Well before you leave take this with you.

www.growweedeasy.com

4 hours of study on that web site and you never would have used those pots and you would know how to water a plant.
The light you have will do 2 small plants. Based on your skill level I recommend photos as you can make up for lost progress by extending veg.

No one here has a god complex. What we have is experience and we're able to recognize problems like what you're experiencing. If you started growing cannabis 10 yrs ago like you claim, I sincerely doubt we would be having this discussion. The issues you are having are very common rookie mistakes. Experienced growers would have been miles beyond this weeks ago and made all corrections to avoid this out of habit ... without even thinking about it.

My proposal is simple. Drop the bullsh*t and we can help you learn to grow cannabis. Give us an attitude like you want to learn and we will help you learn. Promises!

150 W of what! Incandescent, fluorescent, LED panel, and if it’s an LED panel, what is the actual wattage that it is pulling from the wall? 150 W is just a little too vague! And you could try getting a larger fabric pot with some well aerated soil and bury them up to within an inch or two where the foliage starts! Not sure it would be worth the effort, but you could try it! Good luck!

What is the actual electric draw from the wall? On its label, it should state this. It doesn't look like a 900 watt light as in 900 watts of actual electricity. Another poster asked this earlier. There's a reason. There's a lot of cheap Amazon lights being sold with these misleading specs. Yours looks like one of them. The color is off. (last picture).

Anyway, all insults aside ... I'll help you if you want to learn to grow cannabis. However, if I tell you something ... don't dismiss it. I'm not always right, but when it comes to cannabis, I'm also usually not too far off. Instead, lets discuss it. I'll tell you what I know and why I'm saying the things I say. If I don't know, someone else here will surely chime in with their own experience. Someone on here has experienced these things before .... guaranteed.

Hey Bobbin sorry your having issues getting the grow to take off. There's several variables working against you and some folks have sounded off to point some of them out.

The appearance of the plants give a clue as to what's wrong. Based on plant size, you want roughly around 250 PPFD minimum hitting the top of each plant. If you have a smart phone, download the Photone app and hold it below your light and it should help you figure out what approximate distance your light should be to give them the energy they need.

Watering - make sure there is adequate oxygen for the roots, and make sure the method your using will encourage NEW root growth, not just make the existing roots happy. You do this by putting water in where there are no roots yet. Common gardening advice is to water plants at the drip line. The drip line is where water or rain that hits the leaves pools off the end tips. The roots haven't grown out to that point yet, and as the soil dries back, the moisture the roots want will be just within reach for them to extend and grab it. The goal is to make so many roots you have to prune them or up-pot your plant.

We are always watching the top half of our plant to watch it grow but if you really want your plant to grow, grow it's bottom half below the soil.

Also watch out with feeding. If you start with a good organic soil mix, you shouldn't have to feed them anything but "normal" tap water for the first two months or longer.

Wishing you the best! If you repot those and bury the stems, reposition lights and monitor watering practices, share some pics so we can follow the progress and hopefully improvements.

avoid treating seedling and too small plants with pesticide, you want the plant to be noticeably bigger for applying safely pesticides without taking the risk of burning the plant

You don't have someone in your immediate circle who doesn't want you growing, do you? Hear me out, I'll keep this short. When I was 16 I had a plant going. My mom eloped with a jarhead who didn't like slackers. We moved in with him and two weeks later my plant suddenly and mysteriously died. The fucker poured roundup on my plant. So if you're doing everything right and it's still going wrong, don't rule out sabotage if it's a possibility. Just don't go blaming a spouse if your just a shitty grower though, lol.

Hi ya, they are pushing 6 weeks and they are tiny, the lack of light total down to me, i have grown from seeds a handful of times, 99% of time cutting, dip in honey put in pot with plastic dome over the top, when rooted take of plastic dome jobs a goodie, trouble is i did the same with seedling 4 getting they are small and the dome (bottom of large plastic water bottle) means the light is 6"+ from earth/seedling, i remember looking at them thinking they look like cress......time it clicked with me they had gone mental lol , complacency on my part, rookie error.

Work backwards what have you changed
For sure the plants had a light issue however you say you changed that ok I’ll believe you however what wattage is your new light / how far away
It does look like your not watering correctly
If you’re not overwatering maybe your letting them dry out to much & there sucking up nutes rather than water.

Don’t take it so personally this is an open forum & not everyone’s pulling your pants down.

I can understand why it feels like that however when someone who knows what they’re talking about tells you something and you react in a manner that they might construct differently to what you have it can lead to you feeling like everybody is picking on you when in reality then really not.

You mention ph are you feeding synthetic nutrients? Have you changed the frequency/strength of your food, maybe your trying to feed them to early/ to much it would account for them being stunted and it kind of does look your feeding schedule is out

Looks like you have a few problems light being one, maybe your food being the other & watering frequency.

Thinking about it if you’re ph-ing what is your ph

as said work backwards think about what you’ve changed

Good luck bud
