Looking small for 3 weeks into flower?

[Username85]

First indoor grow here and it's been a learning experience from the start. I'd like to get some feedback and see if my plant is on point or small for this stage.
First pistils appeared June 2nd, exactly 3 weeks from today, 12/12 schedule was flipped May 19th.
Using Fox Farm Buds & Bloom (appx 12 ml per gallon) & Cal/Mag (appx 2.5ml per gallon).
Humidity is between 45-55, but temp has reached around 90° for a few days (new ventilation fan added, now leaving temp around 80°).
Tested ppm from my runoff and I think the reading is appropriate, but not certain.
Plant is grown from a bag seed and I'm not certain if it's just a long flower period for her, or if I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks for any help here

Lack of light is my first guess. What lights are you running?

 

[Bukvičák]

Light and genetics are the issues...

600 watt LED, but I doubt it's a quality light...might have to invest in a better light

It look like a Sativa dom, so it seems too be ok.
What are u growing in?

Coco/perlite-feeding now about 4 times a day, 32oz each feeding

Only feed every 3rd watering & definitely not 4 times a day.
Water until runoff, which should last for at least 3 days.
Then feed on the 3rd day.
Your going too build up too much salt & nutes in your mix otherwise.
Take it easy man, don't overdo it

An underfed plant will produce more than an over fed plant.

Be more specific please...

Really? Everything I've read said to feed 3-5 per day, while in flower, and to never use plain water. Still trying to pin down a steady routine here, but I'll cut the watering and see if that helps. Thank you for the info

It’s just overfed/underlit

Do you grow in coco?
You never use plain water in coco and you feed daily to substantial run off.
Feeding to run off replenishes the nutes, pulls in fresh oxygen to the roots, and prevents salt build up.

I don’t run coco like that.....I do use plain water and want minimal runoff.

Your problem is crappy light......your 600w led is probably only 125 watts or less.
Stretched spindly plants is a direct result of poor lighting.

Yeah I jumped the gun with the light before doing proper research.

yeah I bought a cheapo light, learned the hard way. Any experience with a LEDtonic Z5? Thinking of upgrading to that one. Otherwise, the 3-5 feedings daily with nutes is recommended for coco? Everything I've heard/read all said that

All previous comments should cover it, I just wanted to add that they didnt show pistils for the first few weeks while it was still maturing. If it vegged longer it would have begun flowering faster.

I see no issues for a newbie except the usual stuff i.w. more light would help. I strongly reco listening to experienced growers on how to properly water and feed! Its the key.

It's not necessary to feed 3-5 times daily unless you're in very small pots. I grow in 2.5 gal. air pots and I feed once a day in veg and twice a day in flower.

Yea, I've grown in coco.
Nutes will combine with the coco & build up.
You NEVER feed a plant everyday, it's not needed

I'm sure you're a great grower......although you did say you've "grown in coco".......meaning you don't anymore.
You admitted in an earlier post that your run off is minimal..........that will definitely cause salt build up.
I prefer to follow the experts' advice.......www.cocoforcannabis.com.
I've never had salt build up in coco in over 25 years........and I feed every day.
Coco is drain to waste hydroponics.........like all hydroponics it should be fed and have nutrients available at all times.......unlike soil.
Good luck to you.
