Yea they do start slow... Some more than others.. Thats another reason folks clone... It gives you a jump start.. If your having issues with the speed of growing now, wait untill you cure your bud... Its tuff as hell to not smoke it all before its done curing..
Fox Farms makes Happy frog soil. It a good soil that is not hot. I have had good success with my last run using it. In my final transplant I used super soil method with Happy from and things are looking great.
