Plants not Growing Very Big? Please Help

Redpowder · May 13, 2011

So my plants are around about 3weeks and I have been conpairing them to other peoples journals and my plants look very small.. They have been out in the sun for the last 3weeks I have just put them indoors for the next couple of days because its going to rain and No Sun!

I'm using self watering planters MG soil - With Nutz.
Tap Water and Sun light.

Can anybody help?

is that a halogen light? If so that could be your problem right there. they don't put out the right spectrum that your baby needs. get a cfl any kind will suffice for a little one like that.

or put it outside... i dont think that light has what it takes.

Have patience my friend, for the young ones take a while to root before they will show growth. My outdoor took almost 3 weeks before I saw growth and now it grows 1" + every 2 days or so..

Self watering in MG? That could be causing the time release nutes to constantly release and cause nutelock, stunting , etc....signs of overwatering...

Well said Simply Smoked. Best advice in the thread.

Other than patients the best one can do is use Superthrive and/or Mycorrhizal Fungus to help the plant grow a bigger root system.

It's not good to compare your plant to others due to different strains, nutes/ferts and environment.

dont worry it is normal......dont try to compare your outdoor plant with the ones growing indoor! the indoor have 24 hours of light while yours gets at best 16 hours. so they have an advantage of light and temperature/humidity conditions (controlled environment).......your advantage of growing outdoors could be better quality....so give it a try a wait...I am doing the same :-)

rain water has the right ph dude so let them get wet mg is good but use it very little as it can burn with ease happy growing
