Stunted growth HELP!

so its been three weeks today so i thought i might as well post some pics...... please tell me my plant looks normal......

Not that I'm the most experienced grower but I've never seen a plant look like that.

the older leaves are starting to yellow....... does this mean its not getting too much nutes or too much?

you're not doing too terribly bad - read read read the shit out of the FAQ's and pay attention to the posts from more experienced growers - that is gonna be one bushy bitch - i've got a feeling once you figure out the right nute/ph combo that works for your setup, this little plant might surprise the shit out of you and grow into a hell of a nice ass plant. good luck! =o)

man raise the lights a little and u got the wrong light too need u some standard cfls like cool light and warm light ya know a grow buld and stanard bulb just raise the lights so the plant will have to strech out to get to the light just looking at yer pics the light looks to close the bigger leaves are all nice and tight together so the light issue is probaly gonna fix it

i have 6 27w cfls around and one big (42w) cfl in the middle the light is about 2 inches from the plant...... the bottom leaves are starting to yellow what do i do? ...they're starting to get dry and hard...

yellowing of the leaves can mean that the plant is lacking nitrogen. so what nutes you applying? and ive never used cfl's i dont know anyone who does to be honest lol. what is the total ammount of time that plant has had to grow from seed to as it is now?

ok dude, this exact same thing was happening to me, so i got some flourscent tubes and its starting to get wider and spread out, its accually looking normal now.

ok so i think the yellowing is due to a sulphur deficiency....... its spreading quickly and my plant is dying...... what do i do? HELP! ....... oh yea and i flushed the plant today....

after i flushed the plant and the soil dried i noticed that all the perlite has turned yellow.... wtf is going on?

Lights are too close. You can see there are milimeters between the leaf sets. It shows the light is too close, it should be a little further to make the plant stretch.

Also it's the time for 18/6 light period.

Try these 2, it'll stretch.

alright...... its been almost 4 weeks so ill post some pics..... i watered the bitch allot lately and she really seems to like it... she has grown allot in the last two days.......

its looking a little better

alright its been almost five weeks so here are some new pictures..... i learned ALLOT this week about my plant and i fixed all the problems...... i fixed the ph and started adding nutes again.... also it wasn't growing because it wasn't getting enough water.. i was paranoid about over watering and it turns out i was not giving it enough...... now i water the plant 2-3 times a day i give its 1-1.5L a day and it really seems to like it..... lesson learned its better to risk over watering then not watering enough..... the plant has almost doubled in size since last week and now she is 6" tall..... i plan on vegging for another two to three weeks till she gets about 1' tall.....so here *she* is









p.s. i tried to over water the plant to see if i could do it, and i flooded the pot....... nothing happened she really seems to like ALLOT of water.......the leaves that were yellow have totally recovered and she is very healthy........

Hey,

One of my plants is the same age(2wks 3 days) as yours and stunted. We have the same pots ,except you have more CFLs, mine has stunted as well. I guess I'll try this out as well.

plant looks great man keep it up!! just wanted to leave lil info i read among the years on forums.. i noticed u have a mirror in the bottom of ur grow chamber just wanted to say becareful mirrors can cuase major hot spots and kill leaves like when the plant starts to fill over the planter. try sum thing white.. well thats my 2 cents... keep up the great work

good for you man you're the first person to notice ...... I also have aluminum foil on the wall.... everyone says that aluminum foil will kill my plant but it seems to be working just fine for me.... ill be extra careful about it though....

hehe thx ya im using tin foil on the walls on my lil ones too they're going outside to get all big and pretty.. but i also read the tin foil's shinny side can cause more hot spots than the duller side.. personally i use the duller side and try not to rinkle it to much well catch ya later man happy growing

sweet man, your plant seems very healthy and bushy.
How many lumens output do you have in total?

60 x 200 = 12000 lumens.........
3 x 27w
