This is my first grow and I'm concerned she isn't as tall as other growers plants, she seems shorter stockier and just more dense overall is this something i did? this is week 6. compared to the few other growers of this type the plant is usually taller but definitely not as dens
Solved
Week 5

only compare to other soil grows using typical soil nutrients and amendments. soilless/hydro is faster. bottom line. genetics play a role, too. how much light you give can make a plant stockier -- the more intense light given the shorter the internode is (distance between 2 growth nodes). you don't want it too stretchy or too short, either. you look fine here, but you can look at it from better angles to see the internodes. i'm judging based on where the fanleaves seem to pop out from stems. When you start training and spreading out growth you need to consider all new growth, not just 1 dominant limb taking all the resources. it's not spread out, so the growth is spread out too.

When you come to doctor and he diagnose you cancer, you dont show middle finger saying " maybe its because yesterday i ate lobster " There is no such thing as genetical red leaf stems. Wrong food diet, feedeing with each watering, watering not enough thats only few things from many that you did wrong. Fact. If you really need help - upload plant with natural light done photos. That would help a lot to help you.

i am using schultz 10 - 15 - 10, i was just about to switch to 15 - 30 - 15 on my next feeding. I feed once every 1.5 days though for the 300 ppm so in one week its about 900ppm worth id guess.

I looked back at your grow and I saw that you said "Also have got my ppm meter in, my tap water is about 200 - 250 and with liquid fertilizer its 300" What nutrients are you using? I use Lotus Nutrients and my first 2 feedings are like 430ppm as seedlings, then once i see vigorous growth i bump the ppm up to 900ppm. I'm now still in the flower stretch and at like 1200ppm. Have you been feeding 300ppm all through this grow?

I already checked about the red stems, this is genetic since its every stem all the way around thats not an issue here. the leaves were like that since a baby so thats not my doing either lol. but thanks

Yes. Its something you did. No real light photos, but plantis obviously sick and small. Red leaf stems, discoloration of leaves, watering in soil every 1.5 days, all this should not happen in good soil grow.

So week 4 and 6 are only 3 days apart because i got lost in the schedule the difference is only 3 days apart for those weeks. you can see dates. ph is fine 6.1 during feedings. shes gettting about 500ml or 16.9 oz of water with feed. ( every 1.5 days roughly). other than 2 lighter leaves near the bottom of the plant i feel like color looks good but idk its my first grow. i followed the directions as per feed and only recently have been feeding her more than that, like not enough to show here.

She does seem to be stunted for week 6 and her color looks off, but plants, even though they are the same strain, can grow different, shorter, taller, etc. What was your watering schedule like? how often did you feed and how much? Do you know what the PH is?
