ok so I have these two "feminized alaska ice" seeds. They sprouted and have been under 4 27 watt 5500k, and 2 26 watt 6500k cfl's in tote, with fan going for 2 weeks now
watering only when it dries out
lights are 20/4 and plants are 1-2 inches from lights. They seem to be doing just fine, big ones leaves seem to point downwards but looks healthy and small one is growing but the growth is very compact and much slower then bigger one.

dont mind the duct tape, i got these givin to me in the clear cups and heard clear wasnt good so i just taped them up until I transplant.

any thoughts?comments?

they look ok but are missing some trace elements, what is your pH they may be look out.

transplant into a deeper pot.
a plant's size is limited by its root growth
also those plastic cups have a way of not letting any oxygen get to the roots because of no drainage holes, the water pools in the cup and causes the soil to compact...
just my .02

actually the bottoms are littlered with holes and bottom edges but still small cups, also if I transplant to new soil do you think I should hit it off with superthrive or some nutes? they will be going in 2:1 fox farm ocean forest/ pro mix. also do you think my lights are sufficient? i mention them in first post.

thanks again keep it coming

It looks like you have a magnesium deficiency going on. What type of soil are they in now? Im using Pro-Mix BX and im disappointed in the soil myself. Im gonna pick up some FFOF like you and cut it with my remaining Pro-Mix till it runs out. Dont forget to get some perlite to increase aeration for your new mix.

It wouldn't hurt to up the lights. Your plants are lagging behind, but it may have more to do with nut def.

Heres a good link for you to look over and study lots OP. It'll probably be your most important tool for growing, imo.

Self Diagnose Your Plants

thanks man appreciate it


I am about to transplant the bigger one, roots are hitting the side walls of the cup so they need room to grow, also its currently in pro mix not sure what kind, but i know it had a low NPK also I topped it off with FFOF for strength and to introduce small amount of nuts, hasnt seemed to help. I am about to check out that link, they are going into the fox farm ocean forest/ pro mix 2:1 mix so there is plenty of nutes in there hopefully it does the trick, I just dont want to transplant to ealry, does this sound like what I should do to yall?


thanks again by the way

Definitely time to transplant, and when you do, bury those babies up to about an inch below the leaves.

LED thanks and nice avatar! i love skittles, haha
