Hello all. I'm almost 4 weeks into flower and all of my plants are 21 inches+, with the exception of one. He's been 13 inches for weeks now. In fact, I'm not sure if hes grown vertically at all since I started flower. The leaves on this guy are also extremely thin and drooping downward. It's also weird because it was my biggest bushiest plant all throughout veg. I switched my lights into 12/12 when all of my plants were about a foot. Anyway, some info on my setup: Seeds - 4 feminized Nirvana Northern Lights seeds Light - 400w HPS kept at about 6 inches from tops of plants Soil - Fox Farms Ocean Forest and Light Warrior mix 3 to 1 ratio Nutes - Fox Farms 3 pack. Grow Big, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom. Started nuting at 1/4 strength. Currently nuting at 1/2 strength twice a week with waterings according to schedule. Water - 16 oz bottled water per plant 3 days a week. Water is PH adjusted. Containers - 3 gallon plastic pots Fans - 1 big bedroom fan blowing on plants and light Temps - about 70 degrees, Humidity - 35% The plants currently sitting atop a bunch of blocks so its level with the others. On a side note, I haven't done any trimming or anything of that sort during this grow (my first grow). Anyone have any idea whats wrong with this guy, if anything? Thanks in advance!
how old are all of your plants? Depending on what conditions you've been growing them under they're growth may have been stunted, making a shorter plant. Or, if the plants are young, give them some nutes and see if that helps.
U may have a case of rootbound ive had plants about that tall in a pot maybe a little bigger and stop growing or droop more than usual
Sour D is probably right. You might have a rootbound girlfriend. Try cutting back down to 1/4 nute or stop giving it for acouple days and just water it like you do, it might be OD on nutes and is stunned. Give it some natural time but if nothing changes, transplant and pick up where you left off. Good Luck!
Thanks guys. The plants are 2 months old. I'll stop nuting for awhile and transplant if that doesn't help. Have a 5 gal pot lying around anyway. Any other opinions?
Alright. I'm gonna move him into the 5 gal later and give it water only for awhile. Can anyone tell me the best way to move this thing? Not exactly sure how I should go about this. Can I use some of the existing soil or do I dump it all? Do I need to do anything if it is in fact rootbound? Thanks again.
