Hey guys, titan here. I just wanted to ask ou a question about one of m plants, im growing two in my closet right now and they were both hatched at the same time...the plan in question was actuall the first to sprout...anways, after sprouting one of the plants took off with normal growth while the other got its first pair of leaves (real pair, not starter) and then stopped for 3 weeks, half of one of the leaves died and broke off and the rest stayed the same, absolutely NO growth! but recently (about a week ago) growth took off and the stupid lil plant! its exciting to see but im hella confused! any ideas what happened!?!? i can include pics if you guys want them, i can show both plants to see comparison...please offer any ideas!

What kind of light is that? Do you ph test? Is there a fan on those girls? Do you use ferts? At what strength?

there is one 2 bulb 3' fluoro fixture hanging above the plants and one 35w CFL about mid-height of the large plant, all i can afford for now, plus im movin the babies in a couple days...i do not ph test, there is one fan for the room, and i have not started using ferts quite yet, i was gonna start superthrive at one drop/gallon, and i was kinda curious about the molasses thing? i dont know what that does

Your first problem is a ph issue. Until that is cleared up everything else is sorta on the back burner. You can get a cheap liquid ph test kit at lowes for about $10.

The fan should be blowing directly on the plants.

Superthrive is not fertilizer.

Don't worry about molasses until you are flowering.

"lst" low stress train...its gonna make her fill out ALOT more, i will get a better yield, i dont think the smoke will be that shitty, its a really good strain, really good, the main problem is she's stretched out cuz my roomate put the light 6" above her for five days when i was gone...but shes filling out better now, and i fimmed it too
