Hello all, I am going to need your expertise once again.

As you can see in my journal, I have a Royal queen seeds Dwarf which had serious troubles, from what I've concluded is very "hot" soil. At about day 15 my Dwarf looked like this:

Two days after that picture it began dying, so I removed it from soil, cleaned it's roots and replanted it in a plastic cup. It continued to look miserable. After a few days almost all the old leaves died (I cut two branches and other two just fell on their own).

I was patient with it, and today it looks like this :

This is supposed to be day 25. It's been showing steady growth, new leaves appear and the old ones are getting bigger. The roots have grown and appear at the sides of the cup.

I've been looking over the internet, and for a photo sensitive strain it makes sense to keep it, since you can extend the veg phase, but am not sure that applies for an auto. it is 3 inches tall, while my other plants that were started at the same time are over 7 inches, plus it's more or less that 10 times smaller. Actually, it should begin flowering in 10 days or so. :S

My question: Given that this is an auto strain, plus the stress it's been into, would putting it in a pot give me something? (ignore the fact that it may turn male). Take into consideration that I have a small grow area (holds 4 pots) so it's either this or a fresh new one from seed. What would you do?
 
I've stunted a few autoflowers and continued to grow them. If I had it to do over again I would absolutely have pulled the stunted ones and started over, especially in a limited space setup. It may seem like a tough decision now, but when you see all your other plants flourishing and that one little one puttering along you'll kick yourself. Also, it'll give you a nice staggered harvest as well. Just my two cents. Best of luck, ultimately the decision is yours.
 
Thanks. I guess the harvest will be poor, but given that I don't expect to be over 15 inches maybe I can keep it somewhere outside.
 
Well guess what, it grows strong, and it looks like a girl as well!

I don't have any more space in my grow area for another bucket, so I guess I'll keep it in the cup and see what I can harvest from it.
