HELP!! it stopped growing!!

[smoker4life]

My plant has been growing for the past two weeks in veg state and it is still only 1 inch tall!!!????? It is still sprouting new leaves and they are growing each day because I'm monitoring it everyday so I do see progress but it is sooooo slow.

Currently its under a 400 W MH light and it is in a solution of 1/4 strength GH product line nutes. I even use superthrive in about 1 drop for my whole thing. Its in a 3 gal bucket.

What can I do to get this thing started again????? I know its not nute lockout because the plant isn't exhibiting signs of nute lock and its not overwatered b/c the grow wool isn't soaked. So what do I do????

is it a clone?

I don't understand why you are still using 1/4 strength nutrients?

You are out of the seedling stage and are in veg stage now. I'm guessing but how hot is it in your area at the top of your plants? Give them some food, nothing grows without food. Little food will equal little plants.

Raise the light a little and the plant will reach for the light and stretch for you.

ok well my plant is exactly 18 inches (1 1/2 foot) away from the 400 Watt MH light. It is only 1 inch tall but 2 weeks into vegetative stage. I am now using full stregnth GH hydro solution. The water is warm, but not hot. PPM about 850. Air temp is anywhere from a low of 75 to a high of 90 degress at any given moment depending on night or daytime. It started to have some algae on it but I treated it with hydrogen peroxied (3% h2o2) and the algae is looking much better already. I put in 3 drops of superthrive as well to help recovery and growth.

What should I expect now that I've done this??? what are some things I should look for??

by the way, my plant is in a 3 gallon tank with an airstone at the bottom of it. It is NOT a clone, from seedling.

How hot is your water you are giving them? Water temperature is critical to promote good growth. Add glass to your hood and remove the air from the area to save the heat. You need a fan moving the air around in the area too. As well as bring in fresh air in from the outside and exhausting the heat from the room.

I got a fan blowing and circulating constantly in the room.

Is it ok for my leaves to be drooping a bit??? It seems like my plant it growing more outward than upwards too
