New grower (feedback appreciated)

Hey, so this is my 2nd time growing autos. I'm currently growing purple punch auto, its doing great however taking longer than expected.
Ignore the state of some of the leaves as I stupidly sprayed neem oil when there was still daylight (just before flowering to kill off spider mite) and it burnt the leaves

It's now 87 days old and I expected faster growth, could this be due to growing outdoors or from sowing too early?


Feedback would be appreciated

How many times did you treat for mites? Just 1 neem application isn’t going to kill all of them

No most likely the genetics . Sun grows plants much faster than lights

Forget days,its done when its done

Looks like it just started flowering. About a month and a half left.

I thought this too so I have sprayed 3 times every 5 days

Seems to have got rid of them now, as the leaves have stopped wilting

Yeah it started I'd say 2/3 weeks ago but it's growing a lot quicker now

I can't seem to maintain the pH which may be why it's growing slower
I try to get it to 6 but a few days later it's back to 8
