right now i have a 4'x6' grow room with 4 boxes each with 3 seedlings
for lights ive got 2 40w wide spectrum t12's and a 100w hps
no nutes atm just organic top soil/perlite and water

most of these guys sprouted up right away and shot to about 3" and stopped.

its been almost 2 and a half weeks and they are still babies not even ready for transplant

is there something wrong or am i trying to rush it
and sorry about the lack of pics

NICEE glad to hear it bro, i think it has to do with the life cycle of the plant and when it loses its cotyledon's
lemme know how your grow turns out ^^

My friend is having the same issue. It has been over a week since germination was finished, and it just stopped growing after about day 4. It seems to be growing now, but really really slowly.

Having an exact issue.. Adding a seaweed extract to see if that promotes anything.. Got the same soil mix. Also going to so trans. to larger containers to ensure its not a root growth issue or some shit

I hate potting mix that has too much bark in it, like yours looks.
What potting mix is it?
Do you have a fan blowing on them?
Do you have sufficient drainage holes?
Are you over watering?
It looks too wet.:blsmoke:

yep just be be patient, they do look very wet and that could slow it down for sure. i grow outdoors and i accidently overwatered, week later after it dried up the soil was boneee dry but plant rocketed, roots like some oxygen from time to time i let it totally dry out before watering!

if yuo are growing indoor its not light, another problem for me was there wasnt much good sun over taht week, slowww growing!

Now am not an expert but i grew 16 plants outside where its tropical, they all shared that same slow growth but just make sure you trans. to a bigger pot, 5 gal. will do just fine. for now that plant only needs water and plenty of light, hope that helps.
