Slow growth , oldest planted on 5July.

Little help , I planted my first two on 5 July , the third on 12 July and the remaining four on 17 July. Is this normal growth ? I attached a picture of my nutrients and standard vivosun light as well and I'm growing in loam. Temp stays between 71 and 78 with RH on average 62%-70%. 24 hour light with a fan , exhaust , dehumidifier , and heater just incase. Let me know if I'm lacking somewhere.

I appreciate the feedback, light is lowered !
Depending how high you had it, you may want to drop it gradually. Like if you were at 3' over, drop it to 2' over for a few days, and then drop it again if tyhey are handling it ok....But they should eat it up!!

Good look. They look good otherwise.

You need more light........100w light is not enough for your space........the result is a stretched and spindly main stalk.
Based on your pics, it looks like you have approx. a 3x3 tent..........you should have at least double to triple the amount of light you have.
Welcome!

Thank you, I did order another light for the space it is due to strive tomorrow. I noticed the stretched stalk as well. Hopefully, that help my growth as well

Here’s my secret, I have mephisto autoflower since July 3rd that are double yours in size and starting to flower. I don’t even use a tent till it’s 5 weeks old, I use a closet for all my plants seedling to vegging stage. I use three 300 w Home Depot lights…. 3 of them together using a little clip on desk light and when they get taller I move the lights up more on the next shelf which is higher. This will shoot your seedling and veggie str8 up, this is the most important stage for me because it will allow you to have monsters. When they are like 4 to 5 weeks they should be nice and tall plants. I did the same mistake on my first grow, I didn’t lower my lights and I have adjustable lights.. I just assumed they were strong enough, they finished decent just no where as nice as my yields after this assured method. Long story shirt I’m able to put each seedling or two under a 300 watt bulb, and it shoots straight up better then the grow tent (cuz you can control the lights easier) by the time pre flower hits you can put the plant in the tent and not worry about weak lighting and all. Best of luck
