SleepOnATittystarted grow question 4 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 ! 🚀
Organomananswered grow question 4 years ago
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

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.

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…

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?

Pheno 2: Doesn't bounce back, not overwatered but shows symptomsPheno 2: Symptoms as if overwatered and over-fertilized (N). First can't possibly be true, second neither. Neatly monitored dry and wet periods. PH dialed in. It still grows. Pheno 1 gets treated completely the same and does fine. Instability or damaged DNA? Any possibly to save?

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).

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?

Is my plant delayed in growth?Do you think the growth is slow for its age? It's going to its 7th week and it looks pretty small to me (I'm the gf) and this is my first grow and I'm not sure if we could have done something better to make it more bushier and bigger. Any advice?
