I think that for the time going the plant is growing slowly, My humidity is a bit low during the lights on around 56% but I dont have a humidifier yet, I'm spraying water to the walls of the grow tent😐
This week I started adding top veg from top crop and I raised a fan I had on the floor. I put a timer on it to turn it on 1 hour and one hour off for 24 hs, during the lights on I had my humidy very low, around 35° so I put 2 trays with water in it because I dont have a humidifier yet
Update: with the 2 trays mi humidity went up to 55%
Hey there Fexner, sorry to say but you're right : it's growing "slowly". Why? see , the plant metabolism is regulated by what's called the vapor pressure deficit (VPD) which is the relationship between the plant's temp, the environment's temp and the humidity (RH), so with your temperature your RH should be around 65 for optimal growth. This you can do by putting a garden bell or a clear plastic cup over your seedling for a week or so max and it will grow a bit quicker. Hope this helps ! 🚀
They are starting to grow really fast in my opinion I start doing some LST hope the go up fast.
The little one is getting better but slow growth and the leaves are more yellow, any advice?
They are streching alot and I think they are going to go into flower soon. I broke the main stem of my sick plant trying to do some LST but I put same tape on it and it recover very fast for an auto, Im very surprised
One of the plants grow very slowly from the beginning, the first leaves had some spots of lighter color, I used neem oil for any pest that might have but still keep growing slow and it had a lighter color than the rest and the stems where stiffer, What could happen?Its not the PH
Hey looking at your first couple weeks of the diary that seedling was overwatered and it appears to have caused a root issue. I have had plants like this and they always grow slower and are more sensitive to nutrients and the environment than the healthier plants. They also have a lot less roots at harvest. Dont worry though because she will put off some nice buds!
The have a bit of excees nutrients, I will flush them and then just plain water. 2 plants they are about to flower but they never start, the other one is already making buds but dont see any trhicomes yet.
BIG PROBLEM! It turned out that the seeds weren´t full auto, I had to change the light schedule to 1212 and after that the began to flower. A bit dissapointed . The buds are forming, but at different rates, they are starting really slow and no trichomes yet 😞
Someone stole my plants, so there wont be any updates, its a shame and im very sad and disappointed to put so much love and effort in my first grow and to arrive at the house and see that everything is gone.
I dunno your grade of experience but in case you already know it's just a brush-up. I used to have a perfect PH but didn't know how bad salts can build up and each macro, micro & amends have a specific preference PH wise. Meaning that the plant absorbs Calcium best at "x" PH but Copper gets locked out at that PH, as an example. Therefore proper drainage (or flush if/when necessary) and a good watering schedule that will allow the plant to dry out totally (PH goes up while drying) will create the conditions for a cycle that allows the plant to intake everything it needs at different PHs while getting from soaked to dry. Adding nutes won't help just because the plant is not able to absorb them.
From what I see this could be one cause (or the cause) but I also see a Mag deficiency in the early stages. PH floating in a wrong cycle would cause a slow in growth before showing real deficiencies.
If you didn't know or know that acted wrong (possibly or for sure) I'd go for a flush (with any bleaching product) with drainage of minimum 50% of the water you gave it. Meaning that you have to flush until watering 1gal gives you drainage of 1/2 gal. I'd let the dry 24hrs and nute them again, starting with real low dosages. Less is more is the rule of thumb at this stage, more so with Indicas. Last I'd introduce straight away a Mag plus via foliar spray 4 times a day for a week or so. The girls will show you they're much better and it's time to stop spraying Mag. Don't do a Cal-Mag, it could mess up intakes and won't allow you to understand if you got it right or not.
This is stuff I experienced once only and studied the hell out of books, forums, experienced growers and internet tutorials but still, I'm a newbie myself so this is just "scholar" stuff. Theoretically right...but the diagnose is no theory! Won't harm anyway flushing and adding some Mag to the diet.
Hope to see your babes shining in few days...they'll skyrocket afterward, don't bother for dimension right now, bother for the right diagnosis & treatment.
GL!

@Felopo, I'm a newbie too, in fact, I was reluctant and scared to sound "here comes the teacher" type of reaction...yep, I studied ALOT but at the same time I realized that golden equipment and golden info are quite little in fact, compared to real-life experience. But hey, we gotta start from somewhere, don't we?! So I decided that in case you didn't know it'd been very helpful Infos (as it had for me just last month!). I feel much more relaxed now and happy that I may have helped you. Infos and proceedings are from verified sources so you'll do just fine with those! If you need anything, just give us a shout! IF I can be of any help...even just exchanging information ya know...Hope your girls get better soon!!! Happy Cultivar!

@DaGroa, wow, awesome information maan, im pretty new with all of this, I have read a lot and just now Im starting to put it in practice, Im gonna do what you said, thanks for the help! I Appreciate it a lot!
Fuuuuck dude, absolutely so so sorry to hear that.
I know zero details but this is just another reason you tell NOBODY about your grow.
Hope you find a new safe spot buddy, best of luck!
@Vangogh_Grow, Thanks mate, it's a shame that people like this exist, I hope to star growing soon but I will have to figure out a lot of things first. Keeping good energy!
I'm no expert, so don't take my word for granted, just have a thought about it. I had my last plants looking just like your when they were young and in the end, studying, researching and stuff, I ended up with a MAg Def.! I gave her mag foliar spray few times a day for a week or so and it definitely went better. I repeat, take it with gloves. GL BRO!v👍
