5 plants, 3 weeks old - They were on 24/0 lighting under 52W HO T5 + 3 26W CFLs all 6500k for the first two weeks. A week ago I hooked up my timer and switched them to 20/4.
Yesterday I added 3 more 26W CFLs, 2700k. I also repotted them into 5 (I think) gal. containers because I noticed some roots showing through the drain holes of their old pots. (I've read that this might indicate they were somewhat rootbound before the transplant? )
The pots they came out of were all different sizes, so some of them had been further away from the light or closer to the light before the repot. T5 hangs 1 inch above tops of all the plants now and each plant has at least one 2700k and one 6500k CFL 1-2 inches away.
So there's the backstory and here comes the real question...
Checked on the family this morning and there doesn't seem to be any noticeable new growth on any of them!
I can't help but be worried because they'd been growing fast enough for me to see, literally, since they sprouted.
Do they just need some time to get adjusted to their new homes, or what? Are they confused about the change in lighting? Does adding the 2700k bulbs somehow slow down vegetative growth?
Am I freaking out for no reason? Is that too many questions?!
