Dinafem White Widow Auto at 13 Days:

Not much happenin' folks. Not yet anyways

I think they might have been shocked somehow by the hps being on too soon. Its not burning them, its 3.5 feet above them with a cool tube, keeping the bulb very cool. WW2 seems to have conquered the shock and is growing okay now. But for two weeks and they only look like this? Any suggestions?

Here they are at 13days old:

Just the seed man. It will grow - just takes time to get a nice root system established.

what he's said its focusing on getting them roots spread out so it will appear stunted make sure to let the pot really dry up before each water aswell peace

I'm new to growing, but I feel like that's really small for 13 days old man! Do you mean 13 days since germination, or 13 days since emerging from soil under the light (w/ 2 cotyledons and green stuff)!! Here's a pic of my current CFL grow when they were 17 days old...

Just Right Extra Organic Potting Soil. This is like my 8th grow or so idk. I've always been a 2-3 gallon guy. Never had this problem. But These buckets are friggin tall man. Bhandari, yours are in a small cup so the roots can easily grab on to all that soil and support the plant, these girls are in 5 gallons of soil. Also, these are autos. So if it is the root problem, maybe it's the large pots. The have a longer taproot being autos, and they haven't had much outward growth yet to support them enough. I have 2 110 watt cfls in tere too. But hopefully they still have time to veg a little before their auto flowering genetics kick in.

Yea, I actually transplanted them a few days after that, to where they are now, in 2 gal buckets. I don't think it's the large pots that are your problem...roots grow and expand in search of more nutes after they have depleted a previous area (mostly, and a few other reasons), small pots don't mean it will grow faster and grab soil better...not to be a dick!! Also, at 2 weeks old, you should be way larger...I like smaller plants and usually flower at 4 weeks of veg, but at you're rate, it'll take you an extra month...
