Please help, first time grower and my girl seems to be growing far too slow. She’s alive and I notice a slight difference everyday but compared to everything else I’ve seen she is about 10% of the size she should be. 4 weeks since sprouting photos attached. Thanks in advance xo

Ok wont go into the light , I have my biases concerning the Burple leds that may not reflect reality 😉 As for the nuets, your plant is starving. There is enough to keep it going but not enough to grow. The whole living soil not needing nuets thing is well... difficult. Even cannabis needs to eat 👍 So get some organic nuets and feed that poor thing

Thanks for the replies everyone! Really appreciate it. What type of light are you using? Light is a 600w LED What medium did you plant your seed in? Soil is a full organic soil What size container? Pot is 20L, I planted directly in here as a lot of info I saw said that auto flowers don’t like being transplanted. Are you feeding anything? What and how much? Not nutes, just quality water Lighting schedule? 18-6 How far away is the lighting? Light is 45cm from the top of the plant, is this too close? Temperature in your grow area? Sits consistently around 25 degrees Celsius. Any tips are greatly appreciated 🤓🌿

Keeping light close to the plant, induces tight internodes, especially with indicas. If you are feeding any external nutes and have quality soil, stop! That soil is good for about 30 days.....at least. When you think it is time to water, check the soil dryness by sticking finger in soil, down to 2nd knuckle. If soil is dry or cool but not damp/moist, you can add water (distilled or purified drinking) then, enough to run out the bottom or pot. -> Trying not to be condescending here. This helps flush things (accumulated nutes, etc.) out, on an ongoing basis. If you are not using "fabric pots" (GEO POT), then you have to guess more on watering and may have root bound (drowning) issues.

Your light is too low/close and it looks like she got to much Nitrogen.

Without knowing anything about your setup, it’s difficult to tell what is going on... especially with the blurple lighting. It’s best to take pictures without the led lights on to get true color of the plants. What type of light are you using? What medium did you plant your seed in? What size container? Are you feeding anything? What and how much? Lighting schedule? How far away is the lighting? Temperature in your grow area? All of these things matter when it comes to plant propagation and any one of them could be the reason your plant isn’t growing like you want. Best wishes! 👩‍🌾🏼
