Dark small leaves. Stopped growth
handamanstarted grow question 3 years ago
I've got problem with one of my plants (out of five). It's bit smaller than others. It's been going on for two weeks I'd say. Leaves are much smaller and darker than on other plants. Some of them clawing. New ones are not really growing. I'm watering when soil is soft.

Browsed through your diary...my conclusion is hydric stress, meaning in this case your substrate does not drain well (no perlite like you said). What you could do is to carefully drill holes on the side walls. Try on 2 of them first, the worst looking ones. Rise a little the temp if possible to increase perspiration . Do you have a working fan in there ? Stop watering until substrate is visibly dry or the roots will rot and plants will dry. Next time You´ll know and put drainage on the must list :-) ! The other thing You could do is add 10 medium sized earthworms per pot( considering its volume), they will increase to some extent the drainage, wich is better then nothing. If no visible changes in a week, add another 10. Hope this helps. Spirit Up !

Thanks. Both of you
I have working fan. Temperatures increased when I put there 400W HPS to 26 celsius. Since then substrate is drying lot faster (takes 3/4 days). Actually on this one affected plant it's drying out bit faster. Others are still wet when this one is dry. Also drainage is better (I mean when I put there liter of water I can see 10% draining. With others I can see no water draining at all.
I'll try to drill holes to all of them as I think it can't really hurt even on healthy looking plants. Interesting tip with earthworms. I'll try to get some but something tells me they will all die when I'll water with fertilizer.
What confuses me is that other plants don't have same problem only this one. Substrate is pretty much same. They are from very same clones. I don't remember if I did something special with this one but I can't recall. They are being watered at same time with same amount. Only the fact that substrate dries faster and water drains more is different to my thinking.

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.

Why is my plant so small? How can I promote growth?Hey my plant was germinated in a diy hydro -ponic germination dome, and usually the dome performs good but this time there was a lack of air in the water. This resulted in a oddly small plant, Any solutions to promote growth or something? I have transplanted to dirt for 1.5 week.

Super short plantWe’re trying our first grow with no nutrients and we’re a little over half way through the grow cycle for the Cream Caramel. The average size is 40cm but ours is still sitting at 9cm. There’s a lot of flowering action but it’s still not gaining any height. What could be wrong?

PREFLOWER or PARANOID!?!?!?As this is my first grow i just want to get other opinions and be more confident but i believe that this plant is starting to preflower... correct? Plants are at day 23 from seed but seem to be stunted from what i think was high light intensity during the first few days of life.

Stunted or Impatient?Feels like the plant hasn't done anything in 2 weeks while this is only day 18 after sprouting from medium.
Leaves always droopy no matter if I give a lot of water or too little.
Leaves feel like paper, but giving more water doesn't change anything.
Stunted or am I impatient?Week 3

Small problematic seedlingSo this rqs Lemon seed during germination came out with the leaves first, so I removed the seed shell to uncover the roots, because I didn’t know if planting it anyway would’ve been good. Now it’s been 20 days and it’s still so small. Will it make it?

Leaves tips look burnedAny suggestion of how could make her look healthier? Tips look burnt and leave color is not great. Also my plant is very short, 25cm. I didn't feed her any nutrients so far, only water pH6.5. The soil (atami kilomix) was heavy fertilized with bat guano. Is she needing something?

Dwarfism?Hi everyone,I suspect my mandarine auto is soffering of dwarfism due to the lack of light as is an outdoor and unfortunately that is all the light I can give her.
Do you guys think I will have some more stretching out of her before flowering or it's going to be a fail?
