My guess is your overwatring it atm.. The medium looks drenched.. Give it a nice wet / dry cycle. I usually water every 2-3 days depending. Hope this helps friend! 👊

Guten Abend :) ich habe ein Frage bezüglich der Größe der Pflanze. Mein momentaner Grow befindet sich mitten in der Blütephase, jedoch sind die Pflanzen gerade mal ca. 25 cm hoch. Ist das normal bei Autoflowers? Oder werden die noch größer?

One of the two grows slow, should I replace her? I have a northern light auto and White Widow auto, dont know which is which :/
One of my girls grows very slow. (see pics). She looks healthy but like I said.. I had problem with heat, was 30 degrees daytemp the last few days. Other than that it's all fine. I spray them often and they have good lights. The other one receives the same care and grows well.

Plants are too small?? HELP??
I just started my first grow two weeks ago today and noticed they are a bit small compared to other grows and autos I have seen. I am currently feeding them: 2ml calmag, 2ml micro, 4 ml bloom and around 100ml per plant every 24 hours. Am I overfeeding, underfeeding? any ideas?

How come so short?
Does any one know how to get these girls taller? Lights at almost 46" above them. 2000watts of metal halide, dimmable quantum ballasts.

Slow growth
My plant has been 36 days old. She may be the northern lights automatically. I think she grows a little slowly. Do I need enough patience to wait for her to bloom? Because I'm worried that her life cycle is coming to an end.

Small plant thin stems ?
Growing autoflowers in greenhouse in Euro climate. I’m finding that my plants end up with thin stems but of average height. Yields are small but only using 7gallon pots with water only. Any ideas on why that is ?

Slow seedling growth?
The growth feels quite slow - Have outdoor seedlings growing at a much faster rate (Especially stretching towards the sun) - Could this be my lighting? All sprouted over the last 4 days (50 CM from LED - Just switched over to the VEG only light mode to see if they stretch a bit)

Piante nane e poco sviluppate
Chi mi sa spiegare perché le mie bimbe dopo 20 giorni risultano ancora così piccole ? Do solo acqua del rubinetto senza regolare il ph più poco di 0.5 l al giorno... credo che sia la luce, chi e d'accordo con me ?

Are these autos stunted?
Maybe I'm just being paranoid where this is my first grow but these girls are at day 20 from sprouting and are only about 3 inches from the soil. I did pick off the first 2 sets of nodes and feed them a little bit of recharge about 3 days ago.

Slow growth of one plant out of three AK-47s
Why does one of my AK-47 plants show slow development compared to others, being transplanted into a large pot with the same nutrition? I also noticed that he drinks less than the others and there is a lot of moisture in the pot. As well as its side branches do not develop.

I’m concerned about this plants growth. I’m on week 9 and it’s pretty small compared to others I’ve seen. Is this something to worry about? Also, do you think it’s time to transplant it into a new planter. It’s wide but still kind of short. I’m thinking a Home Depot bucket to end

Development issues
first time growing this strain, never had such a small plant in a 18L pot. She smells amazing, looks fine, but way too small. Didn't really used many nutes, or spent time around her, but on the other hand the northern lights next to her is doing great. Any thoughts?
