we need more details, whats your setup, what kinda water, how often do you water, how old, soil or hydro, temp., humidity, fan or not....


it could be overwatering though.

i suspected OW once i realized that i had given it a good watering the day before. its about a month old and it only about 2 1/2- 3" tall. its 7th set of leaves are about done and its starting its 8th set. i have 2 2000 lumens cfls on it: 1 is about 1-1 1/2" abouve the top of the plant and the other is about 4" to the side. there is a 5" desk oc. desk fan in there. there is no special watering or soil either. the space is 2 1/2' wide, 1' deep, and 2 1/2-3' tall. any tips to make this a sucsesfull harvest? when it comes around

hey Jonhnny.. so is it over watering? you have 7 set of leaves...? wow .. sounds good.. Let the soil dry.. If you can transplat.. Do it.. and add lots of perlite.. Perlite is this white airy rock they sell at Home depot... cheap stuff 3 dollars for a big ass bag... 14 dollars for a bag that you could put a dead body in..

anyway... this stuff does not hold water , so when you mix it with soil it provides air for roots.. air is important!!!!!!!! : )

So it wont matter if you over water cause your soil will always have air in it... thanks to the perlite.... you should mix at least 30% perlite to 70% soil..... and you can even go as high as 50-50 no problem...


good luck

SMB SEE MORE MOTHER FUCKING BUDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love you

i think it was OW its doing better now after it dried out a little. about the soil im using a soil called THE ULTIMATE POTTING MIX it looks like its got some perlite in it ( looks like styrafome). its growing fast but not very tall , which is not a problem, but its only as tall as my zippo! this worries me for the fear of a small yeild. but small is better than none. i have some pics taken on my fone and set to my e-mail but i dont know how to post them on here can some one help?

There is a button.. just to the right of the "post quick reply button" it says "go advanced"

then you will come to a page ... you will need to scroll down a bit and click.. "manage pictures"... Now you just find the pictures on your computer and post them.. easy cheesy....


yeah,, alot of potting soil comes with some perlite mixed in it.. more perlite requires more watering but that means less chance of over watering.. and actually a good 50-50 mix is almost impossible to over water...

I assume you started from seed... cause you said your plant is so short.. it is probably an indica ... and will stay short until you flower... then it will stretch like CRAZY cause you are using cfls..

as long as your top leaves, new growth looks healthy and the newer fan leaves are growing bigger and faster than the previous set... you are FINE..in general!!!

look forward to seeing the PICS...

LOVE IS YOU
