Hi,I'm new to all this too,but what I can see from the picture it looks kind of yellow and the lower leaves bending downwards.(Maybe over watered)
If you can list how your growing,what soil,watering period,any nutes etc then I'm sure some of the experience people on here would be able to help you.

Thanks

ye +1 for sungrowers answer, over watered, let the soil dry out before you water again. the soil needs to be mild, if you using multi purpose compost dont, get some seedling soil and start fresh

personally if that was my plant i would bin it and start again....

Wow really? damn well I guess that calls for a restart...do you know any soil I can just use through the whole plant's life? It was over watered I just wanna coast it out and see if the plant will grow more though you know? and I believe its seedling soil I dont think its compost..Im using a grow light and I just switched it to 12/12 lighting cycle

you dont need to change the lights to 12/12 for autos mate, they will flower under constant light...

soil iv used a few, get some seedling compost and some tomatorite/tom feed and read a few of the diarys to get a idea of what you need to do....

if you click on the link auto crossin there is a little auto grow for you to look at

Now dont take this wrong,but it looks like another case of being to fussy and over watering.

I'm looking at this for myself as well,and i think its because of what the plant is that we fuss over them to much,and its either this or to much nutes.

I want to get into a grow,and jus treat it like you would any other plant,the only exception to it being your in an enclosed environment so certain rules then do apply.

As for seeds,seedlings and on to young plants,just treat as you would any other plant,and at this stage they require very little to my mind.

Sorry if that sound patronizing it wasnt meant to be,i just get a bit miffed seeing peoples efforts going to waste,especially when you see a grow halfway through,or nearing the end,and it ruined by being to fussy,or doing things that are really not needed.

I would start again,but dont scrap this seedling,set it aside,let the soil dry,and well you never know it might pick up.Ive heard of clones that looked dead and buried,put to one side only to start rooting ,and pull through.

So I should leave it on 24/7 hr light for autoflower? and I was over watering it...That is my fault..but after I realized that was it I havent watered it since then so im hoping it will pull through im thinking about buying many more supplies soon...Also purchasing more auto flowers..Thanks Bobby for the auto grow help & skinters for keeping it real lol
