Seedlings staying low, am I doing something wrong?

LeastExpectedGrowerstarted grow question 4 years ago

Are these on track or slow/low? 1st time grow, 3 auto varieties. Today is the 14th day since seeds hit the soil. They look healthy, but they're all only 1.5" to 2" tall. Do I need to raise my lights? They're currently @ 14" above the leaves with 1x225wLED & 2x 32wLED.

They may be a bit over watered. Can't really comment on light hight ad unformiliar with it. With my lights it's about 18 inch above in veg, also your going need to pot up to your final container.

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.

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?

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?

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.

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).
