    Possible slow growth

    Hi I have planted 2 seeds almost 4 weeks ago and it seems like their growth is possibly stunted/slowed down. They have been growing but have done research it seems like in week 3 to 4 there should be more leaves and stems. I have also purchased 6 clones about a week ago and they were about 2 weeks old and when I topped them the cut stem hasn't grown in yet. I don't know if its because of my environment, nutrients are just being impatient. My tallest plant being purple punch is about 11 inches tall that being the tallest what is a recommended light distance between the plants.

    They look like they maybe a little behind, but I bet they end up ok.
    We need more information, like is that coco or soil ?
    How often are you watering ,feeding them, and how much.,
    how high away is your lights from your plants?
    That kind of stuff.
    Pictures in natural light helps alot too,
    Good Luck

    Hi thanks for the reply. I am currently using fox farm ocean forest potting soil and fertilizer company. I just translated the plants into 5 gallon pots. I currently feed them every 5 days by putting a top layer of worm castings on the plants. I also am watering them every 3 days making sure the smaller plants gets smaller amounts and bugger plants get more water. I run the lights at a 19 hours on 5 hours off to cut down on some electricity costs. I have a carbon filter filtering air out and a fan on the inside keeping a breeze in the tent. I have my lights hanged on the topper part of the tent to maximize the light. The tent is 4x2x5. The temperature fluctuates around 72-80 and humidity from 22%-50 but I put a cup of water to up the humidity during the night. I use a 600 watt led light. I use water from the tap and I did a ph test today on my soil and the average ph is 6.0.

        Are you making teas with your worm compost ? And watering with that two.?
        I still think your gonna need to get nutrients for them, like FoxFarms trio.
        Ffof, is good for 3-4 weeks, then you need to start adding nutrients.
        Worm compost top dresses want be enough,imo.
        I use living soil, and only use molasses and water, no nutrients.
        What is the ph of your tap water?

          I spread the worm castings over the top soil and pour some water on them. Do you think its with the investment of getting a 3 part nutrient solution since Ive heard it doesn't do as much as having lights on them to grow

          Morning 8971. Yeah, you are gonna need to get nutrients, plenty of different ones out there to choose from.
          MegaCrop is a one part that's cheap and easy to use.
          You can grow plants with just wcompost, but they will do much better nutrients.
          Are you phing your water ?
