i think that that plant is stunted, and there isnt much you can do with it..... at 55 days a plant should be 2.5-3.5 FEET tall.....

Stop watering it everyday. ONLY water it when its super dry...
Stop trimming it. it doesnt need it.

i would flower it now just to get it out of teh way.... next time follow peoples advice and you plant wont be a runt.

growing marijuana isnt growing tulips.

thats another factor to why its so small
Click to expand...
no, it isn't. Light is Light, as long as there is enough of it (around 80 watts for a small plant).

there is a lack of light, but not much. i can tell by the leaf formation, they are full leaves streaching out for the light, and not streching the stem....

the truth of the matter is, the plant is stressed right out and going through hard times, for some reason....but you havn;t given us any information, so we dont know exactly what is wrong....

#1: Watering, When? and How much?
#2: exaust system?

Turn the lights to 18/6 or 24/0. 16/8 only stresses plants. throw away the MG nutes.... it costs $20 for 5-6 years worth of supply worth of that shit... just throw it out...

go and buy good Potting soil and some good basic nutrients.... with growing marijuana you get what you pay for.

http://www.htgsupply.com/Product-FoxFarm---FoxFarm-Liquid-Soil-Formula.asp $160 for 1 gallon of each. grow 1 OZ and absorb the costs.....

i dont have an exhaust fan, but i have one running in the closet! i usually water it when the leaves start to droop, and when i stick my finger down in the soil and its dry ill water it, does anyone have a watering schedule ?or because every plant is different its impossible to have a schedule?

Your plant looks super healthy but very small for their age. How often do you water and how far away are your lights from the top of the plant? Like Corbat420 https://www.rollitup.org/members/corbat420-53651.htmlsaid don't water every day, let the soil dry out before you water again. Make sure you have good drainage so the water has somewhere to go. By letting the soil dry out before watering again makes your roots grow by making them search for water. Do you have any clones? If so I would say go ahead and flower that sucka and use different techniques on your clones. If you don't have any my opinion would be to just make some clones off that girl and start over.

Do you have a fan the blows directly on the plants? Even though your growing indoors your trying to replicate the outdoor environment. An oscillating fan blowing on the plants acts as wind. It puts a low amount of stress on the plants making them adapt to the wind and strengthen their stalks.

kk check it out man from the pic i can give u my advice .... the cfl on the left of the pic is way to far u want that thing slamming close its almost doing nothing. nice idea for the top reflective but its almost like foil and that a no no causes heat spots to build and can burn ur plant im not sure if does that with cfl but i wouldn't risk it try getting more of the round hooded reflecters like the one in the left of the pic i just noticed at second glance u got another smaller one on the right get them closer thats tooo far

Hey your doin the best you caan with what you got. Think of it this way bro. You can veg it as long as you want. Obviously you know you need better lights. Here's the thing, if the plant gets to much bigger u wont have enough light. So veg that plant as soon as possible. No your not gonna get a QP, but you'll get something you can be proud of. Plus you know that much more the next time. Don't worry you have to learn to work with what you got. Then when and if you can upgrade. I was lucky a friend gave me his 250Whalide, which I built a room for, and a 400whps. I also got a buddy who teases me cause he has 3x1000w. My plan is to grow 2 or 3 plants at a time. I got a Veg room and a flower room. Good luck.
