Hey! Had a look at your diary growdiaries.com/diaries/256893-zamnesia-seeds-granddaddy-purple-grow-journal-by-growfornow she’s off to a slower start, but nothing worrying. Cold nights around 55°F will definitely slow growth early on, so that’s likely the main thing here. Soil looks a little dense, if it’s holding a lot of water, roots might be working harder than they need to. Adding some perlite next round could help with that. Watering every 3–5 days sounds okay — just make sure the pot feels lighter before each one. Let the plant set the rhythm. She looks healthy, just cruising in cool weather. Once it warms up a bit, you’ll probably see her take off. Hope that helps, shout if you need more.

She looks beautiful and healthy, you are exactly where you are meant to be, Leaves look a little droop, certainly look to avoid temps of 55f that's going to slow everything down especially evaporation and transpiration, make sure your air game is on point with such little evapotranspiration happening water will easily stagnate indoors. Looming good so far, jist try warm her up a little and make sure rh is not getting too high especially at night. Try to look to get water flowing more efficiently. Best of luck with the garden.

Watch the info as so much is wrong.That wanted full dose feed after day 20.Feed your plants 30% dose as soon as you see the first true leaves around days 7-10 then up to half after 2wks then full dose by wk3.If its an auto you do want to worry about slow growth as youyr time is very limited to get some size on it.

You’re definitely over watering. You need to let the soil get super dry b4 watering again it could take as much as 10 days or so between watering you will see the soil get dry and eventually the plant will start to thrive again and perk up it will do this for a couple days when it stops perking up as much in the late afternoon then the plant is ready to be watered again. Also keeping the temp around 75 and 77 durring the day and 68 to 70 at night also keeping the rh at a good zone this will help the plant grow aswell. Don’t worry about how slow the plant is growing eventually it will take off. If you have not started with nutrients yet then I’d suggest starting with a low dose of a veg stage type of nutrient

Not the fastest growth by any means and looks a bit droopy. Could be any number of factors that can result in slower growth rates. Cold nights will definitely slow it down. Anything under 68F impacts biological process at least a little bit and more so the further it drops. This is why you get fall colors in the leaves outside, too. The soil is hard to see but looks like it's got very little perlite or similar. If it's a soil/sphagnum peat moss base with high water capacity, you want about a 1:1 ratio with perlite or vermiculite. This provides the optimal gas:water mixture in substrate as well as a fluffier substrate that allows for more optimal root growth. soil nutes.. the type that require microbes to break things down to be plant available generally result in slower growth rates. switching to a soilless method would have immediate and noticeable improvements to growth rate with little to no learning curve... watering habits.. sounds like you are choosing what to do whimsically or what 'feels' right. Don't do that. The plant dictates proper amount of time between and when to re-irrigate. 1) water entirety (10% runoff if soilless, minimal runoff for soil to ensure fully saturated) 2) wait for approriate dryback -- 1" deep dries in a high water capacity soil is a good trigger. Can also use loss of weight from pot. the dry back should trigger re-irrigation and nothing else. Something like coco you re-irrigate a bit sooner because it holds about 2/3rds the water per volume than a typical soil. 1" deep drying in coco might cause wilting... avoid wilt, obviously. as long as the spacing between nodes isn't unusually tight, it's probably not stunted by too much light. if it's been consitently cold, that's probably why... but there are figuratively 100s of possibilities.

Iv experienced cool temps slowing growth down a number of times.They're a lot more sensitive to it whenthey';re young..Get the pot off the floor.If its on a cold floor put a couple of layers of cardboard under it.
