First time growing in greenhouse. Got the clones 17th last month and set it in the solo cup for few days and some rooted it and now it’s been almost three weeks now and same like growing so slow. Asking for advice from long time growers to see if this is normal. The first three weeks I didn’t put any nut but some root growing hormones(half dose three weeks straight) didn’t show any burn or anything. But the small Shoots growing slow. Everyday it gets plenty of sunlight( Southern California sunlight). Today is the first day I put compost teas and some silica, cal mag, some recharge. All half doses. 55 gallon water tank. Nighttime I have 9 led 1500wat bloom plus light. The first 3 pic is when I first got the clones and bloom plus haven’t delivered to my house. Last 3 pic i took three days ago. Please comment. I really need help. I only grow organic, I don’t like to use chemical shit. I don’t like to poison people with weed.

You are outside.. is it cold? If the ground is cold.. get mesh shelving, and elevate them asap.. Bricks & metal mesh/grid shelving maybe.. pallets?
That can keep the roots from getting so cold. Cold will slow growth from what I've heard.

I mean, they don't look terrible. My clones went in cups on the 22nd of last month and have been in 5 gallon bags since the 31st and are pretty much the same size if not a tiny bit bigger. @HydroKid239 is right though, if they're on the cold cement ground then growth can be slowed. What are the nighttime temps in there?

Not cold at all. I have a cannon heater in there which keeps in around 75- 80 degrees at night. And I have the ground cover to prevent heat and cold at night.

It was cold the first week and the heater broke down on me one night and I believe that night cause them to stunt growth. It took another week to recover back and now it’s like three weeks now. It seems like they start growing back the last 10 days.

Under the tarp is another layer of old soil I used before and let the sun dry them out and kills all the bad shit in it. I would use the old soil make it super soil but it has a lot salt buildup for some reason( very high ph too)

Agreed with the above statement. The probably took some shock. No biggie.
