Slow growth after 20 days,Advice?
richgrowsstarted grow question 5 years ago
Hi 1 of my Autoflowers that was potted on 1st March 2020 only grew 2 nodes after 20 days,the rest of the same autos are now into their 4th node. Did I miss something out? it is currently on Veg fert with Ph of 6.3 and 620 PPM

Its stunted from topping as I see zero other reason for it, this happens sometimes being more risky to do it earlier than forth node.
I know photos can do this but autos you will have more consistent luck finding another training method.
Sometimes it works and thats great but others you get a dwarf or worse. Will still produce I think.
"Never stress an auto" its what I go by.
Good luck they look good other wise 😃

it seems to me that you made the topping too soon but you may also be giving too much water due. controls the weight of the pot well, tries to leave the substrate almost dry and does a light watering with growth nutrients

@richgrows Hi mate I think you may have topped it too early which can stunt the growth especially Autoflowering plants

Hi, the best is to plant an autoflower direectly after Germination Their final Pots ( filled with afluffy perfertilised Growingmedium) because if they stay to Long in Tiny Pots they may get stunteed. And Automatics hate transplants.
So we just have to wait if the Girl was damaged alittle due the time in small pots or not.
Happy growing

Why is one plant lagging behind the others in growth?Does anyone have any idea why my plant no. 3 is stagnating in growth?
She had always the same amount of watering and conditions (except different medium) as the other two plants.
Yes, she is younger, but in relation to her age she seems to be developing much more slowly.Week 3

Is my plant delayed in growth?Do you think the growth is slow for its age? It's going to its 7th week and it looks pretty small to me (I'm the gf) and this is my first grow and I'm not sure if we could have done something better to make it more bushier and bigger. Any advice?Week 6

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?

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Growing problemMy last 6 plants (different strain and ferti) grow up slowly and with less foliage. Even in pre flower the plants stretch while I do LST, then at the 2nd flowering week they drastically stop stretching, is it normal? Every strain is having the same result approx 15g for plantBuds.

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.9 months ago
