Help 2 weeks old

[BigTrees]

I’m growing in a 2x2x4 tend my first grow. I’m growing one LSD (auto)from fastbuds. It’s been two weeks and hasn’t grown at all the temp is around 80F and the humidity is around 55%-60%. Growing in fox farm Ocean forest soil. Not sure why it’s not growing at all. Any help would be appreciated!

How big is the pot. ?
how much perlite or leca do you got in the pot ?
looka healthy but for 2 weeks it’s pretty small yes.

the pot is 3 gallon. i didn't add anymore perlite to the soil just used it straight out the bag

 

[CaptainWiese91]

I think that’s your problem then. It can’t breath. Without oxygen the roots are suffering. How many holes for drainage do you have in the pot ??
Autos need airy soil to thrive.. at least 30-40% in perlite or Leca you must have in the soil.

I have like 8 holes on the bottom of the pot. ok so i should put some holes on the side of the pot? and add more perlite?

 

[CaptainWiese91]

I have 1cm holes in the bottom and 0,4 cm holes in the sides. I only use plastic pots. But I’m also using 40 liters pots for mine.

Yes perlite is nesserary, the plant will thank you it. The roots love oxygen

To me everything looks good. Maybe she's just a slow grower and she's growing under the soil root wise? It is odd she is that small for 2wks but ya know I bet if your lighting is too low she won't stretch as much, just how far are your lights?. Otherwise I just think she's gonna take off any day now?

 

[BigTrees]

Ok how does this look now the holes are all over the pit now

 

[CaptainWiese91]

I still think it will have a hard time in soil without any perlite. Autos need airy soil.

 

[CaptainWiese91]

It Will ger more oxygen for sure. But perlite is for the drainage also.

 

[SoOrbudgal]

I see plenty of perlite CaptainWiese91

 

[SoOrbudgal]

Do you think it's been overwatered?

 

[CaptainWiese91]

I know you se plenty of perlite - good read that on the other message you wrote - but I still think it’s not enough- my opinion.
If the soil isn’t drying out, it’s to compact.

 

[BigTrees]

do you think that will be plenty of holes and perlite? also watering only in the small area till it gets bigger.
