not 10-20x bigger AT ALL...but yeah it is stunted some how check ph of soil (mix into enough water so some water floats above soil you added and use ph tester) and also see if you have some fungus gnats which = larvae which = chomp chomp on roots....i had issues with my last grow started from seed took FOREVER but i think i figured it out it was shitty ass soil and fungus gnats......and possibly watering too much.....i wish there was some more solid reasons why a plant would grow slow....my clones are growin sorta slow right now but had a damn gnat problem again but thats about taken care of ty to mosquito dunks....i know its not soil as i have another bagseed plant in same soil(tester plant) and its growing great at a nice speed nearly 4 weeks old just not as big as it should be cuz i took 2 clones from it (after topping it once which stops the center shoot from growing i just learned)and by this i mean basicly topping then let the 2 shoots grow out from the main stem you cut those off nomore grow in its place......which is great for sativas...maybe slow growth is caused by using soil with too much forrest compost content is my only guess...and nynexx i got the same planter your using but its a small DWC bucket hehe

It does look stunted but seems otherwise healthy. The nodes are quite tight so I think Nynexx is on the right track. Keep in mind, only 1x 42w CFL is being used here. I reckon the light is fairly close to the plant.


Nynexx, not sure if you're looking for advice or just keeping a grow journal but either way it's always helpful to the reader to know your grow environment. Could you post some details about your grow space? temps, how the the light(s) are to the plant, etc?


Cheers, and happy growin!

looking good. Just a few question for you.
1. How Far are you lights from your plant top? 1-3 inches is best.
2. What type of Fans or Ventilation do you have in there. 85 is a bit high. 75-80 is perfect.
3. What are you using for soil?

but so far so good. Its Looking Healthy. Now when you get to the 6th internode or 6th set of true leaves turn your lights to 12/12 to get the sex unless thats a feminized seed. Dont want that to grow like a monster then find out its a male. But i got a seat pulled up!

if I move the lights low, they wont grow any taller.. the right side is short and fat because of that! I want it to stretch

unlike HPS lamps, the CFLs have a low penetration range (few cm) so it is advisable to keep nearest to the plant ... + light = + buds.
my 2 cents man.
good growing man
