Well I tried to grow once before using a 400w HPS/MHS system. My first grow failed due to high temps and lack of ....knowledge.
So I took some time away and then I got the itch to try again so I made some modifications to my grow closet, added a 500 CFM fan that blows air out and added a passive intake on the other side. This time around I decided to try CFL to keep the temps down as well.
I am using 12 CFL bulbs ranging from 23-27 watts and a mix of 2700k to 5500k spectrum.
Here is a rough time line:
May 16th- Planted from sprouts.
May 26th- First water with nutes
May 31st- Second water with Super thrive.
May 31st- Switched to 12/12
June 14th- transplanted to bigger pot
June 15th- I flushed due to growth stopping
June 18th- Water with nutes.
As you can see from the pictures she is pretty small. I wanted to keep her smaller and start flowering early because I have read about how plants will double their size during flowering.
However it seems like she has really stopped growing much at all and I am not sure why. The first set of pictures were taken on 6-17-10, the latest were taken 6-24-10. You can see only a little bit of growth and you can also see the browning/yellowing of the fan leaves.
I am looking for some advice and feedback on what you guys think.
Do I have a problem that is causing slow growth?
Is there someting specific causing the yellowing/browning? Possible nute deficiency?
I did a PH test of the soil and as you can see in the picture it's about 7, I would like to drop it but not really sure how to change soil PH.
How many weeks do you think I have left?
