Help: small White Widow

[ganjaman719103]

Okay so basically i’m on day 44 on my white widow grow and it is looking like this it’s very small probably about 3 ish inches which is obviously concerning. It’s ok 18/6 hours of light it’s getting the right nutrients at the right times, can anyone help

Hey Ganjaman,

Cute chick, day 44 huh? In order to help we need more info.

What’s your grow media? What nutes are you using? Do you use cal-mag? Are adjusting ph? To what value?

You said she’s getting the right nutes at the right time… what does your feed / water routine look like?

Looks like Coco.
Needs water and 1/4 dose nutrients daily and I am just going to guess and say more light.

If it is coco, I don't see any perlite. Dense medium limits root growth. Could just be a runt. More data?

yh it’s just coco but what would u think is better getting new seeds or seeing how it goes?

ok cool but how many days in between water sessions?

coco is inert, there’s nothing in coco to sustain a plant. Coco should not be allowed to dry out & you should always feed meaning avoid giving plain water… if you do flush then go right back in with a feed session

is this WW a photoperiod or auto-flower?

@Bill284 will drop in soon hopefully

i always feed within 4/5 days typically when it’s dry 2 3 inches down so it never really drys up just the top, but it’s a photoperiod.

 

[ganjaman719103]

also don’t remember the last time it grew in height and the leafs have stopped growing in size apart from the new leafs growing and in the middle of that there’s just 2 little lines sticking up

 

[Nunyabiz]

Never allow coco to dry up, not even the top 3".
Water it everyday with low dose nutrients made for coco.
The only medium you allow to mostly dry is DIRT, or a heavy medium that doesn't drain properly especially if its in plastic pots.
Coco and good LOS should always be moist, never dry.

You have to feed Coco every day. Twice a day if you can swing it is even better. Every time you feed you also push oxygen to the roots. I have to agree with Nunyabiz. I'm guessing your feeding is the reason for slow growth. But that doesn't look like much light either.

okay thanks but it’s getting a bit 2 much light because the tips are burning so iv moved the light higher to see if that stops it but i’ll try watering everyday

Got any pics of the leaf tips ? Burnt tips usually mean the nutes are a little too strong. I personally try to get just a slight leaf tip burn. I know I'm maxing the plant out that way. If the light was too close leaves tend to turn sideways, flip upside down, curl down or taco. I would think you'd see light bleaching (yellowing) on the upper leaves too.

yh so not the best pictures but there the others were about 2 days old i just couldn’t take a picture of them but u can see the curling and the yellow tips. But also in the middle of the new leafs there’s like 2 little lines sticking out in the middle are they stems or more leafs?

Right above each leaf a node will form & a branch will grow out of it. I think that's what you are seeing.
The tips of those leaves look like they may have been touching the soil at some point or got nutes on them.
The color of the leaves is just a little on the light green side (not bad though) suggesting you can feed a little stronger nutes.

Whenever you see your plants turning a lighter green or starting to yellow slightly you know it's time to up your nutes.

okay so ur saying it’s doing okay? and i think i got nutes on the when watering tbh, but u think i should just water it more with more nutes and it will be fine

Yep.

life saver

Yep

Make sure you pH to 5.8. There's no buffers in Coco to adjust the pH for you like there is in soil.
