I've been growing about 2 weeks now. The plants seemed to be growing fast for about 4 days and now it's growing really slow with 6 leaves, including the first 2 round leaves. I looked up 2 weeks old plants online and the seem to be much bigger than mine. I have two plant fluorescent lights and give about 4 tea spoon of water a day. 24/7 light. what am i doing wrong? or is this normal?

How many total watts per light(actual, not equivalent)? You need a good 100W for one plant.

what do purple stems mean? Is that good or bad? I have 2 small plantws that seem healthy. and are about 4 inches tall and have 4 set of 3 leavess but have purple stms and seem to have slowed as well. They are under a 400W HPS.
Thanks

yeah thats happened to me too.... purple stems is lock out...there are better explanations than that but thats what it is... what you need to do is flush those plants... check the ph well... and hope that the new growth stays green.... your light is fine...

search purple stems and youll see what im saying....

How old are these?.... are they clones.... do you still have the mom... Is the mom purple too??? if you try and clone a purpled stem clone it will carry the issue with it and will take fore-ever to grow....

check this pic out.... 3 weeks old and no growth...

Honestly man in the readings that you find on here they say that its a nutrient lock out... low mg blah blah.... but when i was doing the dwc clones.... i had perfect advanced nutrients going to it and a 700 ppm or so.. to correct... what i did was started using RO water... and changed my weak little aquarium lights out.... i placed 4 cfls and the grow began... SO not sure if it was the water... or the light... I dont think you have a light issue.. again.. .pics of your setup would be nice..

All light, and no sleep. Lol, Give them babys so rest, they need it!
Switch over to 18/6 and get some better lights, also what kind of soil are you using as well as nutrients and if you have used any yet

I agree with the cfl idea... Unless those are t5... which they dont look like it to me... they need light.
