What would my next steps be?

Any advice is welcomed.

This is an auto that is in compost only. I have only been giving her water. She is placed on a heat mat in my greenhouse.

Get it in a bigger pot asap with good soil.

Autos don't like being transplanted so you could keep it in the pot you have but do multiple feed events a day or try and transplant it and hope that it doesn't stunt on you.

They Wong like those small pot either. Should have gone straight in 3-5 gallon pot.

I am going to re-pot and use large grow bags moving forward.

I'm experimenting with these running multi feeds a day. When I was working at a licensed grow operation one of the botanists was doing the same experiment where he ran a plant in a one gallon pot through the entire grow rather than transplant into a larger pot. I got to ask him lots of questions about this so I got a decent idea as to what I need to do. He was doing multiple daily feed events rather than just one and wait for the dryback. Each feed event was small. I asked him why he wanted to do this and he said that he was trying to find the moisture level where the plant could maximize the O² exchanges. He explained to me that when we water the entire media and wait for the dryback there is a period after you've watered where the soil moisture is too high limiting the O² exchanges. By finding the correct soil saturation he can keep the O² exchange window open longer meaning accelerated growth.

I got to watch his experiment in real time. It was the first time I saw a plant yield a pound out of a one gallon pot.

Interesting. Most commercial grows use photo periods. That way they can keep the same strains forever. I don’t mess with autos at all.

Sorry. I should have mentioned that he did this with a cloned photo from a photo mother. I don't see why this wouldn't work with autos.

Oops! Realized you were directing your answer to the OP. I have 8 autos germinating in various size pots. I thought you were asking about the gallon pots.

Each auto is differnt. When cloning you are growing the exact plant over and over. Makes it so you can really fine tune it.

So far its doing ok, I placed her in more controlled environment. I will be monitoring closely.

Fascinating!
