If you have it in a big pot, it will grow slow at first. Seedlings should be started in little 2x2 pots or cups.

did u wait till cup was nearly root bound or just dump one into the other as soon as it sprouted. should still be in cup and much bigger.

yeah it had many stringy roots in the cup and it was at the same hieght as it was when i repotted it. I know it had many roots in the cup becuase when i replanted it i fucked up and accidently pulled the entire plant, roots and all out of the soil >.< amazingly enuff this one survived because i did not over water the soil to handle (unlike the other ones) that i repotted, it came right out of the soil because the soil was too dry. I hurried up and burried the exposed roots into its new perminate home and since then its remained the same hieght but i notice today the leafs are sprouting+ the stem has strengthend so these are better signs

If you pulled it out of the soil, it most likely wasnt ready to be transplanted. Do you have pictures?

No i lost the usb thing for my cams memory chip. but i will try and find it later. It was 2 weeks into veg when i replanted, was that not long enough?

thats plenty long enough. how close is your light? closest point of the bulb to the top of the plant. with a 100w cfl it should be 4-6 inches depending on how hot they get.

also going from a cup to a 5 gallon as going to take a lot longer to see growth than going to a 1 or 2 gallon first. the roots need time to spread out in the new pot. the bigger the pot the longer it takes.

la la la, I fear you shocked the lill girl when you transplanted. She will take a little while to catch up and may be a forever dwarf but that isn't all bad. I would get her some grow big, or another type of vegetative fert to encourage her root and stalk growth. Let her have some dry periods too so her roots will "search" for water and thus get a lill bigger in doing so. -- Oh wait you already moved her to flower??? Even still a lil grow big can't hurt. Also, keep her in a box with that cfl, a cabinet or some other confined space so you don't lose lumens.

I was transplanting my favorite girl and the soil was too wet and I ended up pulling off half her root ball. The poor dear! But she survived, she was stunted and showed preflowers early so I moved her into 12/12 about a month before my others and will still harvest a nice 1/2 oz off of her to enjoy while my others finish out.

Oo wow thats lucky! I have done that with b4 when they were too wet, sadly they didnt survive =*[.. Her being a dwarf would be a good thing bcoz shes a closet grow and its a tight space in there, nd i dnt mind a small harvest although it would b great for her to bounce bacc with monster buds! =] I hav a question tho about the "grow big", ive got her in MG soil and it has fert in it and im afraid if i add ne more chemicals i will burn/stress her out even more. Do you think this will happen?
