1.2 x 1.2 tent
600w hps (brand new)
now in 10L pots
75% coco/25% perlite
canna A+B
Ryzotonic
superthrive
PH 6.0
temp 80f
humidity 50%

I`m currently growing critical + 2.0 and they are really really slow. they will be 4 weeks on Monday and they are for too small for my liking. I wanted to flower them at week 6 but there's not much chance of the. With the same set up I used to be able to flower after 4 weeks and they were at least 12" and bushier. they've just been transplanted yesterday from 1L pots. I cant work out what I`m doing wrong, the last grow I barely got half oz a plant

Next time. Don't transplant. Plant directly to the three gallon pot. I start cracked seeds directly in two gallon pots and veg time runs about 3 weeks. Plants are 10-11" tall by that time. No transplanting.

Why arent u tuning ur ph to 5.8? They look unhappy even if u are "pinning" and I see some tip burn so calm down on the nutes.
What temps are u working?


Personally I think transplanting is a great method, I transplant 2-3 times hitting em with mytocorrizal when they fist pop n say transplantating a week before flip.

Then may I recommend female seeds. If your clones are not out running plants from seeds. Clones might not be your best option for speed.

The one of the left looks over fed, also ph to 5.8 and still no temps.



Clones will always outgrow seeds.if he cant grow a stable clone why chance a bean?
the temp is around 80 and the reason I ph to 6.0 is because not only was it recommended by the people in the past who grow but also every website Ive looked on says the same thing

I agree with slipper them plants do not look happy at atall. Even when there pinned down they should be stretching towards the light

PH 6.0 is fine.
What kind of coco are you using? Dd you rinse it? Some coco is better than others. Some isn't rinsed very well and will be loaded with salt which could potentially cause your plants to do what they're doing.

It's the expandable bricks that are re-used so they get flushed well at the end of the last grow. I used to use canna coco and I've also grown in B&Q verve but I didn't do any better with them

When your watering are you allowing a fair bit of run off? Are you letting them sit in that run off in those trays?
