Hey there,
Seems like your plant's not quite reaching for the stars yet, huh? No worries, let's figure this out together:
▫️Too Much Light
Think of your plant like a sunbather. Too much sun can leave it feeling fried and stunted. Maybe give it some shade or adjust the lights a bit. 200 to max. 500 PPFD are advisable in the vegetative phase, always increase in small steps.
▫️Wrong Light Spectrum
Different stages of growth need different kinds of light. It's like giving your plant the right outfit for the occasion. For healthy vegetative growth, you need a cooler light with a higher blue component in the spectrum, a so-called "vegging light". Light with a warmer, more reddish spectrum is used for the flowering phase.
▫️pH Levels
Imagine your plant as a picky eater—it only likes its food at a certain pH level. If that's off, it won't munch on the nutrients it needs. Grab a pH tester and make sure it's in the right range (fertilised water and drainage).
▫️Root Issues
Roots need to breathe too! If they're drowning or not getting enough air, they'll hit the brakes on growth. Make sure your soil's not too soggy and has good drainage.
▫️High Temperatures
Your plant might be sweating it out a bit too much. Cooler temps could give it the chill it needs to thrive. They currently have 27 degrees/ 78 fahrenheit right now, maybe an adjustment to 24-25 degrees might suit your plants genetics if it prefers lower temperatures
Now, about your journey with your plant—don't stress! Growing takes time, and every plant has its own pace. Enjoy the process, stay patient, and before you know it, you'll be celebrating its growth together.
Hope this helps!
