Okay guys ive had this plant for a little over a month and i feel like i may be doing something wrong it seems full of life and everything but then again it seems kind of small for its age the seed is dutch passion feminized blueberry and i have it in a mix of worm castings and soil my method of watering is through 'sippers' which is 4 stands underneath and one is made of tight packed cotton and other materials with a saucer underneath filled with water, so it just 'sips' out what it needs
let me know what you guys think do i need more nutes, anyone experienced with this plant before?:weed:
Also its in a 6 inch pot, i havent given it any nutrients and the light is a 125watt cfl blue specturm and i was wondering about transferring it to hydroponics somewhere else by clipping the stem and using clonex

I had some really slow/small Purps
from BCSeedKing.
Looked a bit bigger than yours
but the same amount of time.
Could be the strain?
I wouldn't think it was lack of nutes, not yet.
I've got a lavender Kush clone under
2x26w cfls thats close to 12" tall with no stretch at all,
so lights also seem ok for now.

Try giving it a regular watering. Your soil is dry. I understand your watering method but still just looks thirsty to me.

You need to water from the top to get the excess salts out of the soil... Your plant will be happier after that. Water it with 3 times the amount of the container size. While your at it, check the pH of the runoff water comin out the bottom towards the end of your flush. Good luck mang.

edit: and yes mj hates mulch and woody shit so get it out of that and into better soil.

actually it is really wet right now, i usually keep it wet, the top layer is dry but about a centimeter down its extremly moist all the way down although i only stuck my finger about an inch, ill try watering it from the top down, not quite sure about how to change the soil, and what about moving it to hydroponics is that a wise idea? my friend has the whole setup and is willing to take it and i trust him

Your plant is a month old?
When my plants are grown from seed. In a months time they're at least 6-8 inches tall sometimes more, depending on the strain.

You need to get it the hell out of that pot.
Put it into some new soil, preferably something that has perlite in it.
When your plant is in seedling stage or the beginning stages of vegetation, they need the most humidity you can supply.
Try putting a plastic dome over your plant.
Spray the inside of the dome with water 3-4 times a day.
If you have a heating mat, place the pot on top of it. Your roots are attracted to warmth.
If you don't have a heating mat, put your pot on top of your PC or a cable box. Just something that's a bit warmer than the air inside your house.

Doesn't look too bad. A bit small, but healthy and green. The pot might be a limiting factor. Get it into something bigger so it has more room to put down roots. You'd be surprised how much root room a plant that small needs =) When you transplant it, it'll probably appear to "stop" growing for a few days, but don't worry! Once in a bigger pot, the plant will start putting down new roots. Once the roots are established you'll start seeing growth above the soil.

I wouldn't give it any nutes just yet. Get it into a bigger pot first and let it stretch it's roots out before you start any feeding.

well my dad has a greenhouse so we have industrial size bags of perlite, i could make some new potting soil, i added perlite to this one but im guessing it was not nearly enough or a mutsve used too much worm castings but would you be able to give me a guide to transplanting my plant? i dont want to put it into shock or anything but right now it seems like its not growing anyways :\
