I have 2 plant that are about 3 weeks old. I also have two other plants that are 8 days old. I do not know the strain, I just picked them from a good bag of bud. Here is the problem. My plants have grown really slow th whole process. They are only a couple of inches tall and the only thing that seems to change is how yellow they get. Heres what I know..
- The room is about 6 Cubic feet
- I am using 2 EconuLux cool white 20w fluros: 1200 lumens, 4100k (with a homemade foil hood), 1 Grow Lux 20W bulb, and 1 15W aquarium bulb.
- The plants sit about 1 3/4" - 2 1/2" from the light
- I use room temp tap water that has sat for at least 24 hours with a ph around 7.2
- The temperature in the box is from 78-88 degrees.
- The humidity is always around 40-45%
- I use miracle grow time release potting mix (.21-.07.-14)
- I have an exhaust fan that I turn on with a timer every 4 hours for 20 mins
The plants started out great, but quickly lost momentum. The all of the leaves just seemed like they were trying to come out of the center at once, no lateral or vertical growth of the stem. The plant barely moved for about 3 days, but they looked healthy. Then for about 2 days growing commenced only to be stopped again. This time the leaves were starting to turn yellow. I tried to cut the first small set of leaves off with plant #2 because it seemed as it was doing the worse... I think it is probably the soil I am using, I would geuss it is giving off too much food for the plants to handle. I am at a loss... im pretty sure these plants are gonners, but i dont want it to happen again. Any advice appreciated
