i use well water, always ph'd. i gave it some nutes today to see if anything happens. i will keep you updated. i do have another question though, i wanted to switch from soil to ebb n flow but was wondering if i would be using more nutes that way? i feed once or twice a week now that i am flowering but with ebb n flow it needs nutes all the time. so would i be flying through the nutes faster in hydro? price builds up lol

set of leaves 1 is at least 4 weeks old no second leaves. I started a blue dream by it self
today. I added just a little bit of nutes today,let me know what happens?

has anybody had any problems with the plant not growing? i have had this cotton candy from delicious seeds germinated for around a month now and it doesnt seem to be going anywhere. this has also happened with 3 autos that i tried growing before this one. i have grown 5 other plants (all bag seed) just fine in this same setup. i used a bad of organic soil that my wife had laying around. for the first week i kept it under 4 24w 6500k cfl's and then decided to move it under my 600 mh light to see if i can get it growing any faster and after seeing that i was just wasting electricity i moved it back under the cfl's. Lights are on 18 hours off for6. its been about 2 weeks since i have done this. the other day i fed it a tiny bit of jungle juice just to see if that would help. i repotted about a week ago to check the roots and they seem fine. so im at a lost here and looking for help to correct future problems.
thats some tight node structure you got going on in there, good job keep it up.
seriously though, i had some plants start slow and i realized i was keeping the lights too close to the seedlings trying to give them more light intensity to speed the growth. i started switching stuff around because those where the last seeds i had of that strain and didnt want to cull them. i raised the lights and a day later they started showing signs of life.

no offense but that soil looks like shit, hardly any pearlite from what i can see, and the peat moss just stays saturated for days. I had the same thing happen with a couple tomato plants i started from seed this year for my garden. they were doing EXACTLY what yours are doing, not growing, been sprouted for 3+ weeks. I removed the soil from the pot to discover very thin, stunted roots. I removed all of the soil i possibly could, even sacrificing a little bit of root mass... and then planted into my soil i use for indoor cultivation (3 parts Sunshine #4, 1 part worm castings, 1 part coco, with dolomite and rock dust mixed in)... 3 weeks later, i have beautiful plants that are showing a lot of growth and you would never know that they looked like shit and almost got tossed. you need drainage, and better soil. Oh and feminized seeds with any stress will show hermies... seen it too many times. This is why I Only buy non fem seeds now, and most everything in my garden is TGA subcool. Dankest weed in the biz...
