Not growing?

I'm really amateur, this is my first plant! I used Critical feminised seeds (RQS) and 50 w cool white 6500K led panel. This is my 4 month old plant and it is 25cm only. I used RQS Easy Boost, 15 liters of good soil, the watering is OK and the led working 24/7. What's the problem? It's ready to flowering cuz stopped growing or should I wait?

Quality soil? What kind? Looks like dirt from my back yard in a cardboard box.

Not enough light and you are growing in what looks like dirt, not soil. The cardboard box will also promote the growth of mold and mildew so I would get that transplanted into real soil, in a real pot that provides drainage, and replace the light with something more adequate.

A 50 watt panel would be good for a little over a square foot, and the plant definitely still fits under that footprint. But yes there will be more light needed if the plant were to grow.

If it's an auto then it's doneski because the clock was ticking and the plant wasn't growing and the most you would probably ever yield if the problems are corrected is a gram or two dry.

I agree with that, but I would not be surprised to hear that they are using a cheap panel that is advertised as 50W but actually draws 8W-10W. An HLG-65 would probably be perfect in that tight little grow space.

That dirt tho, it's not soil lol.

Looks more like sand. Hopefully thats just some sorta top dress? You think it's a thick layer of diaotomaceous earth? Seems a little dark for that though.

I think this is just a budget grow and they probably dug dirt up from the back yard. DE is much finer than that. It’s more like the consistency of a gritty powder

BTW, I just noticed OPs user name and I just laughed so hard.

That laugh, it might be all this thread is worth. lol 4 month old plant?

I am gonna say thats a hardy little plant if it's lived for 4 months in those conditions. Best course of action would be to put it in proper soil and it might be able to bust out some roots and start growing.

It is dirt, potting soil and perlite mix
