Not growing? That sucks..

[JimiHendrix]

Hey guys, right now I am doing a 12/12 from seed stealth grow in this speaker cabinet I have. There isnt much room (5" wide X 2' long X 3 1/2' high) so I am just doing one plant. I have it in a half of a RC 2 liter bottle with FFOF soil. I am using Biobizz Bio-grow nutrients.

It is now 2 weeks today, and for some reason it has stopped growing as fast as it was. It could be because of the roots touching the bottom of the container, but I dont know. I've seen ppl do 12 12 from seed in small containers..

And also, when Is it going to start showing its sex? When it has enough nodes?

If your roots are touching and you can see it repot into something bigger and change it to a pot that you cant see thru i heard it messes with the root system. (maybe thats why they stay underground).I never used that line of nutes so cant say to much about that. what kind of lighting?

well if you're using ocean forest you should not need additional fertilizers for a month or two, especially a seedling, it already has nutes from the seed it was in. I would say pull back on the nutes and water with pure water dude. do this a couple times. the point is to add water so that the nutrients can be carried. dry soil doesnt mean it needs water AND nutrients. i can almost guarantee this is the problem. also, make sure you have drainage holes for the water to drain. you should always water thoroughly everytime. this means water will touch the soil from the top and drain out the bottom. if you water like this you should only need to water 2 times a week. i doubt its the roots because that plant sounds too small. but transplant anyways it doesnt hurt to have more than enough room. wouldnt you like to sleep on a master bedroom with your whole body spread out??? to grow plants you must become them

hi,

i doubt its root bound already, maybe it just has a growth spurt and now its growing steadily slower? theres a chance its been stressed some how, but without more details or pictures id never know

it wont show sex untill its sexually mature, usually around 1mo or when the plant has atleast 3 or 4 nodes. this is why most people dont bother with 12/12 from seed; because it wont show sex for about a month, and it grows strechy on 12/12 lighting

I just started using nutrients not too long ago.. also I cant transplant it because my grow space is limited.

Also the dirt dries up super fast because I have to have the grow space covered up
