I'm not sure if people are just pretending their plants are growing faster than what they are but I doubt it, and someone I know in life keeps saying that when he did his they grew so much faster, I doubted him at first but now it seems like he may of been telling the truth :/

I'm using 3 lights in a tent and growing 4 plants, the plants are around 30 cm away from the lights except for my tallest plant which is around 10 cm away from the light

the lights I am using are 2 300 watt dual spectrum cfls and 1 600 watt hps, I switch the plants places around so they all share the same amount of different light equally, at the moment there is one plant under one of the cfls 2 plants under the hps and another plant under the other cfl so they are getting basically a light each except for the middle two which are sharing the hps

i'm using biobizz all mix soil with big buds liquid nutes, there are very little yellow parts of the plants so they look pretty damn healthy, this is my second grow

I leave my water open 48 hours before using it so dechlorinate it

4 strains, best one is cheese-wreck which is the tallest one in the pictures, worst one is grapefruit which is the smallest one there

the other two I am growing (they look middleish compared to those two) are blue monster and lemon skunk

I bought them from miracleseed

Next grow i'll buy seeds from a different site and see how they go, any other ideas?
 
another thing what are your temps at, im no pro but from lookin at the pics it kinda looks like your leaves are curling upwards which is usually caused by temps being too high but i also read some were that higher temps cause faster growing in veg so dunno
 
its weird for a two month old plant thats still in veg to look that small, was your first grow similar?
 
My first grow I was using 6 20 watt slim bulbs so I can't compare it to that... It took around 6 months before I even put into veg but yeah everything was a bit out of place that grow it was basically a trial and error grow this grow i've had everything from the start

the temps are really nice in there, it's about 20 degrees celsius / 70 degrees fahrenheit
 
id say bunk genetics.thats what it looks like to me. miracle seeds who are they . googled them i cant find nothing. try speedy seedz or attitude next time.
 
Sorry I said the wrong name, I always get confused with it, I bought them from here:

Code:
http://goldenseed.co.uk/

They got good reviews that's why I got them from there but I guess the reviews came from inexperienced people or people who just got better seeds than me

thanks for the sites, i'll buy from one of those next time
 
ph? how often watering? temps? how much and how often are u watering? how often are you feeding? how far is the light from the plants? can u put the back of your hand where the top is and it not getting very uncomfortable?
 
ph is fine, watering every 5 or so days usually when I see the first sign of drooping in the leaves, I water until it drips out of the bottom of the pot, I feed every watering (very little yellowing in the plants, maybe 1 or 2 leaves) Lights are around 30 - 10cm away and not in a burnable distance, and yep my hands just stays the same as anywhere in the tent in terms of heat
 
I wouldnt wait till they droop probally, just remember how heavy it feels if you pick it up when the leaves start to droop this one last time and then compare how heavy it feels after a good watering. its really easy to tell once you get used to it. Why dont you have those pots full of dirt? I just looked and noticed that, the size of the root system is extremely important when it comes to the size of the plant. I'm not saying you cant get a big plant with a smaller container but its alot easier and faster growing big plants when they are allowed as much root space as possible.
 
have you pruned the plant thinking it would promote new growth??? how much fert? tips look burned.. not too bad... drop by my thread and hit me up there... did you say tent grow? i have done well with tents... id like to know a lot more about your grow.. its getting too late to post any more but tomorrow i have all day... hit me up well get these babies growing again... but go ahead and start some more seeds... we can get those caught up while you practice on the older ones... sometimes too much stress can turn the plant hurmie as a survival tactic so sometimes its best to start over but not throw the fucked up ones away... its never a bad thing to have practice plants around... i have 6 experimantal plants growing as we speak... doing all kinds of wierd stuuf this grow...
 
Thanks for the replies

@ darkdestruction420 - i'll take your advice on the watering, it makes more sense than my way, I made a big mistake by not putting maximum soil in there, i'll add more when I get the chance but yeah I also noticed that as well, cheers

@ Amphibiosaardvark I use around 10 grams of big bud liquid in 2 litre bottles the tips aren't really burnt it's literally just like 2 leaves out of all of them, sadly I can't start more plants as I don't like the idea of growing more than 4 at a time + I don't have the space, I don't think they have been locked because i've been careful with the nutes, I started low then gradually built higher and higher
