HELP WITH MY VERY FIRST GROW
Elemental

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?

Super short plant
We’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?

Too much LST?
Bloom just started. Have I done too much LST? Are the plants too small in height (approx. 10 cm)?

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? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx? Royal Critical Auto - RQS

Stunted Early Growth
Wondering why growth is stunted On a 20/4 light schedule, water every 2 days with overflow more details in grow diary. Only thing i can think of is humidity being too low (45%) and temp hitting 28 maybe 29 degrees.

Still short?
Okay, so I just checked, it's day 71... I'd expect both are through the transition. What you think about the little one? She HAS tops, but the difference is HUGE between these plants.

Auto to Small
Please help, not sure why this auto is freaking small. I know for the first two wks I gave nothing but pH water, then gave first light nutrients. I'm not sure if not raising my light soon enough possibly making it shorter/ not stretch as much. How do I correct it or do different

My plant is approaching 3.5 weeks and seems a lot bushier than other plants I'm seeing of the same age/strain. Am I worried over nothing?

Getting better yields from small plants
She's well into flower but in my opinion, she's too short for it. What can I do to make the flowering process go as well as possible considering her short 15cm stature? The side nodes are barely 5cm tall and are already flowering. With no new leaves growing it might get rough.

The plants been stunted since the third week, I checked the soil ph some time around week 4 and it was very alkaline. Could this be the reason why? It hasn't grown in height since but started flowering. How can I have my next outdoor auto grow bigger

Kein Wachstum nach 5 Tagen
Die Keimblätter seit 5 Tagen nicht sichtbar gewachsen. Wenig gegossen, seit 2 Tagen gar nicht mehr und Licht leuchtet mit ~200 PPFD auf den Sämling. Aus meinen letzten Grows weiss ich, dass geringfügiges sichtbares Größenwachstum da sein sollte. Kann ich was optimieren?

Why could this seedling be growing so slow?
Dropped 13 seeds from 5 strains. Only these gave problems. All in same conditions. One died and the other is grasping onto life. No problems with RQS before. Is is the strain that's picky? I guess I just got a bad batch? Check out the diary for all the info

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…

Slow growth
I feel like she is developing slowly compared to other plants I've seen. She is almost 2 weeks in and still only has her first pair of leaves. What am I doing wrong? Should I start feeding her already? The lamp is at 30cms as per just now, it was at 60cm so far on 25%.

What deficiency is this?
What's my plant missing? Growth has slowed down, and I think I'm seeing veinal chlorosis, see last picture in week 2 / or attached pic. I've been feeding A + B with a tiny bit of cal+mag at an EC of 0.8, now reduced to 0.6, pH around 6.
