    I started my ladies in sterilized soil then I switched to fox farms ocean soil and it does not seem to be growing after the transplant. This is my first attempt. Ive created a homemade grow box with two exhaust fans, two intake fans, a dehumidifier and six 23 watt cfl bulbs/natural daylight. She is in a cloth pot. The ph levels are around the 6.5-7 but the soil ph after watering is between 4-5. Humidity levels are between 50-69% temperature is between 72-84 degrees. I have not put any nutes. The leaves have yellow spotting and they feel very dry. It has been in this spot for a little over two weeks. Im not sure the strand. Can someone give me a few pointers as to what I am doing wrong...all info is appreciated​

First they look OK to me. Maybe some minor crap but nitpickers will point those out. How long since transplant? Some plants will not go into true transplant shock but will shock anyway. No new growth or very slow and then adios - they will take off. I have an indica planted in Spring indoors here in AK. The dog dug her and her cohorts up. Repotted any possible survivors and moved them upstairs where they were then savaged by my kids ferrets - TWICE! Finally locked away, a light fell and guillotined the largest plant that had been topped and forked. Killed 3 others crushing them and this little indica was a runt. No growth for like 4 weeks and my girl said to mercy kill her. In 6 weeks the buds will be so big on her they'll be like ping pong balls. She doglegged like a bud stem from the day she was mauled the first time. But she lived and gave me a bunch of clones too. They are tough.

NO NUTES! FF has nutes. Read the bag. Water only for a month at least. From experience. Light - lots of it. Air - get a fan on them where they are slightly waving in the breeze. Maybe a bag of ExHale up high for your CO2. Then relax.
 
It's been about 7 day since the transplant .. I have two fans on them already do u think I should add more? The guy at the hydro store told me just to water my ladies for a month then add nutes .. And what's the bag of ExHale? Oh and I wanted to start watering with super thrive .. Is it to early?

put your hand 6'' from plant and if hot move hand a inch at a time away
if it dont burn your hand it wont burn plant
your light are to far
i use a 400 watt hps closer then that
thats why your plant isnt growing

that plant is probably sorta flimsy though and stretch isnt good either.. id lst it and bring that light down to like 3 inches away from the plant.... youll prolly have to raise the light mad fast though so it doesnt burn, i got 55 watt cfls like 1 inch from my tops.. fab you use cfl's for veg?..
