Stunted growth could be a result of stress. Topping should wait just in case. They look good. The light could be set to 70%- 22-30 inches above them. At this stage with everything else going well, humidity and even lighting wouldn’t be a concern for me. They went through a transplant and need to settle into it. I’m very curious what medium mix they are in. I’ve steered myself away from the
Foxfarm liquid nutes. (See 420scene YouTube video explanation) I learned about Down to Earth organic nutes and Pro-mix soil (plain soil-like medium into which you add your own nute amendments.)
So these days I’m just putting a little (used once already in other grow,) FF Ocean Forest into my
Promix, pearlite, worm castings, kelp meal, grow dots mixture. And I’ll never add another nute until flower. Unless they need
cal-mag or silica. Or
Neem oil for gnats.
As for watering: Trust the weight of the pot. 100% always lift each pot before watering. Even in the same size containers in the same environment, they could need different amounts. You’ll only know if you feel the weight of each one. I water a circle around the plant not too close/not too far, and gradually move out to the sides as it gets bigger. I stash some top dressing on the sides where it will kick in with watering only if I water that area. Around two weeks before flowering I’ll prep them with recharge (more about this one on Dude Grows/YouTube) and a compost tea. Recipes for that I’ve also seen on 420 scene videos and on Mr. Growit videos. Anything else they get will only need because they seem to be needing it as determined visually. Mostly, in your case, it seems to be a wait-and-see situation.
But when plants are acting strange like this (taking a break from growing! Etc); You shouldn’t top. It just adds to stress, recovery time, and slowed growth.
Can’t wait to see advice people have about this!
I’m here looking for answers as to why I have one plant that’s basically only growing single leaves instead of the five or seven. It’s a crazy looking plant! Good luck with the grow! I’ve got my own daily grow channel on YouTube about my first time with a tent indoors. :) Local Weedia! <3
