Autoflower stem thickness

[Piper.180]

Hi all, this is my first autoflower grow and was just wondering about the stem thickness of autoflowers. I'm seeing a massive difference between the thickness of autoflower stems and photoperiod stems. I'm now wondering if it's a autoflower trait or maybe it's caused by going straight into the final pot. I normally pot up with photos.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi mate 

I'm also doing some autos for the first time, usually fems but wanted a quick try out on the auto pots before I splurge on some better seeds.

My main stems is huge to but I put it down to the autopot and 15l pots, like you it might just be the autopots

Remember the old saying a healthy tree needs a big root? Well ask any auto breeder whats the most important part of a auto & they will say the root's. Strong root strong strong tree

The stem thickness is probably because of the ruderalis heritage of autos.
