Plants very small for 4 weeks

[stonedpixie]

hey f a b, yeah i grew indoors before, however, only grew one in a pc stealth case, which the light came down and burnt the plant lol
wouldnt mind growing indoors, have a spare room, but only have a few cfl lights, and as these are regular seeds, not auto etc, havent got the different lights needed for diff spectrum's of lights etc, so thought for easiness, convenience, not needing to change light routines etc, thought it much easier to grow outdoors, also, when they grow and start smelling, as I have a baby daughter, dont like the idea of growing indoors, where she could possibly smell it etc. As long as the plants I have do grow, and hopefully are female, im not too bothered, just shame they dont get more light from sunlight

reg seeds are not they use the same spectrum for veg 6500k and 2700 k for flower u can set up
and to make it simple run lights for veg 24 hrs a day
and secure lights better so they dont come down lol

they really dont smell till flower and u can make a cheap carbon filter
i would imagine in uk u dont get lots of sun and a short growing period

 

[stonedpixie]

well at the moment, were getting rain and plenty of it, hardly any sun, which is annoying.
so do you reckon it would be ok to bring them indoors, put a couple of cfls on each, leave them on all day and night, and then in a few weeks, put them back outdoors?
how would it affect them, moving them from outdoors, to indoors, light all the time? would it not stress them?

 

[scroglodyte]

are you growing in campfire ashes??
yer soil has no perlite, its acidic, and your plants are extremely stunted.
and it doesn't drain.

 

[stonedpixie]

lol, no im growing in john innes number 2 soil, not campfire ashes haha
yeah it has no perlite in, only purely the soil, and also the nutes now
heard john innes was brilliant to grow with for cannabis, which is why i got it. those pics, it had recently been raining, like a minute before taking them, which is why it looked waterlogged, however, today they look better, now theyve drained a bit
still very stunted yeah, hopefully its because of what people have said though, because of the light that was available.

that would be fine but why not just leave them indoors?

 

[stonedpixie]

primarily for electricity costs tbh, and also for when the flowering starts, so wont have to go out and get different spectrum lights etc

cfl bulbs dont cost much and dont cost much to run

 

[stonedpixie]

i have quite a few already, but dont have the mylar etc, and only have the lights, dont have diff ones for veg and flowering

dont need the mylar use flat white paint or buy mylar emergency blackets for few dollars
if u go indoors u can grow year round

 

[stonedpixie]

indoors theres the risk of police helicopters etc though, which as i have a young baby, last thing i want is house affected by my growing lol

copters wont spot a small grow and if u growing outdoor on your property its same as being indoor actual more chance of being found by nosey people but i understand your concerns and do what u feel is right

too true ive to watch for the gay guy in my street and the old man down the road lol they are known here for calling the cops on folk for growing. i have helicopters flying over my house like 8 - 9 times a night but never had any problems with that

here in usa that kind of shit would get them fucked up for real

im debating what to do, as i obviously do want a really successful grow, but at the same time, want costs to a bare minimum. if it was indoors, would about 2 cfls over each plant, about an inch above it, help it grow? obviously, i know if i had HID lighting, etc would help it grow, but lack of money prevails lol. I have got mylar, from when i did my pc grow case, i suppose i could take it off the pc case, attach it to like a board or something to wrap round the plants, and grow that way, and have a fan blowing the while too. just if it is indoors, will have to check the different spectrum of lights, get the different lights appropriately, for vegging and flowering. I have over 100 seeds, so indoor would be great to grow all year long lol.
however, outdoors, although may be slower growing, will get better lighting, better ventilation, hopefully better yields, hmmm, what to do what to do lol

i would use 6 lights per 2 plants
$ $ $
.* *
$ $ $ kind of like that the $ are lights and the * is plants that way it is like each plant has 4 lights

 

[wheezer]

too much water, not enough light....

 

[missnu]

No you are wrong on every count. Transplanting helps the plant grow more rapidly. Because you didn't describe your lighting situation I'm going to assume you don't have enough light on them. Lots of light is very importants.

but right after a transplant you will often see a lull whilst the plant gets ready to give it a good grow shot...

 

[stonedpixie]

i think what i may do, as sort of an experiment thing, bring 2 plants indoors, grow them under cfls with 6 lights as you say, and the other 4, keep outside, see which ones grow the best
since the pics the other day, theyre def growing, still slowly, but you can tell theyre gaining height, and more importantly, stems are coming from all places, with more leaves
just hope after all this, theyre not male, that would be a disappointment lol, i know its early, but im looking closely everyday to see if there are any balls, or any wispy thingamabobs, to see if theyre male or female
one thing that is strange, that in 2 pots, ive noticed in one, a little green ball on top of the soil, on the other, a little yellow ball, and in one pot, looks like several casings of seeds, but my plants are way too young for seeds, and also, i would notice them, strange world of cannabis lol

i would assume the little balls in soil are the slow release nutes
