What is your soil? It might be too 'HOT' for the seedlings? I learned that with some organic soil my first grow.. changed to Fox Farms (tried all 3 of them now, my fav is Coco Loco)... and I've never had an issue since. Happy growing and Good Lucks!

Hello, yes aaahm whrere will i start...I miss alot on your Grow. It is starting in the Soil. Soil is the key for successfull growing. Saving money here is saving on the wrong place, I would recommend you to buy some soil. for a first time grower it stresses you out. I would recommend Biobizz lightmix for the seeling and the Biobizz allmix for later. so you just have to look for the other things and dont have to mind in feeding for weeks. You can concentrate in light and temperature and water thats enough to do. This is where i would start... water them well before you transplant and be very careful not to hurt the roots. ok and keep on asking here are enough skilled ppl that can help. greetings and Happy growing

Hi there ! Your soil looks like an "heavy" one , maybe it is too poor to insure a good thriving ! You can get a better soil , or use an organic nutrient to enrich your soil ! You'r under HID so maybe you should check your temps , it could slow your growth too ! Hope it will help you bro 😁

Hello! Patience is key. They all grow at different rates. It's fine to foliar feed with a spray bottle, but make sure to still hit the roots with water as that's what really counts. You can water from the top or bottom; I like to alternate. Night time temps in the 60's might also be slowing your growth a tiny bit: plants prefer 70-85* Fahrenheit. Other than that, she looks good! Best advice for a new grower is resist the urge to interfere too much--it is a weed, after all, and will grow like one if given the necessary basics. Happy growing!

Hi @Fieldys_89! We're missing some informations here, where does that substratum/soil come from? Have you been feeding this plant, with what nutrients and how often? Your diary upper info says you're applying the "12-12 from seed" method but your last week infos says 18 hours of light, what's your light schedule? Is your pH 6.0 or 0.6? At first sight, my guess is that your soil might be inappropriate for hemp. In this situation I would try to change the soil with a fresh LightMix (Plagron or Biobizz are very efficient), this is a delicate operation that might hurt the plant, but you're currently loosing potential yield, so in my opinion this risky operation worth it. Also, the distance between the HID and the plants is really high, I suggest you to decrease this distance, HID are not supposed to burn apexes and leaves start burning above 40°c /104°f, judging by your current day&night temps I think you can divide this distance by 2 and see how this goes. Hope this helps, keep us up-to-date and happy growing! 👊

All strains grow at their own pace. It’s way to early to be concerned. The smaller plant looks fine. It may catch up and grow larger than the other plant. Be patient for now. Good luck 👍

0.6 pH you sure about that? 6.0 is more belivable unless you are watering with sulfuric acid. Anyway, that soil looks like crap, get a good soil and your plants will thrive.

HI Fieldys_89. There are quite a few factors when it comes to your plants growth being slow and I'll cover a few of the basic ones below. Move your light closer to your plants. You should be able to get your 400w closer without burning your plants. A lot of people use the 'hand test'. Place your hand under your light and leave it there for 30 seconds, if it is comfortable for your hand you can most likely keep your plants at that distance, do a little experiments and try to find the sweet spot! Keep monitoring your plants to make sure the heat from the light isn't burning them. Keep humidity high in veg, Because your plants need time to get some good roots growing, the majority of their water through their leaves. You’ve got to make sure there’s plenty of moisture in the air when your plants are babies, Over/underwater is an issue. Make sure you are watering your plants enough but also letting the soil dry slightly before watering again. Roots need oxygen and they can't get it if drowned in water. Make sure you're watering until there is run off coming out the bottom of the pot. You may not be watering enough and the roots may be further down in the soil. Hopefully you fix the issue soon and your girls start to explode! Good luck with your grow, I will be following and watching!
