THIS IS MY SET UP
GROW CLOSET: IS ABOUT 4 FEET TALL, FOR NOW IT IS 2 1/2 FEET LONG BY 2 FEET WIDE.
LIGHTS: 4 20 WATT 2700K 1300 LUMANS, 1 23 WATT 2700K 1600 LUMEN'S. I ALSO HAVE A 13 WATT 65OOK ON THE WAY.
SOIL: EARTHGRO SOILLESS MIXTURE.
NUTES: NONE RIGHT NOW BUT NEXT WATERING WILL BE MG 27/6/18. 1/4TH STRENGTH PER MILK GALLON.
H20: TAP UN-PHD WATER. UNTIL STRIPS COME IN MAIL.
SHE IS ON HER 4TH NODE RIGHT NOW. I HAVE ADDED SOIL A FEW DAYS AGO TO MAKE SOIL UP TO THE EMBRYO LEAVES.(HEARD IT MAKES IT STRONGER) I AM GUESSING THAT SHE WOULD BE ABOUT 3.5 INCHES IF I DIDN'T ADD DIRT.
HER EMBRYO LEAVES FELL SHRIVELED AND I CUT OFF WITH SHARP SCISSORS 3 DAYS AGO

OK SO I REALIZE THAT I AM WE WOULD SAY UP TO PAR WITH ALL THE GROWING TOOLS AND STUFF. I AM NOT RICH BY FAR SO I HAVE TO GET LITTLE BY LITTLE. MY QUESTION OR QUESTIONS ARE 1. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST FACTOR OF SHORT PLANT. WHY?
SHE IS 18 DAYS FROM POPPING SHELL. MOST PICS I SEE THE SAME DAYS OLD ARE WAY TALLER AND THE LEAVES ARE BIGGER. WHY? ITS LIKE I GOT A DWARF PLANT. SHOULD I WORRY?12002985_886375981470112_1635966428701213938_n.jpg12039670_886375954803448_2047047390605777845_n.jpg

you should be vegging under 6500k lighting ....about 100w-150w per sqaure foot(true wats not equivalant of watts ....2700k is for flowering ...u can still grow under these str8 from seed however your skipping vegg (the period when ur plant grows and puts on leaf and branch mass) and going str8 to flower

u wont end up with much of a yeild if any under your current conditions/// also u should think about a better brand of nutes then Miracle gro... they arent really meant for weed....although some growers use it.... check out a 3 part feeding system like , fox farm , floragro , advanced nutrients , or sumthing simple like some kind of base nutrient/// at some point ull also need cal/mag , and Superthrive can bring a plant back from certain death,,,, i love it.

This is more of a experiment and experience grow. When i get everything i need ima buy some good name brand seeds and grow for real. I forgot to say these are bag seeds that i am using.

Have you started nutes yet on those? They look a little yellow like they've been burned or something maybe MG soil
