slow growing need help

[dc136077]

so my plants are nearing a month old believe it or not and this is all i got
I've been using 18/6 light pretty consistently, sometimes more but hardly ever less, keeping them watered and using miracle gro potting soil
im using the stupid phillips agro grow 120 watt light so I feel like that's the problem but you guys are the experts. Im not trying to have a big yield, just a nice personal stash.. anyway let me know if you have any suggestions. thanks guys

Your light is waaay too far from the plants. They are spending all of their energy stretching for the light. Lower that light to about 6 inches from the top of them and as long as you watch for any burning, they should start to fatten up. Good luck!!! :hippy:
amirite?

Another thing you wanna try next time, besides puttin lights closer down to em, is maybe let folks here know what temperature you had goin on in there.

Hon. I ain't no expert but those are pretty spindly looking if your ambient air temp is anywhere over 55degF for more than 7 hours a day.

Consider finding a warmer place maybe. I'm a noobie too but it looks like they've been chillin a lil bit to chilly too much. To me anyway.

youre probably right its been pretty chilly here in the northeast and they probably need to be warmer than i do .. my apartment can def get cold during the day when im not home.. im probably gonna start a new grow now that its warming up.. thanks for the input so far guys!

Somebody more expert than me will prolly be able to confirm how Miracle Grow soil is the best for adding to your garden soil but not so great if you are using containers, I hear.
