Day 8 : I don't do much atm, just feed and let the plant do it's thing Day 12: i noticed her leaves look a little bit weird but could be normal, I'll pay close attention on her now. Day 13: I mixed my nutrients in an 0.5l container but used the dosage of an 1l container, so i overfed her but quickly noticed my mistake to correct it by flushing with plain PH water. after flush i mixed the right ratios and fed her with it. She's doing well, no real signs of nutrient burn.

She looks good. But i don't really know if the leaves are ok because of their shape. But i think i could come from the heavy indica genetics. Day 21: I transplanted her into an 3gal fabric pot and i also bought an co2 bag.

Day 22: atm i just let her do her thing but I'll start LST in a couple of days. Day 23: Started training her. Her leaves are hanging a bit so I'll give her some time to regenerate. Day 24: Her leaves started to rise again and her tops have continued to develop. I think she's doing better now. Day 25: She's doing better. Temps in my tent are now 23 degrees so i guess she'll fully heal in the next days :) Day 27: Still slow growth and her leaves are still hanging a bit, i don't know if it's genetics or if there's still water left.

hi there so you have three problems. first of all overwatering, you can see from the "puffy" space in between the veins of the leaf and the wrinkled leaves that you're overwatering , this will actually shock the plant a slow growth. to fix this problem you should simply follow a strict wet/dry cycle. you need to find a better solution for how to see if you need to water or not. See the " lifting method " for when to water. Second problem is: your VPD is off. vapor pressure deficit is what regulates metabolism and metabolism is what regulates plant growth. You will want to basically raise your temperature and humidity, just get a cheap space heater in there! Third, and this the easiest problem, just water with water that's warmer at 21°C, this will trick the roots into thinking it's warmer than it is and will stimulate growth. hope this helps ! 🚀

Day 28: I adjusted the wires and let her grow a bit taller until max week 6 of veg. Day 29: Cut 2 leaves of for more light reaching the lower branches. Day 30: cut another 3 leaves and trained her a bit. Day 31: She's really doing well now! Today i switched into 12/12 because I don't have time to stretch the veg phase any longer. Day 33: Atm I just let her do her thing. Will water her tomorrow because she has been "drying out" since maybe 5 days or so So i think It'll be okay if i water her now. Day 34: She does grow really slow atm. I think I'll chop her down if this doesn't get better because there's no point in wasting space with this plant while my other plants could get a better position in the tent and therefore get more PAR-rich light.

Day 36: Didn't do much on her, I still just let her do her thing. Day 37: Flushed her with PHed water with some additional boosters but not with the PH-Perfect nutrients. Still no signs of pre-flower... Day 38: She's looking really good now. She's still not pre-flowering so atm I just let her grow and start flowering. Day 40 Still letting her do her thing... Day 42: She now entered the Pre-Flower stage :) Day 46 Flower Day 4: I Would say she's already in flower so i started to give her flowering nutes. I also defoliated her.

@NodularStomp, yeah either the mat or simply just a small and cheap space heater... And get that exhaust back up - no sense getting bud rot over this ... And get a fire alarm in there. Don't die for this lol

NodularStompcommented6 years ago
@CRiSPrGrow, I noticed that i have an unused heat mat for my dog, should i just wrap it around the pot for a day or would this cause more issues ? And i noticed the plant starts to grow a bit now or at least the 2 new tops have been developing since yesterday.

NodularStompcommented6 years ago
@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks for your answer I'll let the soil dry out for some time an then water a bit. But i already use the technique of lifting the pot. Do you have an idea how i could try to raise the temps in my tent ? because i already turned down the exhale fan.

Resin_Randycommentedweek 46 years ago
same here week 2...slow growth on at least 3 of them. 2 are doing fine but still growing slower than expected. Not even speaking of the Dinafem Cheese XXL which is double the Size... But she is an auto-flower so i really can compare the 5 cookies only. Temps are around 30°C and I only water 20 ml of water every day and use Kelb spray on the leafs to support the growth but for now it seems to be a really lazy strain.

@@Resin_Randy, https://getpulse.co/blog/vpd <-- check this out for VPD info with a nifty chart , you'll need to be spraying them almost 6 times a day to get the humidity up and hit that VPD optimum , remember you need a laser thermometer to take the temps at the leafs
Athos
Athoscommentedweek 46 years ago
To answer your question: Both issues, slow growth and the sad leaves have the same culprit over watering, you are giving too much water and not letting the soil dry before watering again. Also when temperatures are below 23°C (73°F), like in your case, the slow slows down to a crawl. Rise temperatures and let the soil dry and ir will do much better.

NodularStompcommented6 years ago
@@Athos, Ok Thank you will try that. But the thing is i only water when the pot feels light again.

I love logging into this website and seeing some decent little saplings growing starting their amazing journey towards becoming fat bud yielding monsters. Best wishes on this grow my friend and I'm excited to see how everything progresses. Good luck!
