HELP plants are growing so slow I'll be dead before flowering

valhalla88 · Nov 24, 2009

Check out my progress ...the plant is about 5" tall and has its 3's and 5's and starting its 7's but the leaves are smaller then the size of a quarter ...is this thing a dwarf? I know I planted the seed wrong with the point down but it straightened and is growing just so slooowwwwww :sad:

we seem to share a common affliction
just working some slow grow issues, how old is your plant?

racerboy71 · Nov 24, 2009

yeah, how old is it? some more details may help too... like what strain is it, what kind of lighting are you using... etc... let us know as much as you can about her....

DWR · Nov 24, 2009

give it another 3 weeks....

valhalla88 · Nov 25, 2009

It is supposedly white rhino...stoney as hell using a 400 watt hps because I was getting slow growth under floros...I kept the cool white in with the hps...my 3's and 5's are in my sevens started yesterday ...will take pics today....getting close to 30 days . If you look @ all my posts it will show the progress...also another seed cracked so I'm going to get some rockwool and I NEED a ph meter
under light 24 hrs ...when I put them under the hps they started to take off...some bad advice almost killed them but they are rebounding ...well thanks!

it is possible to slow a plant down a lot, i've got living proof
but they can come back, which sounds like this case, so keep going

Here are pics from 2 minutes ago!

Hey there...
the last few days have been nightmares...
My plant was doing okay until someone suggested I transplant and fill the soil up to the tear leaves...and I was misting which led to the single leaves to burn...so then we thought it was the soil so I rinsed the soil and put the 400 hps on it and it was growing before my eyes it was like flipping a switch the 3 and 5 leafs were both standing up and reaching for the light....
I have the light 1.75 above plant for two days no burn plus I added my cool white floro next to the plant...
running a fan and humidifier keeping humidity between 45-60 will lower thge humidity when entering flowering to produce resins and oils(did some research).so if you can help me and my plant to be the best we can ....then please add me as a friend and any advice is welcome...Just please don't kill my plant...
thanks !!!
p.s Iam researching posting and learning can I get some rep yet?lol

check the ph in your water and your soil. if the ph is off , too high or too low the plant will not grow. it will stay the same for a long time. check your ph. unless its belowe 55 f where you grow. too low a temp will stop photosynthesis.

valhalla88 · Nov 25, 2009

my temps are pictured I keep it between 70 and 82...I control temp and humidity !
You are right though I need to get a ph tester all they had @ wally world was for fish tanks....But my plant is growing nice now

Thanks I'll keep you posted! Any advice on planting my next one the seed is germinated !Do you suggest rock wool or just cubing it in soil or what ?

growone · Nov 25, 2009

so that was tea leaves? if so, i think we can cross that off the list of growing ideas
other than that, your plant looks fine, keep doing what your doing for the moment

valhalla88 · Nov 25, 2009

what are tea leaves????

i may have misread a prior post - saw 'tear leaf'? - thought it was a typo and came up with tea leaf
well, in any event, you're doing much better now, i'd say you can sprout your next seeds just the way you did this time, just omit the thing your friend recommended that caused the trouble

valhalla88 · Nov 25, 2009

oh yeah the tear leaves he told me to plant up to them...(the round ones) that in turn started f#%^%$# my two single leaves they dried crumbled and you can see whats left of them...but serious ..I need GOOD help along the way this plant is important to me and well...I know I need help lots of good stuff on here...
topping... cloning ...stuff like that ..
Hey stick around for the ride my friend...its gonna be some proper smoke!!!

i'll keep watching, i now understand what your friend told you
wasn't really bad advice, more bad timing, don't fret those small round leaves, they die after a while
the timing may have been the bad part, many will bury a plant deep on the stalk when transplanting like a tomato plant
idea is to make a bigger root ball, i'm not sure how much this helps

valhalla88 · Nov 25, 2009

helps alot good balled root growth = shooting growth...
plus I planted the seed wrong...and it had to right itself...oh well many lessons learned and the plant is alive!!!!!!
Thats the plus!

valhalla88 · Nov 27, 2009

Heres a update...plus a couple questions...1)ph strips where can I buy them quickly?I need to test the soil and water...I don't care if its strips as long as it helps !
@)are all bugs bad ? cuz there are little fast somethings.... running in my soil never see more then one...tiny &not on the plant that I've seen.
3) when this plant gets tall enough I am thinking about topping it and growing dwc or something other then soil ..I do NOT want bugs and if soil means bugs or chemicals and no bugs then I want to grow in rock!
What do you think? How does my plant look ? What are these growths between the nodes or whatever....like little leafs..... look closely...Advice and comments welcome
