Oh I know what you mean eastcoast yes I'm vegging under the 1000w so yea she should def be bigger
nice plant but mine is almost 20 days almost the same height man
forsure man my girl is about 2 ft tall now she's about 5 weeks old. a combination of things could been keeping her short but with 1000watts all on one plant we should be seeing more! temp changes can really mess with her! my baby was reaching as high as 95 and as low as 65 on the same day sometimes I got it under control and growth has accelerated
Hey man, sorry for the late reply, got very drunk last night and lost track of time!
Lol sorry bro, i did mean veg not begging, mustve hit the b instead of v
Mate stunted growth can be from a number of things, res temps (should be about 22 celcius), pH if it swings wildly (ive had mad pH swings before and the plant has still grown well though), overwatering if the feeds are too big and to often (should be 15 mins every 3 hours depending on what size pump you have) and air circulation ( i have 5 fans going in mine at all times). It does sound like yours should be on the rebound now though as you've correct all of these things, you should start to see some proper growth now. Maybe even try backing off of the feeding a bit as she looks a bit droopy, it may be that the perlite isnt drying out enough in between feeds...sorry i cant be of more help mate!
Nah bro it wouldnt be the algae, more likely to be your water supply having calcium carbonate in it which likes to buffer the pH a bit higher, i know my water supply has it in it so when my nute mixture is in with the tap water, the calcium carbonate tends to buffer it out. With a full dose of silica its even worse. Im still adjusting my nutes each day but only with a few drops of pH down which is phosphoric acid anyway. Doesnt seem to be hurting my girl at all![]()
Temperature does play a part in pH but generally only in salt water where salinity is affected and calcium carbonate is harder for calcareous organisms to uptake it and utilise it for building their structure.
Looking mighty fine man!
Can't wait to see how much you get from her.
How long are you thinking of vegging for?
I see you're going through some tough times with this grow man, if I were you I would be hella stressed out that's how I get about my babies if anything goes wrong! it's a bad habit lol
If I were you I would stick to a plain soil or some kind of basic bubbleponics system, this looks like there's too much that can go wrong and it's hard to keep up with!
also hey James I figured you'd be happy to see what my closet looks like at the moment
got my new dwc bucket in there bubbling and all setup for whatever I wanna put in there
and a few other seeds
- 1 BioDiesel Mass Autoflower
- 1 Bubba Kush Regular
- 1 Obsession Feminized
- 1 Alaskan Thunderfuck Regular
I'm thinking I just wanna grow 2 of these I will pick out the best looking ones

Yea I figured it was the high pH of the water. I also added one of the soil moisture meters in the pot and it's telling me the medium it's too acidic which I'm sure is coming from the high pH of my tap water. Next flush I'm gonna have to flush her with a low pH water somewhere at 5 so I can bring the pH down in the pot. She's still doing pretty good tho getting very big. I have her tied down now 3 dominate tops the fourth is too short so it should catch up soon. I think imma start getting some RO water by the gallon from my grocery store so that should help with the pH swings. I also lowered the light back down cus she wasn't stretching for the light like I thought. Gonna try to go through this grow with this bulb but if I see growth is still progressing slowly after getting the RO water to help the pH then I know it's the bulb for sure. I almost got her dialed in but I'm satisfied that she didn't die. Will have pix up tonight when I get home from work
