Did I goof?

[avon211]

I took my babies out of vegetative too early I think. I also pinched the tops to give more shoots. My plants are growing very slow and taking much longer to show me their sex. My ph is been maintained around 6.0 Res.temps are 65 in tub and air at between 55 night -80 day. What can I expect? smaller yields? I am growing Bubble Gum. I am into 3rd week and cannot determine sex yet. Leaves are small. I now have the CO2 on during day hours I am hoping this gives them some kick in the ass to get growing. Good to see Latewood back ...been a while since I read anything from him. Had me concerned.

55 is getting a touch chilly and how long has it been since you pinched tops?? both could relate to slow growth. Was the pinching done during veg or flower??

[LOC NAR on probation]

That is a temp swing.

What do you mean by 3 weeks ?

3 weeks into flower or 3 weeks old all together ?

3 weeks into flower and you should see white hairs.
3 weeks old and just out of veg and no white hairs is normal.

Why are you using C02 ?

If it is just to up it because of no ventilation be carefull. C02 can kill in a living area by flooding it.

If your using it to get to harvest early then you need to tweak things abit.

Tiny -I pinched the tops 2 weeks into veg. I than put them under 12hrs of light.Loc Nar I am talking 3 weeks into flowering. I still cannot see anything yet. As far as the CO2 I am just giving it a small amount since my grow is in a 2X4 room/closet. I do have air coming in for 1minute every 10 minutes. Should I hold off on the CO2 until the 5th week of flowering?

very this is my northern lights at three weeks.

Loc and Tiny got it right. At least 10 degrees too cold at night. And why pinch or top your girls? Try bending, tying down, or other low stress techniques. Both stresses r terrible for your flowering girls. And you should definately have all of your bud sites at least formed if not gettn chunky by third week.

Keep your temps between 65-70 degrees. Its perfect temps for the plant to do what's natural. Don't overthink it, just give it enough resources to flourish and relax. It is a weed, eitherway good luck on your grow. Keep us posted.
