demoralized here.....

[Weedfreak]

So, to say I've had a poor growing season would be an understatement. I thought I had some luck when seedlings I'd germinated had stuck around and didn't die. But my seven week old purple chemdawg photoperiod and three six week old autoflowers have only grown about three inches high (no lie). I realized that the indoor LED's I'd bought were TOO CLOSE. Otherwise, they look healthy. I started some other seeds today. Should I toss the ones I've had going all summer or should I continue with them and see what happens. I feel very stupid right now so feel free to pile on.

I usually like to see a little more groveling before giving advice. I need to feel the other person's pain.
Maybe it's the drugs, but I am not requiring as much.
Keep on with what you have going on. Unless the plants are in the way or infested or you want to save a few bucks on the fertilizer, there is no reason to stop. Lesson learned.
Please, keep us informed of your future failures. If you are unable to talk about it, just show pictures. We will have much more negativity to lay on you if you give us more ammunition.

Hear! Hear!

[Weedfreak]

thanks. will do

[golfnrl]

Give us some details about your grow setup and add photos if you can. Let's see what's going on.

[Bluey]

If you can keep them going I would. They have been filling your pots with roots and I have no doubt will burst forth soon.

Some of my best plants I've ever grown have been terribly slow starters.

[Franklin]

I didn't know man, too close lights would not result in stunted plants that otherwise look good. I think it's a different problem. Post photos and details.

[Rwise]

Yes we need details, and pics all in one thread.

[Rwise]

Those 2 LEDs @ 78 watts each, is that from the wall or spoof watts? My mars hydro LEDs are 328 watts each from the wall, spoof watts is 2000 each.
What are they growing in? Nutes/watering etc.? PH RH temps?

[Allenpro]

"spoof watts" that is a perfect description

what are spoof watts? From the wall? I'm not sure what that means.

[Rwise]

My LED pulls 328 Watts from the power company, it claims to make 2000 watts of light, Watts from the wall 328 and spoof watts 2000.

To answer the other questions: they're in a 60:30:10 Coco/perlite/vermiculite mix. I have a humidifier going 24/7. I'm using Advance Nutrients brand nutes formulated for coco medium. Temperatures have been between 70-80 degrees Farenheit. I water when necessary.

[Bluey]

Can you give us a link to the lights you have Weedfreak

[dirtymike]

Water when necessary? Environment is a lot of the battle when you grow indoors.

[Franklin]

you keep the humidifier on constantly? i don't think you need to do that even if you live in death valley. What's your humidity? Again, pics are worth a thousand words.

[Weedfreak]

So here they are in all their 2"-3" of glory. I present 6 and 8 months worth of effort.

[Bluey]

They are still going strong.

Is that a reflection or white stuff on the leaf?

[Weedfreak]

Humidity today is 63%.

[Franklin]

Thanks for sending. Stunted but otherwise looking healthy. When the leaves bend down like that it means it's a little too wet (or the lights are about to go off for the night). 63 percent humidity is fine but honestly even very low humidity is fine, depending on where you live I might just turn that thing off. It looks like your leaves are all wet, is your sensor calibrated or is it actually super super humid? Everything seems too wet. They've been growing for six months?? That's crazy. How warm is it in there? Also get your wattage figured out. My guesses are too much watering, too much humidity, not enough light. Maybe too cold.

[Bluey]

I think you nailed it Franklin.

[dirtymike]

Environment is the Key.

[Rootsruler]

Yep! I wonder if his tap root has even hit bottom yet.......
