1st Grow - Day 15 and plants seem small?

[Whitty08]

BBD, might want to give backing your lights back a few inches. That will encourage the plants to stretch towards the light, but seeing as the light isn't all that far away you're not giving up stalk strength to have them stretch.

Actually, I already switched them under a 1000w MH and transplanted into 5gal pots. Lol not my issues are nutrient deficiencies, but overall fin doing a lot better.

Some are falling behind, some went too long without water, and some for a little heat stress. But oh well, learning as I go.

Ladies look great. Drastic change from the last time you put pictures up!

 

[BBD32]

Thanks... and heres how they look today.

Excellent recovery, they look lush. Plus reps BB

 

[BBD32]

Thanks... All are doing great now except one that refuses to stop stretching. No biggie though, I didn't expect them all to be worth cloning anyway.

This is my first time attempting an indoor grow and need a little input. All are 15 days old except 1 that is only 11 days old. All were started from a feminized seed.

Pro4 Soilless mix, 6.0ph, temp: 73-78, t5 ho 6500k, watering every 2-3 days, plants are kept 2"-4" from light. Mostly in 6" pots (2 in solo cups). 12 plants: 2x Northern Lights, 2x LSD, 1x Super Silver Haze, 1x Blue Cheese, 2x Super Lemon Haze, 4x Pineapple Chunk.

Plants are still between 3"-4" tall. Just seeing if this is normal. Seems like they should be taller by now. I have kept the lights on 24hrs but am considering going to 18.

A few are a little funky from the seed not falling off the leaves right away.

What do you think? Falling behind schedule?

Dont Worry About The Size Right Now!Only Thing I Would Do For Next Grow Is Start Off In Party Cups Or Cut A Water Bottle In Half.I Let My Seeds Go About 20 Days In Half Water Bottles And Were Twice The Size Because The Cup Was Small But Also Making The Roots Fight For Space And Grow Deeper And Stronger,Then Switched To 1 Gallon Pots.I Think The Reason Why Your Plants Are Small Is Because The Pots Are To Big For Seedling(PERSONAL PREFERENCE).Also Dont Water Every 2-3 Days.Your Over Watering Especially With Those Huge Pots...When I Had My Seedlings I Watered Every 1-2 Days(1st Week)2-3 Days(2nd Week) In Just Half Water Bottle Cups.Then Once I Jumped To 1 Gallon,I Watered From 3-5 Days Depending On How Much The Plants Were Drinking/Not Drinking.Also I Dont Use Nutrients For At Least Day 1(Seed)-Day 25(Seedling Into Veg).Also Am In Week 2 Of Veg And Still No Nutrients...I Would Keep The PH Level 6.3-6.7.

Also Your Light Seems Fine...Also 24/0 Is Perfect For Seedling's.Also Keep Temp 75-78*F And 42-50% RH

looking very nice Good job !

I noticed your plants are on the floor. You could use a piece of Styrofoam or a sheet of rigid insulation placed under the pots to help keep them warm n happy.

Hey folks new to the growing scene and also new to this forum so wasn't quite sure where to post but anyways started my seedling 12 days ago and are looking healthy(i think) but from yesterday mornin the inner leaves started to go yellow at the tips and now it's getting worse using a 600 dual spectrum in a 4ft by 5ft space lined with myler haven't fed any nutrients yet as was told to wait 2 weeks after plantin in pot so any one any ideas? Also hw do I upload pictures? Thanks chow

Often the tips of the leaves get burned / turn brown and die from applying to much fertilizers / nutrients.

Not sure if your tips are burned or what but it sounds like it to me , if they are well fertilized flush them with straight water , enough to get some decent water run off out the bottom

You should probably start a thread and upload some photos with some more details.
