That picture is one for the plant abuse section. Here's my take, short and sweet:

1. Listen to Weezard and TPJ. Make them comfy.

2. Get a bag of Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Transplant immediately removing any old soil possible without damaging roots. Easy does it. 10 - 14 days in FFOF with straight pHed water. You can use an aquarium meter kit but note it will not be accurate when you add nutes due to discoloration of water. There is a work around for that too. No nutes or feeding until week 2 or 3 of flower.

3. Remember, the damage will never heal. Look to new growth to determine success. Also remember that any changes to environment, root zone or feeding takes 3 - 5 days to be expressed with the plant.

4. Leave it alone between watering (every 3-5 days in veg, a bit more in flower). Use the extra time to read up. The stickies here are good enough. See GanjaDigger for a very nice subject specific search engine that can help as you research. 420mag also has a very respectable FAQ section.
bigsby Reviewed by bigsby on . Slow growth problem.. do I change photoperiod? Hello I'm a little new to this and this is my first grow. I've been having problems with the PH of the sustrate and my plants have been growing very slowly, so slow they're in their 25th day of veg grow and they tallest one is only 12 cm tall. Theyre meant to grow for a week more, but I dont think they will be taller than 15 cm. I'm not sure if I should let them stay in veg for a few more weeks, with the problem that I dont have a lot of time and the bill will also raise. Please I need Rating: 5
