So I have 3 Blue dream plants that were germinated May 1st, I probably screwed up and already transferred them to 5 gallon pots. Well, after 2 months they are only about 5 inches tall, but while digging around the pots, they have some really thick roots. I water them with dechlorinated water once the top 2 inches gets dry, keep them on a 12 on 12off schedule. Plenty of airflow, keep it right around 75°f and about 65% humidity. Any particular reason these damn things are not growing like they should? Also forgot to mention they are autoflowering.

I missed the 12-12 part though. That's a big deal there.

I water them about every 3 days, and between the 3 normally about a gallon. And using some organic soil stuff a buddy gave me.

Chronic overwatering to death. I'd toss them and start over. Fill the pots all the way and mix at least 20% perlite.

Someone told me that once the 1st 2 or 3 inches is dry to water them. So I guess that's wrong.

I can get some pictures tomorrow but it's a pvc frame wrapped in black plastic, with the reflective silver wrap on the inside. 2 led grow lights my buddy used in the past, and then a small fan for circulation and then a ducting fan for ventilation.

You could grow them another month and get a joint or 2.

Could I aerate the soil and help dry it out some? I realize now, I packed the soil too tight for it to drain properly out the bottom.

Keeping an eye on the thermometer, it stays right around 70 to 75.
