So I have a plant that is about a month old now and nowhere near the size it should be. I suspect severe heat damage (95+ degrees) and poor soil (Miracle Grow Organic Potting Mix) to be the culprits.
This is a pc case grow with 3x 27w 6500k CFL. I have since moved it to a cooler location (75-80 degrees) and I must say she is a resilient plant. She is still in the Miracle Grow soil, but I do have some Fox Farm Ocean Forest now that I could transplant her to if that would be a good idea. checked the pH of the runoff from the soil using drops and surprisingly it appeared to be fine.
I originally was going to just pull the plug on her so I took her out of the box and just put her in the window. I've also flushed the soil a couple times. After doing this she got a little taller and greener.
What is she going to do? Doesn't she need those bottom leaves? What about the cotyledons?
