Hello, this is my first time growing, an I picked a 60 day lemon from dna. She is 4 weeks this sunday an the priblem is I feel shes growing really slowww. Shes really small for a fast growing strain lol.

Basiclly my set up.

-Inside cabinet 9 23w 7 2700k an 2 5000k bout 7 inchch away trying to strech itn
-Ph is 6.8 high but cant find a damn store with it also tryn to save up for hps/led
-A 10" fan blowing on her.
-Alumanum foil tha inside.
-in miracle grow organic soil mixed with
-perilite 40/60 per/soil
-no added nutes.
-gave her a very lit amount of miracle grow veg food.


This is my first time an did all my research on growing on a slow ass phone, an jobless atm so dont have alot of funds n doing this for fun n expience. dont bash me. Ive noticed 3 days ago the white hair or bud spots I believe
dont know temp, but feels 85ish I know to hot. Any advice welcomed.

Pic is kinda too bright. Aluminum foil is a big no no. Reflects more heat than light. Look at buying emergency blankets if you're strapped for cash. You need to bring in cool air and exhaust hot air. A fan blowing on the plant will not suffice. You're just blowing the same hot air around. Like you said 85F is a bit too hot. Baking soda and vinegar lower and raise ph. I would buy an thermometer. Ambient temps may seem 85F, but directly under the lights could be 5-10 degrees hotter.

Looks a little nute burned tbh, but with one pic from the top it's kind of hard to tell.

if its 4 weeks from seed germination then its not too small ,your on about the 7th set of leaves and she's squat. the ph for soils is 6.5 -6.8 so you're good. it definitely looks a bit heat stressed get a vent on the go for some fresh air at the bottom of the grow space and in the top to let the heat out. you want to up the nitrogen intake of the plant it looks like its running low by the looks of the bottom set of leaves. do not try to stretch it it will do it by its self when you flower. the more you stretch now the weaker the stems get and the more spindley the buds will get

Hey mate, shes looking pretty good for 4 weeks. You will find the next 4 weeks much more interesting :leaf: :weed: Leaf colour looks pretty good too, sure a little yellow in places but thats to be kinda expected, well not an issue anyway.

Have you started feeding, if you havent (start now) make it small then build up slowly each water (remember..slowly), get a 3ml dripper to measure out the nutrient dose acurately. Watch the leaf colour, it will tell you when its had enough

Your temps if around 80-85 are ok for veg, when it gets to flower you want them under 80.

Luck bro

I does look good. But looks a little short to me. Maybe my plants are just monsters but they are around 1.5 feet at 4 weeks. Check out my profile i have pictures of my plants at 4 weeks. Mine are just starting to bud (at 4.5 weeks now). But other then that it looks good, nice colour and it shoud shoot up in the next two weeks to double its size if it is indeed a healthy plant. Like you said its your first time and trial and error works well, this site is amazing for new growers too, you can learn alot. My growing journal for this year is on my profile aswell, you could have a read since there auto's as well. Good luck and happy growing

Did you put the seedling directly into the big pot? If so, that's why it is so small.

When new seedlings first go into dirt the plant expends nearly all it's energy putting
down a rootball big enough to support the plant. Until the roots reach the inside walls of the pot
there won't be much visible growth. Transplant first into a small 4-inch pot for 10-14 days.
The roots will soon reach their size so the plant can start growing above ground. You will get
faster growth and a bushier plant.
