growing to slowly

[jkeabs]

hi its my first grow so this is all new to me. tryed to research as much as possible but cant work out why they are growing so slowly.
its been a month since planted, in which 2 have dyed due to heat i believe, i have now moved the lights 4 inches aboves plants.

the two plants left look healthy, but r only 3 to 4 inches high after a month, n e ideras of what this could be?

the setup is in a wardroabe about 4 foot x3x6, painted white
1 x 125w cfls
20/4
fan
temp about 25
arthurer bowels potting soil with 1/3 perlite
water when totally dry which is normally 3 days or less

on the 3rd week i have started to use fish blood n bone food which u put ontop of soil and meant to hoe in, but have just been sprinklin on top and watterint , not sure this is the best to use but not much choice where im living. will this be alright or should i ivest in liquid fert.

have also repotted in to final pot which is quite big 10 inches, is this alright or will it slow growth, it says on some forums to repot just once as it disturbs it but recent found other opinions.
any info would be helpful, cheers guys.:jointsmile:

the seeds were nebula feminized

Not enough light.

Is fan exchanging air or just circulating?

Little warm but not bad.

Not familiar w/ the soil- could you post ingrediants?

Will take quite a while for those fertilizers to be available to the plant- must break down.

Mostly not enough light.

I am also pretty new at this but I would suggest getting a liquid fert, also a micronute solution like earth juice microblast (check out Earth Juice Fertilizers - Where to Buy - U.S. for stores near you). Anything to get the nutes to the roots and force growth.

Also like mentioned by rhizome the fan might not be pulling in enough C02 which will stop growth. Finally definitely want more light.

hi ya guys, cheers for advice, will def shop about for liquid ferts. how much do they cost roughly n last for?
the soil is just a general potting soil in uk , it did not specify n,p,k but it wasnt cheap.
at the minute i have got one more light, which is used for two that hav just planted and one which is disabled, quite like to c how it turns out.
it is just a circulatin desk fan.

do u think i should concentrate on just the two big plants, 1 light on each. ?

was hoping to harvest before christmas cause goin away, but its not looking very likely

I just ordered Jacks 20-20-20 liquid fert online for $16.00 for 4lbs. The microblast is around $10.00 to $15.00 online. As far as the light goes I didn't see how many plants you had total, but I would say one of those lights for each big one should work out. They will probably say you need a exhaust fan, but I'm running my shit outta a closet with a fan also so don't listen to me on that one.

This is the size of the biggest after 1 month, even with little light would of thought or hoped it would be bigger.
has ne one had good results from a deformed plant?:rastasmoke:

hi been hunting for fert online, and the easiest 1 i can get hold of is a general 20,20,20 disolvable one for vegetables etc will this be okay?

also gonna buy some smaller cfls to hang around side hopefully this wil help.

Cant wait for my first yield :smokin:even if it is a long way of.
After all that time of loving and lookin after them better than i do myself, than u set lit to them, and im sure it wil make me the happiest gardener around.

he if ya got ne pics of plants around month old could ya post them please to get an idear of how fast they can grow, cheers.
