[h=2]Okay so this is my 2nd grow with actual regular cannabis seeds not autoflower bs. I have a grow tent 24x36x60 with a 179cfm inline fan, 150w sunsystem light hps, and two fans one blowing air in the tent and one in the tent blowing above the canopy. Temps are 70-71 low and 79-81 for high with humidity bouncing around 30-58%. I have a bagseeds going into week 6 veg, very stunted and not much growth. I[/h]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]tooped it too early and also transplanted it 2 weeks later at week 4. It has not really showed muh growth te past 2 weeks after transplant which went very smooth. What should I do it just showed preflowers but not very big? Anyway to boost it and get it to grow better again? And I also have a sweet seeds sweet tai growing starts week 3 veg tomorrow very healthy have not touched it except with ph6.5-6.8 water going to top once it grows 3 more nodes. Can anyone tell me if it's be too soon still to top?[/FONT]​

At this stage seedlings tend to grow slowly, focusing more on root development than anything else. They all look pretty healthy to me with the exception of the plant in the first pic. Those firm, droopy leaves are a sign you could be over-watering it.

As for topping, you can top whenever you'd like after your third set of leaves. If they have not grown ANY since you transplanted them, they could still be in shock. If that's the case I would wait until you notice a bit of growth before you top them to prevent any further shock.

This plant should be 2-3-4 foot tall by now. I dont know what you soil or food you gave to the plant but it was not good. The thai looks better but is still small for 3 weeks.

Get the plants into some better soil and they should kick in in a week.

Soil choice is important I use MG, Happy Frog or Ocean Forest and dont feed for a month or more. I usually flip to flower after a month due to light limitations .

Not sure on ppm only have ph strips but it says 40-80ppm of alkalinity and I'm also not sure water temp it feel like room temp on my hand . I've not fed the bagseed anythin but 1 diluted feed of grow big from ff this past Sundays watering. The rest of the time has been phd water between 6.5-6.8 And the sweet tai I just lst'd last night until she get big enough to top

When I transplanted the bagseed it was white roots. Only nutes it was given was diluted grow big so I didn't burn it and that was this past Sunday. I've got ocean forest 70-30 mix with perlite and couple tablespoons of dolomite lime in the mix for ph buffer. Unless it's the bagseed genetics I think topping it at 2 weeks messed it up

any stress related will stop growth for like at leas t5 to 7 days . so yes topping it did slow the growth but after a week it should have recovered and started growing again. transplanting too will stress them out. another 3 to days of delay. pretty much a waiting game from your plants to get adjusted.

try not to do everything in one sitting like transplant , top, prune. etc. try to stretch taht out so you give them time to recover

Okay that's why it's prob stunted as hell and my sweet tai only being half it's age same size as it. Thanks for the help. So basically just wait it out? And see if it'll take back off?

Avoid watering too often. The roots wont grow if they constantly have access to water. Let them dry out but not completely and the roots will grow at that point to find water. Small roots=small plant. I water my plants every 7-12 days. Good luck
