Runt Plant HELP ME PLEASE

Hey guys,

This is my FIRST grow and I know I'm doing ALOT of shit wrong and will get flamed but regardless I need help/opinions.

First of all I'm in an asian country where this shit is highly illegal and we dont have head shops or grow shops and I can't read any of the info on the package, so bear that in mind.

Okay, I got autoflowering lowryder #2. The soil is probably shit (I know, I know! no fox farms here). ALso I dont really know what's in the soil, it came from a walmart type store and is probably like miracle grow shit I see being flamed all the time. Also I STILL don't have a ph meter, well I do, but I can't find teh shit to calibrate it, so i'm pretty sure that could be a BIG part of the problem.

My Nutrients are good. I got this Orchid Bloom and Grow stuff and the NPK levels look like what i've seen recommened. Also the plant isn't showing "nutrient burning" as far as I can tell so I think it's going well on that front.

Finally my light is probably shit, but the best I could find. Its a 220v 100w cfl. I may get a second one too. Its probably too high up but I may adjust it. Its maybe 10-12 inches above the plant. and its 6400k.

okay so here's the deal. My plant is like 14-21 days old and its about 2 inches high. No bullshit. it has 10 leaves they look healthy enough, but being that this shit is suposed to flower in 9 weeks I'm pretty sure I'm fucked. I just started a new plant today beause this thing doesnt looks like it could produce more than a couple grams.

I'll post a picture of it in a couple hours when its out of its sleep phase. oh yeah and the lights are on 20x4s. The plant almost died or like started curling up from what I assume was lack of watering once cuz when i gave it water it came back strong.

Anyways PLEASE drown me with your knowledge experienced people. I may order some fox farm soil from the states for my next plant. and also order some ph calibration. But what else am I fucking up here?

I'll post the pics. Somebody save my baby! It's been 6 months since i blazed!

Pics would help and also knowing what is in the soil. But, for starters CFL light can be very close to the girls. I keep mine about 2 inches away, no probs. Also, at least 1 more if not several more lights, you can never have too many. I would also go to an 18/6 schedule or at least 20/4. Growth spurts tend to come in dark phase and Triches definately form in darkness. Good luck.

Hello from USA. First of all light should be on 24/7 speacialy with one cfl 100. You need at least 400w to sustain life and growth. Light shoulb about 2 inches above. I use reagular potting soil and miracle grow. Just a couple of suggestions. This is my Penny at 36 day into veggie. Check it out Good Luck

Not sure where you get your info but you don't need 400 w to substain life lol I have done 6 plants under 150 watts...wasn't amazing but they gave bud. and i would go with olias, 20 on 4 off or 18 on 6 off just like your body the plants like time to rest to repair and grow. This being said running constantly works but in my experience rest time gets better results. Good luck with your first grow!

Hey Guys thanks for the advice,
I'll post pics in an hour or so when she's done sleeping. Maybe I'll switch over to the 18/6 to give it more growing time. Will this little thing still produce bud u think?

Also for the lights what should I upgrade to? I've heard getting another 100w cfl wouldn't increase my lumens because they don't add up, they would just hit the plant from a different direction? Should I try to bump up to 150w? Anyways I think picks will help but this thing is so short but PACKED with leaves.. Its strange looking. Never seen a plant look like this in any fo the pics I viewed and some guys are BIG by 30 days. Mine will not be nearly the size of healthy lowryder pics i've seen

hey jon, try looking at some of the grow knowledge in this link
