Why is my plant growing slow on 12/12 schedule? i am flowering now. I just found out my bigger plant is a Female. I am using 2 42watt CFL and 2 24 watt CFL's, they have a fan on them aswell but not directly just enough to circulate air. for my potting soil i am using Miracle Grow Seed Starting enriched with miracle grow plant food. Please help me, any suggestions on how to make my plant bloom faster? its taking awhile.


p.s. I was recently out of town and lights hit the leafs thats why they are burnt.

Well if your flowering what spectrum are the bulbs? 2700k? 6500K? What are the temps in your grow area? How long have you been growing this plant? How many days on a 12/12 schedule? Things Like this we kinda need to know in order to have any idea of what might be going wrong or if anything is wrong..

They are all 2700k spectrum. temps bout 75-80 now with humidity at about 45. i didnt really keep track i was just growing them for fun and then decided to take it serious so id say they have been growing for like a 2 1/2 months maybe? and 12/12 schedule for maybe almost 2 months.

My plants are 6 days into flowering and already they have hairs shooting...are you sure they are getting at least 12 hrs of complete darkness? Light leaks can really mess things up.

Those lights should only be a few inches away from the plant. Do you have air movement? I wouldnt flower those. they just look to stretched and immature. Thats just me tho

yeah ph is pretty important.. i never checked ph in my grows..but i lucked out.. you should consider buying some new soil..MG is garbage.. i remember transplanting one of my old plants from MG to Foxfarm and i saw huge results.. it really is amazing soil. just an opinion
