3Berries I did the same. After a day or two the thought came to me that I should have added water to the 5 gal in prep for the transplant. Because I used hot soil I water a 4 cups at a time until I see run off every three days.
They are really exploding in their 6th week, 2 inches or so a day, I think the roots are reaching the richest soil at the right time. The only way to confirm this would be to replant in a 7 gal pot. If I am wrong headed about this I hope someone will tell me, like, "No, Saty that is the way GSC autos grow."

The problem with big pots and little plants is watering. My last transplant I did not thoroughly water the new soil for a couple of weeks. Just added a quart right at the plant when transplanting, again the next day just a bit then finally a half gallon yesterday.

I germinated my autos in plugs and placed the plugs in the convenient trays, I did it that way thinking I could better control water and humidity. A couple of days after germination I placed them in 5 gal pots. I don't think the plants had any awareness of what size pot they were in and think the only difference was in my head. I had success 7 out of 7 seeds. However if a grower plans on handling the seedlings a lot, moving them from table to tent and such smaller pots makes it easier. In the long run I think the more room for root growth the better but I am new at indoor gardening.

Hazyn740 both comments by BeeGinner and Puglover1 are pointing you in the right direction. Burnt leaf tips on young plants can indeed be a sign of nutrient burn, but yellowing leaves and leaf tips can also be caused by overwatering and light burn. Whether you transfer your plants or start them in a smaller starting pot is completely up to you. Some like a fuller rootball before putting their plants in their forever home. What’s really important for young plants is less nutrients and drainage. Over time you may find some strains will do better starting in larger pots and some may not. In the end; you know your plants best and will always have to temper advice with personal knowledge.
Good on you for doing your best and for having just a few of GWE’s many concerned and helpful members pulling for you!

Now my GG auto is startin to grow flower hairs and its only like 2 inches tall sprout basically,// the northern lights is about 4inches ive transplanted. All but the one BCN sprout. Is it cause i had them on veg lighting for so long that when i tried to just up the lighting by adding bloom setting l.e.d's too that the plant took that as a signal to flower? cause those spectrums were added to its regular dose of just veg setting lights that are more blue? I turned the bloom setting off so hopefully the plants change their minds and grow bigger first then ill turn bloom back on

I have some GSC autos in their 5th week and may be starting to flower but I hope I am wrong, They are barely 14" tall but wider, I am a bit disappointed in their size and have been topped once. I am hoping they are going to explode soon. This is my first serious grow but I would suggest getting those plants pictured in their final homes as well.
I hope you have some great bud Hazyn740

Sorry you were left hanging - I don’t get on much these days. I have been growing in Hydro DWC for 10 years and here is my take on your situation. I really think it’s genetics. All plants are the same, all plants display the same anomaly. What you’re seeing is not normal even for nutrient deficiency or overload. You’re set up and specs look fine. As long as the girls are otherwise healthy and growing well there is really nothing that needs to be done. In hydro keep an eye on your roots as you know. The babies look nice in their clean white tees 😎
Best wishes and Happy Pharming.

The Northern Light sure started early on the flowering - it’s my understanding that most auto’s do not start flowering until around weeks 4 or 5. The GG looks good. If it was me I would start them in their forever homes first to avoid transplanting. It may also be a good idea to go ahead and transfer them now. Even though the Northern Lights may end up being a runt transplanting to cloth bags now could help alleviate any root issues and help with growth, allowing the roots some growing and breathing space. Best wishes and Happy Pharming.

High guys lol just checking back in need to know if these look like theyre doing good it looks like my northern lights is growing little hairs??? And its drooping on top i just removed two leaves that were dead couple days ago.. My lights are like 22" from plant with the veg lights lil lower cause theyre not as strong and just supplement my bigger lamp. I started turning my light on veg and bloom so it would deliver full spectrum light not just veg and to bump up the temp in closet.. Are these okay?? The smaller one that looks like its mutated or sumn with all the leaves its a gorilla glue auto
