New Grower I think they are all root bound

[BLT85]

So my buddy started all my autos for me about a month ago maybe a month and a week. I went to put them outside yesterday and I noticed 4 out of the 5 are like 5 inches tall and already budding. They look like that's as tall as they are going to get he told me he transplanted them all but the small ones he did 2 weeks ago. The sweet tooth auto is much larger probably about a foot and looks great. He said he did that one first because they all started to yellow... I'm pretty sure I'm screwed.

I don't know what could have caused it, but it doesn't look so great. I know they still grow a lot during flowering, try Bud Ignitor from Advanced Nutrients. It should help create new bud sites. Other than that, I'm fresh out of ideas...

@Itisi @Vlad The Inhaler

Thought I'd harass you guys again asking for ideas...

What kind of soil are you using? I had this issue with my first grows because my soil was so thick the roots couldn't extend down...

My main question is...

Were they in very small pots to start with?

A guess would be that something went on from the get go. I would think even if they were root bound( which by looking at the size of the smaller one) but the fact that it is under developed would lead me to believe it doesn't have that type of system to get root bound. Unless they were in very small containers and root bound and then transplanted would make sense. This one of the reasons why auto's generally should not be transplanted. Also by looking at the pics that soil looks soaked and if that is the case then that surely does not help. They look like something you grow in a solo cup and if you can always do your own grow from the beginning
then you will not have any questions as to what has been done. The other lady looks real good though.

Well I'm not sure about the soil. I had my friend start them for me cause my girlfriend isn't exactly super supportive of growing. Yes when he started them they were in the small cubes I believe and he said that they were turning yellow before he transplanted them. That's why I thought root bound. They are pretty wet because he had just watered them. I told him from the start not to transplant and he was telling me how he has grown for year and don't worry. Now he blames it on them being autos. Also the tall one he transplanted first like a week or 2 before the others. I don't know what else he might have done. My next grow I'll do all the work myself.

So he's a one-year expert who knows nothing about autoflowers, but it's the autoflowers fault? Sounds like one of those duffers who blames the clubs...
You'll definitely be better off doing it yourself.
