    Hey everyone! I germinated my seed and planted it on February 6th, its been about 5-6 weeks now and my plant is about 6 inches. I currently have two plants, one chem og and a random plant. The other plant is about 3 weeks. The chem og is in a 5 gallon pot and the random plant is in a 1 gallon pot.

    My setup:

    2 42W CFL
    1 23W CFL
    28 x 39 x 46 space
    FFOF Soil
    Fox Farm Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom fertilizers
    My problem is that a lot of people seem to have taller plants at 5 weeks. I'm not sure why my plant isn't growing as fast. Both are suppose to be Indicas, the growth seem to have stopped lately.

  2. you need to post your ph levels... it looks like the plants have problems...

    and you need to really get your lights as close as possible with CFL's....
     
  3. r u saying growth in both plants have stopped or just the random one?
     
  4. both plants have stopped growing. The only problem with putting the cfls close is even with a fan blowing the closet gets a bit hot. I keep the temperature at 80 degrees but it seems the leaves get a bit crisp if the lights are too close. Ill get an update on the ph. thanks for the comments!
     
  5. yea , keep an eye on ur ph for sure but soil is a little more forgiving than hydro. but I'm thinking maybe its time to kick up the nutes alittle, maybe their appetite is growing too ?
     
  6. you don't give a whole lot of info. BUT, they actually look pretty healthy. your prob. is prob. due to your lighting. if you want better results, you need HID lighting. with cfl's, you can get the lights fairly close w/o worrying about burning them.

    Thanks for the help. I gave the chem og some nutesso I'll keep you guys updated. Also, I placed the cfls a lot closer. how often do you guys water a week and how much?


    And growbot how much lighting would you recommend for two plants during flowering?
     
  8. I have it on a 24/0 light cycle btw, could that play a role? comment please! any tips would be appreciated
