Hey guys, this is my first grow and I am running into some problems. I noticed upon comparing ops of a similar age, that my plants are grossly undersized. I also notice they seem to go through periods of really slow growth, then really rapid growth.
E.g, when I transplanted them to the hydro tank and added nutes (transplanted from just rockwool), i noticed major growth, that has since slowed down.
I planted these guys on May 9th, it's been 3 weeks and 4 days, and here is a picture of them taken today. My best plant is also pictured.
The plants seem relatively healthy.
I am wondering if my light is too close to the plants. From the plants right under the bulb, there is 8-9 inches to the bulb, but the temperature is totally fine and there are no signs of burning.
Also, my humidity shoots up at night to like 85% and drops to like 20% in the daytime, another issue?
I have been experimenting with 3 different watering levels right now (high, drip, and none) and am going to see what plants perform the best over the next 3 days to determine if I am over/underwatering them.
Also, I added enough nutrients for a full plant, yet they are borderline seedlings, could this be responsible for the slow growth?
Any ideas??
