I threw some seeds left over from a bag. they seem to be growing very slowly comparatively to what I've read about others. I've been consistantly modifying my setup to make it proper. I think I have my box finally complete. but besides that these plants have been growing for about 35 days and only one seems to be doing well. sure the other ones seem to grow leaves daily they just seem blah.
any suggestions would be appreciated.

How often are you testing pH/ppm/EC/TDS?
just started
