My growth has slowed. I even have one plant back left that just is taking forever for new growth to mature. Plus the white tips. Using coast of Maine soil with worm castings asking with gaia green 444 at recommended dosage amended into soil.

I haven't since i planted them. I amended the soil with 3 tablespoons per gallon of soil. This sat will be 2 weeks they've been in the soil with amended 444 gaia. Maybe time to top dress?

I feel like that's alot of gaia, and as it has obviously had a positive effect growth wise, I think it may just have been a bit to large of a dose for them. I amended at 1 tablespoon per gallon with gaia and added some worm castings. I could be totally off base but I think they r just o.d'ing a little bit

3tbs per gallon is the right dose...only when its out of nutrients. Coast of maine had nutrients *i'm assuming* so he should of waited to feed until day 21-30

Right before that, it says “potted plants 3-tbs” either way we all use at least 3tbs

Are you using led
Click to expand...
Reason i ask is slow growth and yellow tips can be a sign of the light being to low
There is a correlation between ec and ppfd more ec more ppfd upto the limits before c02 supp

Leds give a intense beam due to reflection tech and lenses this can prove to ne to much for youngers

I spent years messing with nutes before realising how an. Led changes many dynamics just because its cool on the back of your hand dosnt mean its right for the babays

If you on leds i would start there and dont take the manufacturers word for ppfd output its usually way off due. To quality control ect

Using spider SE3000... I thought maybe deficiency or maybe i had the light to close at to much power. Had it at 30 inches at 55% . I've since lowered the light to 20 inches and dropped power to 35%. They looked a bit healthier this morning. 4 weeks from sprout.View attachment 1346539

That is your problem i would say the light swing it as high as poss it wont hurt them it may encourage stretching if you see undesirable stretch drop it till you find the sweet spot

Under a viper ks3000. We couldnt get it to 100% untill week 2 of flower at 40 inches now they are there it can drop slowly to the sweet spot


This is why most rifht led off because they havent understood the difference between the 2 light sources

I think you may be right... I've def struggled with finding a sweet spot with the light. First time indoor growing.

They two plants on the right just aren't filling out like the other two on the left. Do you think and extra topping would help this? They've all been topped only once.

Start high as poss with led lowest intensity and if they stretch lower it or increase intensity after a few you will just know lol


But dont go fucking around with nutes just yet it will just cause more problems you will know when its a nute issue

Tie the main branches down to the edge of the pot pull them low take fan leaves that block light from the center

Are they all the same strain
Also you only mix one lot of food up
If im right then the little one may struggle and slow it down as the big ones need more again its finding the sweet spot

As long as you pull those branches down and spread them to fill as much area as poss once you flip it will soon fill up
