First, are you letting the pots dry out some? It may be over watering, about the most common cause of stunted plants. If that may be, let it dry till you see the first signs of will then water. I've saved a few this way. What are your temps like? Get your space up to 75-80F for a few days, that can help also. And raise the light high for a few days, make em stretch a bit, then lower it again.

Other than this, not much I can think of.

So pop22 what advice would you give for someone weeks behind you I have a 450w viparspectra led on them with one 15w led on both. Any tips or ideas I would appreciate i should be getting my mega crop nutes today as of now I have the FF trio pack

Ok I got it at 81 put an extra fan in there also should I just turn off the bloom and leave the veg light on so it is not as strong and let them stretch that way

Well BD#2 is putting on some size now! I was hoping for some good Sativa stretch, got to make room for the big buds....hehe. The smaller girl may catch up. She's not flowering yet and is now about as big as #2 was just before flower. Here's hoping! I'm certainly hoping for a nice crop, been drooling over Blue Dream for a long time. I'm pleased with what I'm seeing!

The Jalapeno is bushing up nice too! She's got some flowers also. be interesting to see if she fruits while on 24/0 light cycle.

So they are all perked up now and looks like they are growing alot faster because they are drying out how long do u think I should wait now to water them? Maybe another day or two?

When you see the first pistils developing, that is the beginning of flower. She began to flower about day 25. The smaller plant is finally stretching and hasbegun to flower as of yesterday.

Lift the pots. when the pots feel light, water them. Another trick you can use when hand watering is to use 1/2 L per gallon of soil. I never water to runoff with plants that are in less than 3 gallons of soil, and in 3gal. or larger don't water to run off at all or at least not until the canopy is as wide as the pot.

The smaller plant in my tent is an example of over watering when a seedling. I just plain goofed lol! But you see she has recovered nicely.

Ok I was using a liter of water foe them I think I just need to water less frequently because I have that verculimite or however u spell it in it and that holds water. I'll wait till tomorrow to water again if they feel light so they get ample time. Well if yours are showing pistols in 24 days and my need to start growing because I'm at about day 18 or something like that haha

So it was weird yesterday they got sad looking all over again so the dirt felt dry I stuck pretty much my whole finger in there so this morning I gave them a liter of water each I really cannot figure out what's going on so when I get out of work I will be able to see if they just needed water since I let him dry out for 3 days if not I might just pull all these and start over with some kush Autos I got because I feel like this is going to be a waste of time electricity and money if these things don't freaking start growing a lot more

This morning they are now perked up and the only thing I changed I have a ventilation tube coming from the basement to cool down my area and I turn the fan instead of on for Back Down 2 and they are all perked up again so maybe something with that are or maybe it was too cool even though the thermometer was saying right around 79f to 81 so hopefully they keep it up. Just makes me wonder now if that was the issue we will see in the days coming

Give them a few more days, I think they are looking better. Water then again in a day or two, lift the pots, you'll know. And yes, higher temps may helpbut no higher than 80F. 75-80 should be good.

Day 19 have no idea why they are not growing any faster. Did not water for like 4 days thought it was helping but really dident watered today one liter a piece not sure what to do from here ready to throw them out feel like I'm just wasting electricity
