If it's showing pistils at that size expect it to be a runt. Sorry.
The new growth is looking good so I think it will stretch some, no guarantees though. What I would do: keep under 24hrs light for a few weeks to veg as much as you can, when growing slows then switch to 20/4 till harvest.
Misting the plant for what reason?
Didnt have very many roots when transplanted. Ive been scared to death i was going to over water so ive just misted the leaves a few times ocassionaly in the morning.
Wet the medium
Bad idea for future reference. Transplant when the roots have filled the current container. Overwatering is giving water too often, as in watering when the soil is still wet. This includes misting the plants. Put the spray bottle away forever, I've never used one.
Ive seen some pretty phenomenal stretches in my time. A plant smaller than that ended up nearly 4ft tall and I had to top her otherwise she would’ve ended up in the light fixture lol
Yeah, I knew enough to plant in final five gallon container , Didnt realize how picky these autos seem to be. I used soil from last grow thinking it would hopefully be spent enough to not have nute burn issues , My mistake (learning curve) . only reason i even started this grow was curiosity and schedule( Hopefully fast harvest) Ended up digging a seedling out of a big container and transplanting. I'll grow her out and learn , Now im even more curious!!! Thanks for replys. I dont consider myself a newbie but theres always something new.
I hear ya. I have aquariums galore so im a fan of air pumps and bubble stones even though im in soil. ( Cant hurt )
Shaking your container does help add oxygen. As long as ph is where you need it when you water youll be fine. I use white vinegar to lower ph with great results.
Kinda looks like a humidifier with high calcium tap water has been breathing on them at least that's what it looked like when I did that the first time.
I will say this... I have been using the same sprayer bottle full of water. Maybe its been long enough to be calcium deposit on leaves. Only been a week or so. Ph had checked close to neutral and no nutes so i was just spraying for moisture in between watering.
