HELP WITH MY VERY FIRST GROW
Elemental
started grow question 4y ago
I would like to know if my plants are too small or even smaller than should it be... 18 days, since they woke up from the land, in my opinion they are a little thin, short and with a few leaves. Anyone could give me some help?

Yes they are small. Water them less and give them more light. Things should pick up in the next week. cheers!

Slow Growth
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.

Is this stunted or normal?
This plant is 36 days old. Does it look behind or on track to you? I'm wondering if I stunted it or of I'm just over thinking it. I'd love to hear any feedback but especially want to know how you think the size is. Also light to weak? 54watt optic phantom

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?

Crecimiento lento
Después de pasar quiebre de tallo por tormenta, tratarla como un esqueje por 5 días, la planta está creciendo a ritmo muy lento. Que te recomiendan usar luz esterior o meterla en la carpa indoor? Aquí afuera tenemos alrededor de 16 horas de luz

Induce stretch in a short plant.
After much research, I couldn't find anything on how to properly handle a really short plant. Does anyone have a thought about this? Or how to induce extra stretch? This is for documentation and research for this particular grow situation. Please see week 5 entries. Thanks all!

Shock or Genetics?
On day 3 or 4 of this plants grow a small item dropped on her and damaged the stem. Do you think that early shock is the cause of this overall reaction or should I be blaming genetics?

Will my plants survive?
I am on week 4 of my white cookies and they have stopped growing. Very small and weak looking but still got colour. Having over watered them can they be saved? I transplanted them in dry soil and left them for a few days but no growth is happening.

Stunned Growth or just slow?
Does my Gorilla Cookies auto have stunned growth or is this okay that she grows so slowly? She probably had some nutrition burnt, maybe it slowed her a little bit..=( Pic1 — 04.11(3d day after germination) Pic2 — 14.11 (13th day)

Hi everyone, have to strains in the same box and conditions. Same nutrients and water. One seems to have some problem, leaves curl down and look light green color. Roots look healthy and white. What could be the problem and how can I fix it?

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?

Hi. Its now the 3 week, and i think they are not growing to much in height, did i have done something wrong with the light height since the beginning? Or its just normal for Auto flower, on 3 week a minimum of 5.5 cm its ok? Lack of water in the soil? Thanks

Stunted growth?
Do my plants look small for the end of week 2? Have messed around with the lights far too much, switching from MH to HPS then finally to LED because of heat problems.
