Why The F*CK Aren't My Plants Growing!?!?!??

[thekinghasarrive]

i've had this plant outside for 2 weeks and then brought it into my aerogarden -been in the ag for about 3 days. They've barely grown at all and look like they're fuckin seedlings. i put in fox farm grow big nutes and i think i burned them. im so fuckin confused and terrible at my first grow. I wish someone could push me in the right direction. Please Hellppp!!!!!!

Fail... sorry

Looks like you burned then a little, when you first start feeding you want to dilute the solution greatly.It will slow her down a little but she will pick back up, be patient... Two bottom leaves are typical, you want to worry about the green new leaves, fllush them with just water for a week or two then back to your nutes, very diluted working your way up slowly....

stop giving them nutes now bro.....give them more light if you can and as far as growth goes they look fairly on schedule to me...probably took them a minute to adjust to the light change..keep goin and be patient

Make sure you read the instructions for your nutrients right; on how much per gallon of water. I recommend using the brand Hesi; its a good nutrients for first time growers and easy to use.

A. Aerogardens suck
B. You possibly gave the seedling too much nitrogen, it's easy with grow big. Go very low like 1/4 strength and work your way up.
C. Uhhhh Transplant shock? What was the plant in outside, how did you transfer it to the AG?

 

[thekinghasarrive]

the plant was in soil and i dug the seedling out washed it off and put it in the aerogarden.

Good job, there's your answer there.

 

[thekinghasarrive]

hahaha...shit oh well i guess

 

[pinkfloydy]

looks like you have it in a clear container....The roots need darkness man....

 

[NoWayOut]

Try to just give the plants water for a while and see if they rivive themselves, in the begin ing you really dont have to give them alot of nutes. just take it slow and feel you way through.

 

[thekinghasarrive]

does anyone know if i should keep lighting on 24/0 or 18/6 ????

 

[sublimed]

18/6 will promote stronger root growth, 24/24 will give you a faster grow.

could always go 20/4.

 

[dankiestdank]

18/6 okayyyy?

 

[jamesmadison]

From what I know, 24hrs is for clones and seedlings, 18 hr days are for veg. growth. So if your plants have a good root system or if they are at least 6-10 inches tall, theyare in their veg. stage.

 

[thekinghasarrive]

aight, i got a timer and put it to 18/6 i also added 1 42 watt cfl and 1 12/23/32 whatever that means..cfl. do you guys know if i can split the ag and 2 cfls into the timer or do i need to get a timer for each?

 

[sagincj]

i didnt read all the post so someone may have told you this already but your plant might be in shock from moving it outdoor to indoor. Kill the nutes like someone said and give it 2 weeks it will perk up and grow.

standard timers take 300w, so it can take the incandescent equivalent of your cfl's, so the 42w cfl's are equivalent to a 220w. so unless your timers can take more, you can only use one cfl per timer, otherwise you risk some blowouts.


dig?

I bought the cheapest timer i could find and i have 3 42 watters and 3 28 watters all hooked up to it. Its working great no problem at all. I say you will be fine.
