Girl Scout Cookie soil 5 gallon grow pots ILGM seedling fertilizer 1/2 teaspoon/gallon solution indoor Vivosun VS1000 70 degrees F humidity 50% hurricane inline duct fan I planted these seeds May 1st. The healthy plant looks very short and squatty to me. The other one has been stunted for 3 weeks. ![IMG_1864](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/0/c/a0cd586ef2cb97149f9c146a6a325c525683ec24.jpeg) ![IMG_1867](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/8/b/7/8b7887f4ff3f1c3b426abc0ae4ada73b3419884b.jpeg) ![IMG_1866](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/9/9/f/99f7bb10f46bcdf8a4a20f92c105068595a761e4.jpeg) ---

2 days ago. I have lost several seedlings by overwatering so I’ve tried to be super careful. I watered each plant with approximately 6 oz. ---

@awgarner be careful not to overcompensate in the other direction now. They look real dry. ---

Shes hungry. Shes in a big pot so remember the soil gets drier quick. ---

It is pictured here. I’ve struggled with tacking leaves almost through the entire grow. Now there is clawing, which I’ve read could be due to nitrogen toxicity. I gave the plant a 1/2 gallon of plain water 2 days ago and I’d like to flush again, but it takes forever to dry out and I don’t want to overwater. The nutrients I’ve used are the ILGM protocol. I was using nutes every time I water until about a week ago. Because of the tacoing I moved the LED light to the top of the tent with a 25% intensity. Any suggestions would be welcomed! ---
