Hi

This is my first grow. I started to this a month maybe a little more while ago and it seems that i got strange problem which i can not solve.

At first i started with a single seedling it was growing slow i increased lights and with the beginners luck and lack of experience CFL accidentally fell on the seedling and so while i was waiting it to recover i planted one more.

Anyways now i got three seedlings, finally a decent ventilation, 42W and 23 Watt 6500k CFL's

The problem right now is i changed the soil of first plant because of root bound problem i was just planning to add soil but i noticed that soil wasnt even keeping the water it just transfers it to plate and thats why plant grew huuuuge roots.
So i showered the plant with sterile water until all the soil cleared away. i cut unnecessary roots and planted again. it grows much better now but the problem is
They are not fast i bought them from nirvana( AK-48 seed) and the first plant seems to grow without growing its like midget growth and other ones are relatively much better but still really slow for so called ak48.

I know i am doing something wrong i just cant figure it out. I fixed ventilation, temperature issues and humidity seems not bad but maybe i can increase that too

Please help and thank you so much










oh and one more thing. The bonzai-ish looking one is really growing fast compared to others i dont know why but same soil same environment but it seems like it is literally minimum 10x faster than other ones.

Thank you for your help

not sure maybe too much water. And if transplanting again ,dont cut into root system ,too much shock.

OMG! Why would you do that? How do you know you were root bound??? I kept my plants in plastic party cups for over a month, one of them was over 2 feet tall. I repotted them and they were fine. Your problem is you took them out and rinsed them with water, during which time they were exposed to light. You cut there roots, stunts them worse than stomping on them. Then repotted them without nutes. I can't find/think of the nute for it, but when you transplant plants, they have transplant shock and I wanna say Potassium helps lessen the shock. I don't do it, but then again, I don't cut my roots and F' with them either.

The reason you are having the issue is a mix of things, but it sounds like your main one is F'ing with the roots. It take a while to root bound a plant. They don't look like they are 2-3 months old. Even then, the small ones, you could get a full plant out of, it would be small, but if you transplanted even after 3months, you probably won't have any real root bound issues. Don't cut the roots, they look like they are bunched on the sides because they simply are. A strong, dens root cluster makes for a shorter, bushier plant, which is considered a good thing.

And get more lights.
