what's wrong with my plants?

i got this 2 gorilla gluo auto in a 3 gal pot , the soil mix contains super soil ,perlites, compost, erthworm , bat guano. they are under 800w cob full spectrum led, 18/6 light cycle , the water ph is 6.5, temp 28c/ h 70% , day 14 and the growth is still very slow




this one plant stretching while others are not, why is that?

super soil

Have had the same experience with a GDP, tried everything and would not grow, was brain boggled, after about a month it finally rooted and was a beast, I suggest to just stick with it

Stop watering so much and let the roots search for water.

have done tones of reserch in te past 8 months, kinda dissapointed , i was very sure about the watering, didn't over do it , i noticed the slow growth since day 3, i saw everyone plants bigger than mine, ppl said it's ok it will explode later, i don't think that is the case!!, my only bet is it's becouse of the soil, first time i try using my own soil mix, so something is off about the soil, now i'm thinking to move everything hydroponic or coco!

How big do you expect a seedling to be at 2 weeks old??

from what i have seen it should be at least bigger than this seedling

I'm not trying to be rude but why would you go an even harder route when you haven't figured out a natural route? The leaves are small and you have gigantic stretch for seedling. Looks as if it just has enough light to survive and not flourish. Stop trying so hard. Ever heard the phrase less is more? It's an extremely important phrase when growing marijuana.

Never used the light your using but....

It may be a little slow but it looks fine.

BTW just curious what planets you own. There all either too close to the sun or too far. Need to bring them to Earth's distance from the sun for good planetary growth.

it looks like that soil is awful wet to me, you need to let it dry out between waterings. with all the shit in that soil, you're lucky it isn't burnt all to hell. next time, get some seedling mix or just plain potting mix to start off in, don't drop them into the "super" soil until they have a decent set of roots established

i understand what you mean, the reason why i'm using this soil is because i live in Asian region!!, There are no types of soil for cannabis growing, like the fox farm soil that almost everyone using etc.., and it's not easy to get it here, so i had to study what is the best soil for cannabis and i had to take a recipe from some old growers, and i found this soil as my best bet, my idea was to have enough nutrients in the soil so i don't have to add anything later (or until flowering at least), also i didn't plant the seed directly into the soil because it will be too hot for seedlings, so i scoped a chunk in the middle of each pot and added some potting mix, it was fun learning experience , i think i got too excited for the idea that i might have something better to smoke rather than the shitty brick weed that we have here, any way i will update here what is going to happen with these girl's, currently waiting my coco to arrive.

my watering schedule depends on the soil, i only water when the soil is fully dry and the pot feels light, it look wet in the pic just cuz it happened that i took pic right after watering

i'm totally aware of that, that's why i put some potting mix in the middle of each pot , still might be too heavy for them tho, gonna try to add some coco to the mix in my next grow

The first few weeks the plant is establishing roots so it's doing more under the surface than above.
Ya plants look fine for 2 weeks old. Stop stressing!!

i bought all those lights off an old man who stoped growing, but i'm not sure about the actual watt for each one
currently i'm using this on veg mode

do you think i should add one more soon?

when i hear this i get some sort of relief , thank you

Scrap whatever your current lighting is and start over there. This plant is not getting the light it needs. You need the power of the sun, not some used "800 watt" junk.

it's really not an option to take the planet out in my country, but this light is really bright tho, and i got quiet few of them for now, later i will invest in a new quantum bored!!!
, thank you

i read that some people prefer to turn on veg + bloom in since the start of the grow, while other's say it would be too much light and will cause light stress, what do you think?

More patience is needed, 100% sure.
