. (They are autos, so a mature height of only about 2 - 2½ feet.)
Photos showing Dieselmatic at 7 weeks
I grow outdoor autos. I always expect this.... smaller plants and longer blooms. I find that they also rebound a little slower from training and pruning. Do not over prune early flower. I get so excited that I often slightly stunt my girls bc I can't keep my hands off them.( I do a lot of test and control w my grows. It's all in fun and it's "free" smoke by the time I harvest. ) IDK about Thai logistics or weather...but autos are designed to....automatically flower. So they will do what nature intended without perfect conditions. I find that I can't really do successful photos where I live. Light pollution, sub optimal sunlight....I run autos outdoors so I beat the high humidity I get late flower (late Aug) in the valley I live in.( Photos end up funky and botrytis is a real threat.) They look fine, though. As long as you pay attention to feeds, pH, h20, and pests you are controlling your grow. Remember this.... you will only get as decent product as your genetics allow, so try to give them the best opportunities you possibly can. Good luck!Greetings all - some advice please.
I'm a newbie at outdoor growing, although I've had successful grows twice in the past using light tents. Right now I have a batch of seedlings sitting on my window ledge in 4-inch pots. I deliberately chose compact auto-feminized hybrids - although it's now legal to grow weed in Thailand I want to keep a close watch on this first batch to see how things go. (I also potted 2 regular, larger strains with the idea of putting them into the ground somewhere secluded.)
I've no experience with auto-flowering seeds. I know they are more compact than regular strains and have less of a yield. But I'm getting a bit concerned now. It's exactly 6 weeks since they all popped their heads up and they seem to be hardly growing at all. The auto-flowering ones seem tiny but nicely formed, and started the first flower set at about 5 weeks.
They are on a north facing window and get bright light all morning and direct sun from midday till 6 pm. They're in a potting-soil/perlite mix - watered every 2/3 days with a soak-and-drain - started with mild nutrition (Fox Farm Grow Big) when the first fan leaves appeared. Soil is PH6. The minimum temperature is 30°C/86°F this time of year.
Are the autoflowing varieties OK with this kind of temperature? What's happening with the leggy Tropical Punch?
I'd appreciate your comments please, as this is my first grow with these hybrids.

But they are never "real" autoflowers and that's why they don't all autoflower like nature intended and is dependent on % of photo used in the cross,also why some reveg,confused genetics.
