They are fine get a fan blowing them around gently will build up the stem.

All looks fine. So long as your light is the correct distance you won't get lanky seedlings.

One of the two grows slow, should I replace her? I have a northern light auto and White Widow auto, dont know which is which :/
One of my girls grows very slow. (see pics). She looks healthy but like I said.. I had problem with heat, was 30 degrees daytemp the last few days. Other than that it's all fine. I spray them often and they have good lights. The other one receives the same care and grows well.

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.

Not growing
Is there a reason why I’m not getting these girls to stretch? Seems like everyone else has bigger growth at this age. Lights are at 2ft, 200w led. Or is it a bad strain? Pleaseee help.

Slow growth-Any ideas
Hi, 2 Blue Dream+1 Bruce Banner, same day germinated, sprouted, same Light Mix BioBizz soil, same conditions. The only difference: soil for 2 Blue Dream was waiting in pots 2 months in dry space before the seeds were put in. Any ideas why are so slow and how to speed up growth.

What should I do?
Hello everyone, I have a withe widow that seems not growing, in the last 4 days she looks the same and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or not 😔. It was a free seed so i thought maybe is a low quality seed. Thanks

Being an auto, what do you think the chances of the stunted baby turning around? Will it still yield ok or will it stay miniature throughout its cycle. Literally the vertical growth stopped after about an inch and it’s first leaves are tiny. The second set are just sprouting now.

Verrouillage des nutriments ? Quantité d’eau ?
Les plantes ne semblent pas aller bien. J’ai une décoloration sur les bouts des feuilles et sur certaines, les feuilles pointent vers le bas, elles ne stretchent presque pas, je pense à un Nutrient lockout, qu’en pensez-vous ? Quelle quantité d’eau devrais-je arroser à 33 jours ?

3rd week veg complete but still so small. What am I doing wrong?
What am I doing wrong here? End of week three and she's still so small. These genetics should be going into preflower based on other grows. Didn't use any nutes except first watering with Cal-mag. Just PH'd water and ffof. I want to correct before starting again. Any help?

Genetics or pot size?
Day 30. I have multiple firsts here for me, making it really fun and really odd. At day 30 I’m use to a way larger pot but in 5 gallon. Does a larger container effect early growth? These are healthy and loaded with stems ready to be buds. Or is it the genetics?

Structure question: worth growing out?
PSA: don't interfere with leggy seedlings. You'll only do more harm than good. I tampered with these as I would leggy tomatoes. The stems have broken surface end of week 4 and I'm worried they're not going to hold any late weight.. Should I just scrap this run? I have beans 😅

Slow grow?
Looking at other diaries, these seem to be going so slow. Not sure if it's not enough water, light, or ventilation being under the house

Stumpy blue dream feminized.
I’m in my first grow, have 2 plants, one is in amazing shape, the second one is very short, although looking very healthy, its half the size, the leaves are very misshapen. Do you think this plant will survive? Or is it a lost cause. They are blue dream feminized. 26 days planted
