seems to be not healthy grown.. small leaves

Hello.. I got 2 plants indoor in a 400w lamp and I have a problem.. in the first 10 days everything was ok the plant growing normally the leaves were getting bigger and bigger and the plant higher!.. at about 15th day the plant started to have a stun growth and stoped growing so fast like was doin before... the leaves didnt grow up so much their too small for a 24th day plant like the hole plant is.. but the basic key phrase for my problem is the "small leaves"!.. bottom leaves start to be yello as well.. I hope I will upload some pictures soonn but untill then anyone has any idea why the plant has so much small leaves? (the plant still is greeen :) and seemes it want to be healthy but something is missing......... :)

Hi johnnevy2424 and welcome to rollitup. I dont 100% agree with BUDS but with out pictures this is hard to answer but I will give my college try. Usually growth stunt can mean two things either too much watering or nutrient lockout. Too much watering is easy to correct but will take at least a couple days for the plant to absorb the water you can always remove the first two inches of soil and add new soil if soil is how your growing. In hydro or coco mediums you don't see over watering. What you get instead is nutrient lockout which means that somewhere in your nutrient mixing something went wrong in which case you just flush (look it up in the forums) your plants and add new nutrients. There is also the possibility your lights are too close which can cause stress and cause stunting as well but that is not usually the case. As I said in the beginning it is hard to really know how to diagnose the problem. Also info on what kind of light and what medium your using would help. If your trying to get help include as much info as possible the more the better.

buds is most likely right. the available information says the pot is too small. at just under a month, if your growth was normal then you should be in a 1 gallon sized pot or higher.

Pics make it alot easier. Psychic plant diagnosis is tough. Buds very possibly is correct.

Hmm...have you fed them? if not then you should...Also make sure you aren't overwatering..it will make the bottom leaves yellow and droop just like what you have there.

Im getting a message from the Force...


FEED ME NITROGEN!

prepare a 1/2 str mixture of your preferred fertilizer with high nitrogen, and water them with it as you normally would, then DONT WATER for 3 days. over the next 3 days they will green up and get happy. once they are standing tall and ready for some action, repot them in 1 or 2 gallon sized pots and water them in with plain water. then dont do shit for 3 days! after 3 days they should be ready for more plain water, no nutes!!!! after that time has elapsed, give them another dose of 1/2 str nutrients from then on give them a weak nutrient solution every other regular watering til you are ready to flower. never give full str nutrients, unless your plants demand it by turning their lower leaves pale like that.

as long as you dont drown them or burn them with nutrients dope plants will grow happily with far less care than you want to give them. restrain yourself and they will do better.

otherwise, besides being nitrogen hungry, your plants look great for a month or so. give them more room for roots and low doses of food and youll be smoking in no time (six months)
