Salvia Divinorum stunted growth

Hey guys, my two remaining Salvia plants have been growing poorly, since i received the cuttings. New leaves hardly appear, and develop slow, and the older ones are getting yellow and dry eventually. As i poke the plant i can feel that the roots have not developed good yet. It has passed 5 months now, and they are still in the original little pots, and i dont know should i repot them. I kept them in humid environment for couple of months, i sprinkle them now at least once a day, and currently they are under a 18/6 hrs 400W MH lighting.

Thanks,

Dj

first, i don't think you got salvia there. they don't look like any of the growing plants i've ever seen/had. now if they are i would suggest transplanting straight into the ground if you can. i don't know if your area is going to be to good for that come winter. that's how i saved mine, it started to die about 2 months after i got it and i brought it to a friends house and transplanted. it took off. got alot of leaves from it till the south texas summer killed it. but that's my experience.

bigger pot or plant it outside asap
IMMEDIATELY!!!!! Salvia needs MASSIVE amounts of root-space, she hates being root-bound. If moving outside you're going to have to acclimatise to the lower humidity too, actually overall I'd recommend slowly acclimatising your salvia plants. I'm successfully growing HUGE plants outdoors in a very dry and hot climate, took me 2 years to get her used to it but she's going!

BUT... I agree those are for SURE and DEFINITELY not Salvia plants bro. I hate to tell you but you got ripped off. I've been growing both strains available and this looks ALL WRONG. I simply cannot see any similarities between what is growing there and what I know as Salvia...
