Growth Halted??

Okay so i got 3 seeds in the ground 9/23 and they sprouted like normal (light cycle 24 hrs for 3 days then 18/6). The plants themselves grew very tall with in the first 2 weeks, but now they seem to have stopped growing(They havent appeared to grow since they sprouted and got tall). My last plant had multiple little leaves on it by now. I wonder if maybe I need more nutrients or what. This is my first 3 real plants, they have my full attention, Im dong this to learn so any information could be helpful. I just wanna be a good plant mama

Pics would help, and some more details about your set up.

Could be a lot of things. Not enough light, too small a container, too much water come to mind.

Strains? Photo or auto? And what the other poster asked about.

like everyone is saying pics would be nice

I have a 60 wt light because that all i have there. Large Pots because the last pots i had the plants got too tall for. The pic here is only half the height of the plants (planted deeper), but they started to lean after they started growning tall. I water them whenever the top soil is dry. I Use Organic Vigoro soil. I know their not dead because they lean toward the light

Are you using incandescent or halide light? There is a lot of stretch between the cotyledon leafs and the next set. If using cfl bring it down closer.
What kind of soil you using? It doesn't look like bagged potting soil to me.

I use organic Vigoro potting soil from home depot. My light is a Philips A19 60w 120volt incandescent light.

You're not gonna be able to grow anything with that light. You need some CFLs around 6500k or a metal halide right now and then a high pressure sodium for flower stage.

okay where can i get that? any brands?

Like BillyBob said change lights now. Incandescent will only create stretch. Any cfl is better. But try and get as close to 6500k color spectrum as you can. And get the largest wattage you can, a 55w (or multiple smaller ones) would be min for good growth. The Vigoro soil has fertilizer in it so don't feed them anything for at least 6 wks.

Best of luck.

Click to expand...

Lowes, home depot, Ace hardware, WalMart, etc. Compact floros are for sale everywhere. Doesn't matter which brand of bulb.

thank you for all your advice, i went out and bought a 120 equivent bult but only uses 23 wtts 1200 lumens and 5000k

hope things work out!

The cheapest lights you can get for cannabis are from Wally world. Look for the "Lights of America" brand fluorescent.Get the one that says grow light. They are 10$ a piece and are 7800k. Honestly I would read ALOT about growing before trying it. It is very easy with the right knowledge, but can be a daunting task without it.

Well the best way to learn is to practice so Im learning and practicing through trial and error, imhave a journal s everything is noted. I research constantly, but this is only the beginning for is 420princess right here

You can get CFLs easily at any home depot or hardware store.
