ye, the yellowing leaves are most likely N defficiency. You should use a fert with higher N than P and probably K. Don't use too much in an attempt to speed up growth. If the plants aren't in too big pots then transfer to different soil and bigger pots as generally miracle grow is shit. The fact that it is short and thick is not a bad thing but 5 inches seems pretty tiny for that age, don't raise the lights, that wouldn't be the problem
amstron Reviewed by amstron on . 5 inches tall after 35 days? Help please! I am currently growing 1 plant in my closet using CFL's. I have six 100watt-equivalent CFL's. I started with 24/0 lighting, but after reading that 16/8 promotes better root growth I switched it to 18/6 (I didn't want to go all the way to 16/8). Now for my question: After 35 days, my plant is only about 5 inchest tall. It is a short, thick plant. Should I raise the lights up? They are currently about 3in from the top of the plant. Is this why it's staying so short? Also, I am having Rating: 5
