New Grower First Grow So Let's See How I Do

[dcat0921]

So here we are after another week. Seeing some good growth on some but growth on all. Only concern is Curly appears to have pistils/flowering already but maybe it's just her strain...she is a Kera Crazy Bud. She broke ground on 9/13 but didn't do well until transplanted around 9/25. Since this is my first grow I'm not 100% sure what I'm seeing. Any ideas would be welcome.

I had a good feeling those were pistils that I seen on curly last week. To my limited knowledge, there are three things that could of happened from what ive read and seen. The first being most vague is that somehow, the plant was stressed early on. Something that from what youve posted, was out of your control. Two, you said you transplanted them. Everyone in the autoflower community speaks against doing so. There is a guy I follow on youtube who does this purposely though to grow very small autoflowers in a sea of green style. He yields like 7-21grams each plant which looks like one fat cola coming from the soil. Three, could just be a bad seed bro. It happens.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was stress causing it. She had a rough childhood..lol. I didn't read until after all 4 had been transplanted that it was a bad thing so I don't know if that was the problem as all 4 had that same treatment. And honestly if i only get one big bud of that size I'd be thrilled as I didn't know if she would survive past 2-3 weeks.
I appreciate the input though as it gives me some ideas as to how it may have happened so I don't do it again.

I agree with everything StraightKRACK has said. Aside from the early issues I think your doing a fine job, you may even have a little smoke while the last one is finishing. Not the worst thing that could happen. To that end have you thought about using the CFL's to give Curly some more light to the lower buds? Good luck. Grow well brother.

Thanks for the look and advice. Actually I didn't think about that. I have some 23w 6400 I could use or do you think I need something else for that?
Would I be better with one large say 125-150w or maybe 2 23w 6400 and 2 23w 2700?

Here are the girls in their new home - 48x48 tent. Still working on layout. Have another light coming Friday so I will have plenty of coverage and plenty of room for more plants!!

So my new 600w led came in and when i have all 3 lights running the temps get pretty high. Would an intake fan help my temps or anyone have any other suggestions? I have a 6" exhaust with carbon filter that doesn't show in the pics...

Your tower fan is blowing around the air ABOVE the lights around and can cause this, even with a vent fan... try using something like a clip on oscillating fan that can blow below the lights and let their heat just rise and get sucked out... keep all the bottom screens open too to let lots of fresh air in... in my humble opinion of course.
