OK so this is my first post..i hope someone here will be able to help me out because iam stumped here.
So the problem is this, i have Super Lemon Haze that iam trying to grow, i germinated the seeds, witch IMO took way to long for them to sprot...around 3 days then i planted them but they have grown to about 1 inch and have not moved anymore in over 2 weeks...iam using a soil grow with a 400w HPS on 24/7 straight water no ferts yet cause there sooo young...
I have had 3 succesful grows of bag seeds growing the same way..and no problems so why is this not working for pro seeds? any help will be greatly appreciated

your prolly over watering in a pot thats too big........ to big a pot will stay wet too long causing overwatering..... 3 days is not too long your just excited so everything is gonna seem to take forever

i would agree with tusseltussel how high is the light from the plant? and 3 days is not a long time if it was a week or so then i would be worried just keep a eye on them and if you post picture as well its easier for us to help

there probably really stunted, try giving them a few hours of darkness each day. also let your pot dry out between waterings

I may not remember this thread quite properly, but wasn't this about a seedling? You going straight to 12/12 from seed?

I hope you don't have the flowering plant on 24/7 if it's not an autoflower strain.
Three days isn't bad for germination...it can take up to two weeks.
What kind of pots do you have them in?Is there proper drainage?How often do you water? What kinda soil? What are your temps?Ph? Is there good air flow?

i have them in 4 gallon flower pots, and yes there is good drainage i water every other day/as needed the soil is a generic type from germany that ive used every time b4, (its hard to get anything special here) and yes the airflow is great, with a exhaust fan right on the lamp and a oscillating fan outside the closet blowing down for circulation, and i havnt tested the PH cause i cant get ahold of test strips here. and the plants are separated so i can close them off to the light when needed for the flowering plant

sounds like your way ahead of yourself.............. those plants need to be closer to the lightbut em up on blocks or upside down pots or something to get em up ther or you will have plenty o stem and not much bud when you flower(streeetch}blocking the light to the other plant will work but seems like a lot of trouble and easy to get a leak... think i would build a 2x2x4 veg room or at least move the plant thats flowering to a dark room for its rest than lower the light to the level of the vegers

K...well, remember to water when the soil is dry to about an inch in.Don't overwater. Tussell said get them closer to the light..I'd say yeah, but be careful not to burn them, a 400 watter is fairly powerful.Try going 18/6 with them.I noticed my plants grew faster and better with a dark period.And get a ph tester from ebay.:leaf:
