Slow growth? What should I do?
Day 47 from seed
Start of week 4 veg (I started veg from when it developed 7 blade fan leaf - est 2 weeks from seed)
Last watering 1 litre of water (6.2 ph, ghe micro,gro and bloom at 50% strength 2 days ago)
Slow growth due to low powered light, but decent results considering the par output.
Other factors:
- Salt build up from not watering and getting enough runoff.
- Started of feeding to early considering soil was pre loaded with nutrients which cause the ph and ppm to go out of range.
- Possibly genetic trait
As already said your light may be not strong enough or too far away however it could be as well quality of water you are using to mix your nutrients. If it’s tap water you are using check the PPM of plain water. If it’s above 200PPM switch to RO, distilled or de-ionised water. I had some issues with stunned growth on the beginning when using tap water. After changing the water plants got crazy in a good way. Hope that helps 🙌
I think your lights might be too far from the plant or not strong enough to begin with...
Also; light spectrum looks very blue...; blue light tends to decrease “internodal” space so maybe figure out if you can add an extra lightsource?
Dont think this is a deficiency tbh, the growth looks healthy!
