I planted these about 3 weeks ago. i have em under a 400 watt hps. i think maybe the problem is that they were too close to the light and it was burning them/ drying out the soil. it seems like i had to water them everyday because the soil was so dry. since i took the pictures i moved them farther from the light. does anybody have any ideas? thanks

yeah thats what i suspectedj. i moved the light a little farther away and finally got one of those moisture meters, which told me that im waaaaay too stingy with the water lol. should i maintain the moisture level at about 1/2 way on the meter?
p.s. do they seem really small for being almost 4 weeks old? i have to have them done by early september so i think i need to start flowering soon, but theyre just sooo small

Damn, they're 4 weeks old in the pics you posted?

This is one of my babies which isn't a month old yet:


I'm not an expert, this is my first grow, but by the size of my plants at the moment, I'd say your's are quite small for a month old.

Perhaps it's the heat making them grow so slowly?

damn that looks nice. im not exactly sure about their age, 3 weeks being the youngest possible, 4 being the oldest possible. either way theyre puny. oh well, they seemed to come back to life today after not growing much for about a week. hopefully i can flower them soon and have some buds before i go back to college in september

Looks like it's time to make a change in that pot size.
