plant growing super slow

Discussion in 'Do It Yourself' started by thegreenstoner, Aug 14, 2010.

  1. i made a stealth pc growbox about a month ago or so, i never keep track of the time i plant stuff. i have next to 0 income i dont have a car at the moment. So i took an old tower and stripped it down to the box, lined it with tin foil, and foir the lighting i had to use an aquarium light which stretches the whole length of the case. ive been moving the plant from outside in the sun for about 6-8 hours then i move it back into the case with the light on for a couple of hours after that i just keep it in the case for 10-13 hours its been growing for about a month and it has only grown about 5 inches give or take is this normal? (the leaves are nice and green with potting soil from wall world i think. please help:smoke:
     
  2. some pics would help?

    Brother I'll be straight with you, I'm a ghetto grower who specialises in low budget growing and I am suprised you got 5 inches in a month using an aquarium cfl. What neuts are you using? what can ya tell me about the dirt? have you started feeding yet? How's airflow? How's temps?
     
  3. Man, that's a bummer!
    The sick plants forum would be better than the DIY forum. 5" in a month sounds slow indeed.

    We need:
    Type of strain ur growing

    Pictures if possible

    Medium you are growing in

    Nutrient feeding schedule-- brand and amounts/frequency

    Temperatures of your box

    What kind of aquarium light? Wattage, and look for a kelvin rating (2500K or 5500K, something along those lines)


    As much information is needed as possible to help determine what the deal is. And the sick plants forum has much more knowledgeable peeps for sickness and slow growth than the DIY forum.
