Stunted auto plant 6weeks old

From the beginning it was a slow grower I don’t know 100% the reason it may have been many things it gets very hot where I live up to 119 and where I grow it up to 90 and the humidity has been pretty low it’s my first time so still trying to learn.



I added the humidifier later to boost it now it’s been sitting at 40 ish
Just wondering if there’s anything I can do to boost it or help it before it starts to flower

Youre doing everything you can do already. Higher humidity if possible and try to keep your temps below 90. Looking good !

What soil and nutrients are you using? What lighting do you have and how far away from the plant? I see a little nute burn on the tips :v::call_me_hand:

I’m using peat moss, worm castings and perlite with Gaia green 444 and im using a 50 watt light and it’s about 15 inches away from the top of the plant

Do you know your ppms goin in and coming out by any chance? And the ph of your water/feed

I’m not sure what the ppm is but my ph sits in the 6 range I used ph strips

It needs to be between 6.4 and 6.8. I was just wondering if the stunted growth was from over feeding. I can’t tell you without a ppm reading. If you don’t have one get one and a ph meter. There the most important tools imo. The leafs tips usually burn when it’s getting too much nutrients. We’re kinda fling blind if you get my drift. Your gonna be fine I’ve had some runts turn into monsters. Keep on keepin on! :v::call_me_hand:

Thanks man appreciate all the good feed back once I get the ppm meter what would be a healthy reading?

Here’s some info. :v::call_me_hand:


This is only a ballpark figure it will vary a lot

Need to get humidity up to 60-70. PH is important so the plant will absorb nutrients so 6.8 is a great number in soil. Your light is one of the most important pieces of equipment. You need a full spectrum led. Good luck with your grow.

I’ve been trying with my humidifier but the highest I’ve gotten consistently is 45 % and I’m using a pretty cheap light I got off amazon so I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the problem but I plan on moving it outside once it cools off

Unfortunately some are just like that sometimes it might not actually have anything wrong with it i had one literally grow in a v and produce about 2 grams thats just the genetics it expressed

Ahh man that’s most likely the case I was hoping for bigger yields but it’s all good I have some Photoperiods that I just bought I’ll probably plant those once I get close to harvest

Are you spraying the leaves with water? They look wet or something to me.

Ya I mist them every now and then to bring the humidity up

Maybe just me but I wouldn’t at this stage.
Let it get it’s nutrients from the soil. No nutrients in the water sprayed on. The plant will absorb it though. Force it to grow roots to absorb nutes and moisture.
Just my opinion.

Should have added humidity in box may be 43% but humidity on plant is 100%.

What would be good nutrients for this I just have fox farms grow big and Gaia green 444 and 284

@Mike2059 Fox farm has a trio that I used when I started out and I had excellent results.


Look at there website it has a feeding schedule use it and don’t go by what’s on the bottle. :v::call_me_hand:

You must live in a warm climate to be moving them outside in September. The leaves are falling where I live and it’s now in the 70 degrees range. Growing has its ups and downs but it’s really pretty easy. Good seeds from ILGM, a good light no less than 680watts (good for 3 plants) fans for circulating air, exhaust fan to pull fresh air in maybe a 5x5 grow tent a 2x4 can hold 2 small autos and good nutrients like jacks 321. You can find a lot of grow supplies on market place used for sale. Just purchase items as you can and before you know it you will be harvesting big buds to enjoy. Growing is addictive and it makes you strive to do better because it’s just beautiful. Oh and you need decent ph and ppm meters. It can be overwhelming at first and we tend to worry about our girls but I can’t think of anything I enjoy more than a nice beautiful girl
