You're only giving it 12 hours of light a day. Of course it's going to grow slower...

Don't get too excited. At 21 days I saw little hairs and was like OMFGFOGMFOGMFOGM!@@!@!, the thing was they weren't pistils, just hairs that grow on every single marijuana plant, not sure what you call it but they're really tiny and they serve no purpose I believe.

I've seen 12/12 from seed grows where the plant at 20 days old was A LOT bigger than mine.. a lot

if it continues to not grow your roots are probally rotten and you need to start over if not it will grow just wait

man, mine was stunted for a week. im on wk 3, but i transplanted a week ago, over watered, and there in MG soil with slo release nutes. however last night i changed there lighting schedule from 24.0 to 18. 6 .... i arose this morning to find my babys have picked up the pace. :D so if its green its alive, give it time. these plants are hardy lil bastards.

Yeah, I started nutes 2 waterings ago.. first at 1/4 strength which boosted growth significantelly (or so i think). I gave it 1/2 nutes last watering, and today I'm going to give it full nutes. They told me to keep it at half strength but It seems to be doing great.. I think she is ready for a full dose.
My PH is at 6.8 with nutes in it so I will have to start keeping an eye on it. I read that a little lemon juice will do the trick (guessing A FEW DROPS per qt of water) but I'm staying away from it.. don't want the PH to fluctuate too much.. and if anything I will try to keep it at 6.8 (water from fridge, aged for some days with nutes in it).

Saw your pics man, very nice! Oh and by the way.. have a slow speed fan blowing directly on the plant and the stem is strong as hell now (for its size, obviously)

Just took a close look at the plant.. the bigger leaves seem to be pale-green color while the rest are nice and green.. not sure why but heres a pic i just snapped:

after some research, I either have a N deficiency and/or my Ph is too high.. I will lower the Ph first for the next watering and go from there. (I just watered with 6.8Ph like half hour before I looked it up :( )

Have you tested your soil? A simple soil test kit like this one will point out any of those common problems without wasting days guessing.

this is also my first grow lol, from what i notice, my plant grew it's first set of leaves fast (cohyden) then grew really slow until first se of 3 leaves. then slowly picked up speed until 5 bladed leaf, then on it started growing like 2 cm a day until i started budding, and it stopped growing for 3 or 4 days, then it got a groath spurt and grew like 4 inches higher over 3 days, now its got buds but it stopped growing because i needed weed and ripped it up, and then said "im an idiot" and reburied it, it's not dying, but it's not growing for the last 3 weeks:(

dont do what i did, and it's not gonna bud until it's ready, so put it on 18/6 so you get more buds when you do start 12/12,
use blue cfl's for veg, red for bud,
18/6/blue for atleast a month
12/12 red until buds are done

I got a soil pH tester but I dont think it works.. when I inserted the probe in the soil, I believe I ripped a few roots because i felt like a snap. If i did rip some roots.. would my baby be okay? I'm a bit worried about her because of it :(

I've pulled the plug.
I will start germing seeds now (12) and keep them all until around 1-1.5 weeks and keep the healthiest ones (2)
I will veg for 3 weeks and go to flowering after that.

Thank you all for your input and help!!
