Help! First time grower questions

[Cherabliss88]

Help! First growing attempt. This plant is 16 weeks old. It has been growing so slow, not a lot of leaves. I do feed it, fox farm. ph level is at 7. I use a Haus bright light bulb. It lives among other house plants and gets at least 12 hours of light, more when it was younger. Small plants are clones. I did clip some of the bigger leaves off but it has always been sparse looking, not like pics I see of thick growth.
Questions - how to speed up growth?
Can I or should I repot into bigger pot, it is flowering, I think?
Thanks!

IF it is in soil, PH at 6.2-6.5 in veg, then in flower 6.5-6.8. You got ripped off on the light, you need a real LED or other light, something along the line of 300-400 (Watt or more) for LED.
We need pics and much more info.

BTW that watts from the wall not spoof watts.

Thanks, guess it'll just be another house plant Do you think putting in bigger pot would help it at all?

No size pot will help your plants grow bigger if you don't have enough strong lighting. Put it outside there's your cheap ass strong light.

There are some symbiotic plants like clover I will someday give a try. I also know I other folks grow near other type plants especially outside. I personally have decided to never have my cannabis anywhere near other plants. I think it adds to the possibility of pests or other problems or contaminants. We all put so much time effort and money into getting sticky nugs it is painful when it goes bad. Especially at the very end of a good grow.
Imo you need more than 12hrs during grow stage of photos or the plant thinks it is fall. I think you could save it with more and longer light

[Cherabliss88]

Thank you all! I have another light coming, going to try that. It's getting too cold at night here to take outside. Still wondering about transplanting in bigger pot, but is it too late?

You have a Houseplant

[Rwise]

When you re-pot it, bury it deeper.

[Mollisol]

Not necessarily. Do you know the sex of this plant? What light did you order? You could take a few clones if it's a female.

[Cherabliss88]

Update (if interested) Moved my plant so it can be in light/dark 12/12. Put an additional light on it.
Leaves are getting fuzzy, what is that?
Is it ok?
How is it looking?
Should I trim larger leaves off?
4 photos attached.
Any thoughts helpful, thank you.

[SoOrbudgal]

Did you transplant it to a larger pot? Yes now it's flowering. May want to put a bamboo pole in it to help support the stalk. If you plan on really trying to grow indoor weed you'll need to change what your doing i'm sure you see that by looking at other indoor growers. A slight breeze with a fan would of made the plant stronger. Don't give up

[Cherabliss88]

I did transplant to larger pot. I have a heater blowing on it because where it is at, gets cold. It's 5-6 feet away. I know, I made some mistakes. I'm not ready to give up yet, thank you!

That "fuzzy" is trichomes, and that is a good thing. Nice photos BTW.

[Cherabliss88]

Thank you!

It's a girl but I would be surprised if it didn't hermie.

It's in preflower.

You need to read the GWE website and learn some more.

[Cherabliss88]

For sure, I will, just trying to save this girl. What does hermie mean?

[Bluey]

Hermaphrodite.

[Rwise]

which means it both male and female.

You're either lucky or you got a feminized seed. Either way, next time you grow cannabis and you want to be able to enjoy the flowers it can provide I suggest you put your plant under a minimum of 18 hours of light. When the plant has grown to the size you want change the light schedule to 12 hours on/12 hours off. This will signal the plant to start flowering.

There are other techniques like topping or fimming that can increase your yields but for now stick with the basics.

[Cherabliss88]

Update - They have been getting 12/12 light and brought in another light as well. Not really growing much. First two pics plant from seed, the next two from it's clone. Time to hang it up?

[Rootsruler]

What size light did you get for the plant? What are you using for fertilizers? How long has the plant been showing flower pistils? Does the location of the plant allow total darkness on lights out? Did you transplant the plant out of the blue pot into a larger pot?

There are ways of accelerating growth using high ppfd, proper environment and proper nutrition.

Judging by your last post you are probably in week 5 going into week 6. Your plant is not growing at the rate it should. Either your light is too weak, you aren't feeding it the correct ratio of nutrients or the environment is way off. It could also be that you are exposing it to too much light in the dark period and it's not sure if it should continue flowering or reveg.

Answer the questions above and we can give you a better answer. Sadly, I don't think there is much more hope for the big sticky buds you see posted here. Usually by week 6 most of the flower composition has filled out and the ensuing weeks the flowers will fatten up and continue doing the chemical reactions it needs to produce THC/CBD and other desirable compounds.

Grow it to full maturity and smoke what you get. Learn from your experience and go on to produce the fat, sticky buds you desire.
