Why are my plants growing so slowly?

My first time with Autos and last they have a tendency to grow when they want despite conditions and not when you want. on 5th week have from 30 inches to 7 probably 50% down on yield because of unevenness will be going back to good old feminsed seed, growth can be controlled, plants can be trained Autos have there good side and will improve as genetics get sorted out as did feminised.

My Grow's focus is on size. Off the bat I agree with Darkwarsongs that you've pushed your plant too hard which can stunt growth a lot more than slight under feeding. Also, if you really want to focus on size than switch to hydro. Doesn't have to be a DWC like I run, coco is fine. Hydro is where you can push your plants harder with the feed. Soil is the limiting factor of your grow and although it may have had enough light, it wasn't enough for the soil to generate enough the food for the plant to eat. If you're not doing a "living" soil you shouldn't be growing with soil. I can't say for certain but if you had just fed your plant dechlorinated tap they would probably be looking better than what they are now, that is if there is any microbes living in that soil right now. Anyways, I would switch to coco on your next grow and focus on diaries that run that medium. Any Hydro diary is the place to look you're after size.

Unfortunately this is what happens with autos once their growth is stunted they just don't seem to grow right after that. If I'm reading correctly this is your first grow and things like this happen to all of us on our first grow. I would now practice on your technique and feeding schedule and environment so your next grow goes off without a hitch. Hopefully this was helpful and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

What are you doing to those poor plants???? I'd recommend you try photo next time.. It looks like your plants are just growing past your means. The closer to "healthy" your plants stay throughout it's whole life the better it is.. Umm just light feed and call it a write off. Your plants have been neglected a bit too much.. You'll do better next time :)...
