SleepOnATittystarted grow question 3 years ago
My plans are 7 weeks old but aren't growing fast, what am I doing wrong? They're green and aren't wilting, stretching or yellowing, I'm confused.

hey there Sleeponatitty, hope you're well rested lmfao . Sorry to say but i gotta disagree with the folks here. Growth rate is determine by VPD which is the relationship between humidity and temperature. Right now you're at 25% and 29C, you should be around 65% and 24-25C . If you lower your temps and raise the humidity the plants will suddenly explode with new growth. This you can do perhaps by adding an evaporative cooler which should equalize the temps and humidity to around 25C and 50% . If you cant add this, then try spraying the plants with water up to six times a day by hand, but careful for little droplets that can lead to light burn from magnification effects. Hope this helps ! 🚀

Without beating around the bush, these are the basic factors that are affecting your plants.
Started in small cups that are much too small.
Clear cups are no good, roots need complete darkness for proper growth.
Left in small cups too long, stunting growth.
Transplanted into pots that are way too small.
Photoperiod plants need 20 litre/5 gallon pots at a minimum for proper growth.
Hope this helps,.......

The plant is struggling to grow because of two things I found out after reading your diary, it's either from the pot being so small that it doesn't have room to grow, or it could also be that the plant needs some food, I didn't see any listed if you are giving it nutrients.

try changing it to a bigger pot, if your growing autoflower 15L will do (works well for me) if your growing photoperiodic strains i prefer 25/30 L Pots

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?

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 plant18 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.

Blätter gucken aus Samen ohne Stamm?Ich habe 3 Purple Punch Samen gekauft. Eine hat eine es nicht geschafft nach 9 Tagen die Wurzeln aus dem Samen hinaus wachsen zu lassen. Aber diese hat bereits die zwei runden Blätter entwickelt ohne Stamm. Liegt das an der Qualität des Samens oder habe ich etwas nicht beachtet?

Stunted plant - Leaves are blotchy and wrinkly - Problem identificationMy stunted plant is recovering i guess, looking better than a week ago and is growing bigger slowly, but the problem has to be identified so i don't make that mistake again. The leaves look as stated, light burn looks alike but i'm not sure since the other 3 had the same distance

One of my girls is a little stunted - what's wrong? (Wedding Cake Barney's Farm - feminized)So as you can see one of my girls is looking a little stunted, and the leaves are kinda flakey. It's still making progress but way slower than the other 3, they are growing just fine. PH is alright, i didn't use too much nutrients, i think maybe i could have over watered it a bit

How can I make a plant fit in a smaller space.Looking for a second, third, forth and so on opinion. One of the plants in this diary is in the tent with a huge Zkittlez Auto. It's really squished in there. Overlapping branches and leaves. How to make it fit? Thanks! Snip outer leaves? Remove tie downs? Let it ride? Thanks!

Is the structure of the plant at this stage affected by a stunt when they are in the seedling stage? I am curious to know if my plants seem too small or if they are average size - I chose not to defoliate due to them being so short - would appreciate any input here! ThanksWeek 13

What should I do with the small one ? Is it worth keeping it ? I just flipped to 12/12One plant is smaller and is so slow compared with the others I had to elevate its pot a bit and it's still not really catching up, I don't see why and there are no deficiencies. Should I dump it so there's more place for the others ? They are 6 in my small room
