well tomarrow it will be finally one month old ive been growing her since she was a baby under 2 48in. flouresents with stay green potting soil well the ph of the soil reads 8 or so its not truly acurite cause im using one of those cheap 10 dollar moist light on ph meters from lowes well any way for the nutes i am using earth juice grow and the micoblast. giving it the lowest i can since i started using it 2 or 3 week ago. the temp in the room is always 80 to 70 deg. with the humidity at 40. hmm what else can i tell you oh and i water it about once a week since theres not much heat in the room so it stays moistend and i water it with the ph of 6.5 with my liquid ph tester die. oh and the strain i unknown bag seed lol well anyways for the last oh 3 days its hasnt even grown the branches have a little but not alot its sitting at 1 foot 8 inches....the leaves seem to be alright there not drooping or anything....i just dont know what the bitch's deal is any sugestions oh and one more thing i moisten its leaves about everyother day with a lil microblast and liquid seaweed :-?

It looks like it's almost touching that light, try to move the light up a little bit. Your problem is probably due to high pH level, being to high can stunt its growth.

your prblem is due from not enuff light. what watt t12s are those? 32 or 40? anyways you will need more light like a whole shitload of t12s like 400 watts or more

i think part is lack of light intensity in general... the light is spread out over 4 feet and not concentrated over the plant itself.. so its not getting enough light to have good solid growth... second is the ph level.. some nutes and mico nutes get locked out if ph is to high or to low... i would try getting a couple CFLs to supplement the lighting and see if that helps... its more likely the light since other than the fact its short and streched it looks pretty damn healthy

dude those lghts can touch your plants and not burn them and thatsw/o a fan get them to under an inch fromthe top and buy many more of them or some cfls.

i have used t12s and cfls my first grow and got a decent yeild but i trained the plants to grow on a sideways slant and kept the t12 tube light and the cfl righ on them

it hasnt bushed out because it doesnt have enough light to bush out.. floros dont put of the lumens or intensity to grow big plants.. they are best for cloning and seedlings... put the other floros you have over them and get some higher wattage CFLs...

your biggest problem i think is the ph its to high and those little ph meters from lowes is plenty accurate for what were doing.get your ph down to 6.o or as close as possible. now go get some 42 watt cfls they shine as bright as a normal 150 bulb. walmart sells reflectors with socket for like six bucks get you atleast six of them. use these and all u got i u can and i promise you will be happy. also from my exsperience get a small fan to blow directly across the plants it helps with the inner growth and stem. this pic is my current grow.

use a combo of t12s for the top canopy and cfls for side lighting.
