PHVZ Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hi there I am busy with my first legal outdoor grow and it feels like my plants are growing very slowly. I germinated my seeds at the end of november so the plants are about 6 weeks old now. But they are only about 12 cm tall. I just want to know if this is normal? All my previous grows were a lot bigger than this by week 6. I attached a photo of one of my plants. I just watered my plants that is why the soil looks so wet. But I try not to overwater them. Thanks in advance for the help PHVZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 How is the sunlight in that spot and more importantly, what soil do you have the plant in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHVZ Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 It is in direct sunlight for most of the day. The soil that I use is professional potting mix from culterra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stuff is terrible for any plant. Very poor aeration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHVZ Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 Thank you very much. What would you recommend. Coco and perlite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420SA Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Depends how you wanna grow. Coco and perlite is a hydroponic medium and needs a stringent feeding regime. If you wanna grow in soil get some freedom farms soil if you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer420 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 There's your issue right there. That stuff is terrible for any plant. Very poor aeration I've used the same stuff and still sometimes do, however, add peat and perlite Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
