Stunted Growth?

Adrockstarted grow question 4 years ago

Struggling with stunted growth (I think). Recently found my tap water pH was through the roof. Mixed in some leaf compost. Adding some Pete moss tomorrow. Adjusting the water now before feeding. How long do you think it may take for the additives to work? Beyond repair?

Looks fine to me. A little stretchy. But most likely because of not enough light.

Looks fine to me too but switching to R.O. water will make your life easier.

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).

Pheno 2: Doesn't bounce back, not overwatered but shows symptoms Pheno 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?

Sie ist mittlerweile über 70 Zentimeter hoch und langsam kann ich die Lampe nicht mehr höher hängen. Die Linke hingegen wächst fast garnicht mehr und sieht auch etwas traurig aus. Beide gleich alt.

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.

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.

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.

Why is one plant lagging behind the others in growth?Does anyone have any idea why my plant no. 3 is stagnating in growth? She had always the same amount of watering and conditions (except different medium) as the other two plants. Yes, she is younger, but in relation to her age she seems to be developing much more slowly.
