    Post Slow growth

    Hey guys im growing trainwreck in a 5 gallon pot. planted in mid march and its only about 8 inches tall with 5-6 nodes. Soil mixture is 1/3 patio plus 1/3 mg organic and 1/3 soil from the ground. i just started flowering about 2 weeks ago by using triple layered garbage bags to induce 12/12. no sign of preflower or anything can any one tell me when i should start seeing pre flowers or how i can help it grow faster?

    And for the pre flowers wouldnt they show soon after the 12/12 switch. idk ive heard that it shows after 12/12 and ive also heard you have to wait till the plant is sexually mature hmmm.

    MG Organic Soil should not have any Nute Pellets in it. Patio plus is good soil. The question is, what is in your ground soil? Is it sandy, clay, loamy? You want loamy soil. Sandy soils drain too fast and clay suffocate roots. Also, is there any perlite in the mix? MJ plants love/need well draining aerated soil. Without perlite, I don't see how you would accomplish that.

    Second thing, what is your pH? Soil pH, feed water pH and runoff pH. Alot of growers don't keep up with this shit but it is imperative to know these things for when problems arise..like you are in now.

    Help us help you. Give us more info on your grow and we will try our best to point you in the right direction.

    The ground soil is healthy. The patio plus has perlite. and for the ph i just give it filtered water no problems have happened with that. lets see the seed was a bagseed and about a month and a half ago i had to take off a few leaves cuz of nute burn thats about all the info there is. heres a pic http://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-...42561482_n.jpg not the best but better than nothing. taken about a week ago
