One I have tried to get my way and just can't is a strain I got from a friend travelling to Canada. R2 as it is called; what I now can believe would look like a cross of northern light and super sensi star; the one I got is the short sister (r2 had two pheno; one huge tall one and one that stays short through its life) and is a surprising 60-40 indica that stays so short it's insane. Even in flo the build is already established and won't stretch more than 1 foot extra. Takes 10 days extra to start seeing bud sites but they do take off. Still though it will take 60-70 days from start of flo. Which is a bummer. This is all to say some genetics; no matter the ratio and the periods of drought given; will not bend to your will no matter what you try. I don't mind though; I'm on LEDs and would rather a short stout plant that produces what it needs to on the top.
What are some causes of slow plant growth?

It all depends on the conditions your growing in and what your feeding. Organic soil or soil with synthetics is always slower. Coco on the other hand is like hydro. If you treat it like hydro you will get faster growth. With coco always use a coco friendly or hydroponic type of nutrients. Slow growth has a lot to do with phenotypes too. Domed phenos grow faster and better than other phenos.

Would recovery from seedlings damping-off also cause slow plant growth?
side note: what are the telltale signs for seedlings bouncing off of damping-off?

It looks like it doesn't have enough food. Also looks like it needs more light and airflow. 50 watts of LED is good for seedlings which I can tell its still a seedling. Its working on developing roots. If I was you I would go with a t5 florescent fixture until it gets big enough then put it under at least 150 watts of LED. I can't do much because I don't know how your environment looks. Picture of the setup would help out and if I knew what your humidity and temps were at when the lights are on and off

Sorry I forgot to ask you what is your lighting situation

That explains the slow growth. Your conditions arnt as good as they should be. You need to build a grow environment for them or put them outside.

Yes. You're going to want to leave it outside or inside under a light. You don't want to keep moving it from 1 environment to another every day. Its stressed out.

Its stressed out. It doesn't look happy. Its green but it's not as happy as it should be.
You can build a dwc system or an aeroponic system pretty cheap. You can go on YouTube and look up videos how to build them. That plant however is in soil already so I would just leave that one.

I also have another question how long does an indoor plant take to flower
