Newbie First Time Grower Needs Help!

Hello Everyone,

I finally decided to grow my own stuff after making a trip to Amsterdam. I got myself Royal Critical Auto Seeds.

Before the begining i spent quite alot on forums, reading important topics and grow journals.

I have a spare storage room in my house and decided to build my own growbox. Attaching the looks of the box from outside. Right now i have 2 120mm PC fans as intake and 1 very powerful fan for exaust attached to that pipe thing.

Its being like 40 days from germination but it seems something slowing down the growth. Thats a 12L pot, put seed directly after germination, no transplant. right now there is like 90W 6500K CFL bulbs inside, ill put more when plant gets bigger.

I know heat is a bit high. Im building a CO2 generator, hopefully it will ease up the stress. Got Soil and water PH tester, feeding with 6.4-.6.8 water every couple of days. Yet plant seems quite small, anyone have idea why? Some of the leaves has deformations can be seen in pics. And small tentacle thingys came up, is that means flowering stage begun? If so im gonna change to 2700k cfls.

PS: Using nutes 7-2-4 for veg stage, although 1/4 of stated amount.

You mean you planted germinated seeds right into that 12l pot? cant believe they survived that.
normally slow growth means that its either root bound can be loads of things..

overwatering/underwatering
rootbound
over nuting
under nuting
not enough light
needs flushing
needs trimming

im new to growing myself but have read up endless ammounts and these seem to be the top problems for slowing growth.

mine stopped growing about 2 weeks ago so i started giving it a weak nutrient feed and the next day the colour changed and growth started rapid. i also keep mine with minimum leaves and lower branches as the well known people always say they waste energ so.. maybe try cutting a few lower branches and leaves off and it should shoot up.
