Help, I’m new

[Ljust82]

I purchased some auto flowering seeds for a small closet grow room for personal use. I started with two plants. Once they started showing signs of flowering, I planted two more, which are growing like crazy. That’s pretty much the maximum capacity for my closet and mostly I just tried four in case I messed up. Here’s what’s going on now. Keep in mind, I’m totally new at this so any advice is much appreciated! I have no clue what I’m doing. I’m a goddess with houseplants and outside plants but this is all new to me.

Of the first two plants, one was always bigger, Fuller and grew faster. That one currently has huge leaves and is very full. The other one has tiny leaves, isn’t very full and is skinny and not as tall but it’s the one with all the buds. The big one is only just starting to show signs of flowering.
I guess I’m just wondering how to get the big one to start to flower instead of growing larger, which it seems to do every day, and will my skinny one end up ok? The buds are very small yet but growing by the day and it hasn’t been getting much taller or fuller. In fact some of the leaves looked yellow so I took them off. Not sure if that was a good move but the plant hasn’t seemed to mind. I have a picture of each plant.
All you experts out there, I need your advice! Thanks!!!

Your plants look very nice - nice color. Your plants need more light.

Those leaves look massive to me 'll admit Im new as well, so we are all learning together. You may want to consider taking a few leaves off. (especially large fan leaves). That should let some more light into the deeper areas. I had similar things happen to my plants. Same conditions, soil, light, etc... yet some just exceeded others. Next time I'm going to use a scrog to better manage and train the plants.

What lights are you running? How long for? How far is the light from the plant tops? What dimensions are your closet? I assume there is decent ventilation and air movement. Also ensure the water you are giving them is a good pH level.

I think if you gave it some blood meal it would help the bloom stage. You also don't want to overkill it.

Are they from the same seeds, I see many strains that are not genetically stable (yet),, which means you will see differences in the plants grown.
What are you feeding them? How often?
What size pots?
What are they?
I agree they need more light.

They look good to me. A bit more info like asked above let us know all the good stuff light schedule on autos is 24-0 or 20-4 stuff like that will help us help you. Good luck and welcome to growing the fun plants

That's the thing about autos - they flower when they flower lol.

I tried 2 different techniques of growing on 4 plants. The ones that I figured would yield less (and did yield less) started flowering first.

The ones that yielded more took almost over 50 days to start flowering. My belief is that because the bigger ones had more branches, they took longer to develop before they started flowering. More branches take more energy, so it seems to fall in line that it would take longer to reach the flower stage.

Theoretically, you take the bigger plant out of the tent for 12 hours a day and put it in a dark place. If autos don't automatically start flowering, I've heard that will force them to. But if I read correctly, it has already started flowering, it's just a little behind your other one.

Hope my rambles helped lol

Where did you get the seeds? Are they from a reputable dealer? They may or may not be the same strain. Hard to tell unless i haul my genetic testing laboratory to your closet. That is just an empty brag. I don't really have one.
