SOIL Stunted and bushy??

[Kingkrab]

Hi guys! New member and grower here.

I got 1 plant in my 3x3 tent in a cloth autopot with a 47L reservoir using ProMix M soil. It started out pretty good then just stopped growing upwards and just started to get bushy. Leaves have a weird crinkly look and seem dry like paper to the touch. Soil has lots of water in it... I used a tiny bit of BlueSky Organic Fert-Alive twice now. No other nutes at all yet.

light is an HLG 550 V2 and I’m on 18/6
Vortex 4” exhaust fan with carbon filter
Visiosun 4” intake fan with carbon filter

any idea how to juice this up a bit and make it taller??🤔

Also tent runs around 76 degrees and 52% humidity

Do you have your pots soaking in water and you water from above as well?

when you say soil has lots of water in it...is it soaking wet? Maybe root issues from being too wet.

A wide, flat canopy with 8-32 colas is what most prefer indoors. Checkout some of the articles on this site for training and general growing tips

Only water from the bottom so far. Autopot website said you won’t need water from the top and the soil seems like it’s damp when I touch it. Don’t seem overly wet...
