Ok! First time grower and new member. Attempting to have a go at growing my own medicine. First I’d just like to ask this question and then I’ll give you the rundown on equipment, technique, what and why I’m doing.

I’m not complaining or think I have anything really serious going on, but my plants are 22 days old and only 4 inches high. There growing sideways it seems. Is this normal? They said all 3 strains that I’m growing are short predominant Indicas, but at this grow rate it seems I’ll be in Veg for about 8 weeks before I can flip the switch on these girls

I’d like to have the forums opinion and input (constructive criticism welcome) from people that do know what their doing. Most people so far have told me to just keep doing what I’m doing and here’s what I’m doing.



Growing: 2 Barney’s LSD

1 Heavyweight Goldmine

1 Heavyweight Green Ninja

Lighting: 1 900w Viparspectra Full

spectrum LED grow

light hung 18” presently 24/0



Area: 4x4x7 Grow tent

Soil: 40% FFOF w/ 40% Pro-Mix

BX / 20%Perlite



Watering: Have only been watering when

the top inch and half is dry or

the flower pots feel light. Been

using spring water that’s all been

gauged to a PH of 6.4. Usually

about 3 times a week right now.
Have added not nutrients as of yet. Just water



Inside Tent Conditions:

Have 1 Oscillating fan and a small humidifier to keep my humidity to around 55%. The light keeps my temp at a constant of 79°-81°. Any and all input welcome. Thank you all in advance. It is certainly appreciated!

They look good to me, hell of a lot better than my first grow! Another node or two of growth and I would consider topping and then LST once your new shoots start coming in. It's better to see a short bushy plant than a stretcher.

Thank you InigoMontoya. I just transplanted them today into 10 gallon smart bags. Had roots coming out the bottom of the 1 gallon flower pots just 12 days from the solo cup transplant. Thank you also for the LST tip and the tip on topping. I wasn't sure how long to wait for snipping the tops on these. I appreciate any and all help, so thanks again. Acoustic 420
