6 weeks in, only 4 inches tall

Hi everyone

High. :thumbsup:

Anything you have added to the soil lime and peat moss

Why? The lime I can understand, as Fafards is pretty acidic. Most peat-based potting mixes are going to be acidic unless buffered. But why the additional peat moss? It's ph is something like 4.5ish.

Lighting source and distance from plant 150w HPS & 2 CFL, 18"

Too far away. 12-16 inches is where I keep my 400w HPS, depending on maturity. CFL's don't work much past 6 inches or so.

Do not add anything else that will make the soil more acidic. You'll stunt or kill the plants.

Soil probes are crap, so don't put much stock in their accuracy. A ph pen is your best bet.

Rusty Trichome Reviewed by Rusty Trichome on 12-15-2010. 6 weeks in, only 4 inches tall Hi everyone, first time poster and grower here. I have two different seeds planted (rocklock/lemonskunk) and they are both having the same problems. These guys sprouted about 6 weeks ago and seemed to be growing well (albeit somewhat slowly) under CFLs for the first two weeks. Then I added a 150w HPS. I had about 6 leaf sets on each plant, but eventually the tips started drying up and dying, at the same time the plant just stopped growing. It did this for about 2 and half weeks. About a week Rating: 5
