Hi all,
I'm new to the forums, and to growing, but after doing a lot of research I finally decided to start 2 weeks ago.
However, I've hit a snag - one of my plants is doing great, while the other four appear to be stuck doing nothing. Here's a photo: http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/7889/plants.jpg
Each seed germinated at the same time and was placed into Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil, and put under a 150W HPS (all I can afford until flowering) immediately. I used 24/0 for the first week, and moved to 18/6 the next. The temperature goes from 86 F peak during the day to a low of 76 F at "night". Humidity is stable at about 33%, and I water ~every two days (whenever the soil is no longer moist an inch down or so) using filtered water from the fridge, ph 7 before, and ph 6.8 runoff. No nutes yet.
Here's some more info on the setup: five 1-gallon pots in a 18"x18"x42" box, 12" intake fan near the base and 10" exhaust near the top. The intake fan blows across the light, and the box is covered in mylar.
Now, I'm not sure what could be causing the size discrepancy. The seeds are all the same strain (THC Bomb), and have all been subject to the exact same treatment and environment. The healthy plant is much more green, while the stunted plants are yellowing slowly, leading me to believe it could be nitrogen deficiency, but I can't write it off as such on my own.
I was planning to log this grow, and still may, but just haven't found the time. Any advice you could offer is greatly appreciated, and I'll try to answer any questions you may have as well, and can provide more pictures if necessary. Thanks for stopping by!
