Small plants.

[JoeThePlanter]

Question. This girl has been growing for a approximately a month (give or take a day). The pictures I posted are 25 days apart. My question is: Is she growing slowly? I know there are countless variables that could change the growth of the plant but I was wondering on average.

Thanks

I'd say that looks quite good for 4 weeks, under fluros? Just remember, weeks 1-4 it can still be in seedling stage, which means it puts all it energy in root formation, im sure you'll see a growth explosion up top real soon!

 

It looks real healthy to boot! Nice job bmw!

Thanks man and yeah they are under fluros. As you know this is kinda my experimental grow for the first time. I made a pretty good soil mix out of some garden soil, peat moss, vermiculite, perlite, and some lime for pH. Give em water and getting ready to start with a very diluted mix of Pete's. Just used what was readily available to start a small grow and am almost fully prepped for the real deal. And I have two other plants one a little taller and one a little smaller. I might throw together a little growth journal to show that you truly can grow with any budget and skill level as long as you put the time and research into it.

Tons of appreciation for the help and advise!

I reckon the biggest skill any grower can have, is patience

 

Give em time to do their thing, and they'll reward ya with some fine smoko!

 

Look foward to reading your future endeavors with your nice little plants there mate

ijustdontcare....no slow growth there, looks about fine to me if u had the space id ditch the fluros and get a MH

 

4 weeks & 4 nodes high perfect as I agree with ijustdontcare, but there is a big MH in da sky; however, to maximize his growth rate of those short little inter-nodes (nice looking Indica plant you have yourself bmwswim5)

 

 

You might think about topping it although that would slow your growth rate down.

 

 

bmwswim5 is pic 1 the same plant taken earlier or another second plant ?

Yeah I'm about to get my hands on an HPS system.

Yeah that's the exact same plant. How come?

I've actually only heard of pruning/tipping/FIM'ing at older stages. I couldn't find anything about it at this you. Should I do it now? How would I go about doing it? (dumb question, I know. just don't want to fuck it up)

 

Thanks everyone again for the support and advise!!

yeah when u get a hps get a retro fitting mh bulb aswell (worth the money) that way u have the best of both worlds use the mh veggin and hps flowering, and only have to change the bulb not all the gear. and now about topping... check here
