Should I be worried about the slow growth of my seedling?

GreenFingeredLTstarted grow question 4 years ago

I'm not giving her too much water at the moment, she's definitely growing and I'm conscious it's only been 3 days since she was put under grow lights but thought by now we would have had more growth

I think that growth is normal for such a early stage. In future i strongly recommend starting in a small pot and then proceeding to a larger one once it has rooted out. Be careful with the watering as it’s such a small plant and can be over watered easily. You can always add more but can’t take away. Hope this helps👍

Got the reassurance i needed, I read that Autos don't like transplanting at all which is why she's in the larger pot from the beginning hopefully we'll see some real growth soon!

Hello. After 30 years of growing, I've found my first twin. Can they be separated? Have you heard of it being done or have you done it or should I just cut the weaker stem out? What other advice can you give on this matter. Chuck.

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake. After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened? Photo at 5 weeks.

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…

Dark leaves and short/compact plant 18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.

Semilla auto DOBLE!!!Una semilla auto me está saliendo doble. Primero vi como salieron 2 raices paralelas, y ahora crecen 2 tallos independientes. Ya he separado un poco los tallos que estaban un poco enredados. ¿Debería intentar separar ambos tallos por completo e intentar transplantar uno o no?

Blooming in week 3-4 The plant has 4 weeks from seedling 🌱 and it's already blooming. Why so early? Could it be nitrogen toxicity? What would you do increase the yield? I won't trash her, since the yield is not the primary goal.

Mould on seedling This seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?

Seedling leaves turning white, no true leaves Why have my seedling leaves turned white? One of them sprouted 3 days ago and it’s first true leaves haven’t sprouted yet? I am growing in coco and perlite and watering with water and rhizotonic? Is it because I haven’t let the soil dry out and I’m watering it everyday?

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).
