my baby is 6-7 weeks old it was planted in normal soil from the garden and left her outside, 6 weeks in and she was growing nicely untill she jus stopped and there has'nt been n e growth in 6-7 days. today i decided to go to b&q and buy a grow bag and put it in a big pot and transplanted it to that. CAN THE PROS PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK thanks

Well even if you take away the 7 days of no growth, that should have been larger by far at that point. It looks healthy for the most part, so id say the problem lies with your soil, or watering / feeding practices. Explain this and I can help you more.

I think the plant is just in shock from the transplant to the pot it will prob just take a few days for it to get used to its new soil or new environment.

Looks like she's not getting enough light. Did you say you just removed her from a container? In a pot that big, you are likely to not see much above ground growth for a while - the plant will spend a lot of time rooting, but that doesn't mean nothing is happening. Give her some time and find a place with more light.

12 hours of direct light? That's nearly impossible unless you planted it in the middle of a flat desert.

In that larger pot I would think it will just take awhile to show you more growth on top. I've noticced that alot of strains will grow down before the grow up. But once they start growing up they grow at a really good rate. I would still say she's kinda small for 6-7 weeks, but I have a whole grow room full of crawling plants.

right ive brought the plant inside ive put it in a box lined wiv foil and two 15w energy saving lights and closed the box. day 1 in the box with 17hrs and 30 mins of light and 6hrs and 30 mins of dark and no sign of growth but bottom small leaves have dryed right out n look like there about to drop off and the second set of leaves from the bottom have dry brown tips. i have just started day 2 and put a tiny pc heatsink fan blowing on the plant. is this ok?

the pc fan will do for now. but you will need more ventilation and stronger lights. u want to use at least 2x of the 27watt? 100 equivalent cfl lights go for the 6500k the 2700k's are for later on in the plants life. the plant will most likely go threw some form of stress going from indoors to outdoors.

what soil are you usen?
