Heideez_Grace The plant seems very small but when I compare to height and development of recent previous grows, it's about average for just under 4 weeks old. I have been dissatisfied with the size of my plants for a while and I have been trying to discover why they are so small. One possibility is I have adjusted my lighting down since my end of 2023 grow, due to high electric bills and that puts me in a Catch22. It doesn't or shouldn't affect veg because the plants are getting 650 ppfd under direct lighting at 50 %, but this Blue Dream is off-center and only gets about 300 ppfd which is way too low. I'll possibly adjust the lights up again. Raise them in height, so that they have more reach, and put them up to 75 %.

Heideez_Grace Buds are filling in but many white pistils remain. Leaves are starting senescence. The plant is looking a lot better than I thought it would, bigger than earlier indications.

I'm not so sure it is stunted afterall. When I look back on grows dating back to end 2023, plants have been somewhat smaller than usual. Comparing heights, they are all fairly similar developmentally. Prior to that, I grew bigger autos! Since the end 2023 grow, I have dialed the lights down to save coin. Catch 22. I need to review that. I have also been using a different soil and will possibly change back to the original soil blend.
