is cannabis supposed to look like that???? what am i doing wrong??? they look so bushy and droopy and i feel like they haven't grown lately.....

the pic of the thermometer is average temperature at the top of one of the pots (6 inches from bottom of box), it can fluctuate a couple more degrees up because of the lights but not so much....

they are in 5.5 inch square pots, and are under 460 watts of cfl lights which are about 1-3 inches away from the tops.

i water about every 3-4 days and are under 18 hours of daily light.

btw my babies are a month old today!....

You might be watering toooo much claws leaves are overwatering, look at how droopy it looks lay off water check before you water stick you finger in cause it could be wet under the top. And might be too close to light and are you giving it any nutes?

i have a moisture meter and i water when it says the soil is dry, but it ends up being water one day, 2 days dry. I am feeding with a 1.6-1.8-7.4 base and a 2.8-0-0 grow part every other water. I put my finger between the light and the leaves and it doesn't burn me, the bulbs don't get too unbearably hot in my box.

how would i know how much to water? i just add water (about 1/2 - 3/4 liter) to the plants and i hold them up and let the excess water drip from the drainage holes until no water comes out...

thank you very much in advance!

pots are getting small..I'd say wet or bound...Check the biggest and transplant.

they havent grown lately b/c they are in tiny pots. and you should be watering more like every 5-7days.

m8..that is a CRAZY NPK, it's like a bad flower with way too much K, get a better feed m8, or you gunna struggle, and feed them with weaker amounts of nutrients, more often. GL

That sure is a strange NPK mix, get some better stuff. they also do look over watered.

one thing, mary is beautiful, no matter what deficiencies. anyway, she looks root bound and over watered. re pot into bigger pots and water when top of soil is dryish with less water than what your using now. she will make a recovery soon bro!
