Not having enough free lights.

It's all in the roots. That's the foundation.

@dbz Light is one factor that effect plant growth and development, do you know any other factors that may effect it? And which is the most significant influences on plant growth

@Dorian2 Yes, the roots is the foundation, absorbing water, inorganic salts and soluble small molecular organic matter in the soil, calcium, magnesium, etc. Which factor could help grow better roots?

A good soil with the base elements and a good microbial herd and fungi.

The overall environment with a dialed in feed program.

@SlappinAhoe Yeah, balance nutrients is very important.

One of the main factors would be proper environment, like others have noted. Soil structure, quality of lighting/amount of light, feeding schedule and attention to detail in the different stages of growth.

There are 4 main factors in growing a plant water,light, nutrients, temperature these four things effect the plant hormones that make it grow quickly or slowly

Light
Heat
Water
Nutrients
CO2 in atmosphere
Oyxgen in root zone
Pests

Root health, and access to carbon dioxide.

Shouldn't genetics also be included as a major contributing factor?

Personally I wouldn't include genetics as a growth factor, genetics affect the end result for sure but we can get good growth rates with from wild pollinated Afghani or Columbian brick seeds.

I've had some great yields of mids at best and some not so good yeilders but the weeds excellent.

@Lizard0420 Yes, water,light, nutrients, temperature is 4 main factors for plants growing. Are the air humidity, oxygen and carbon dioxide can offect plants growing greatly?

@PJ Diaz Yes, Pests can effect plants grow healthy.

Ph plays a factor for sure, bioavailability
Grow style, ie hydro, aeroponics etc

@RIS Yes, that's one of the factors. Growing like a big university needs to keep learning. And then growing better girls.

After reading many grow shares, I found that genetics are important. What do you think?

Genetics plays a huge part
