Hello is there any reason why my plant is growing slow? It's tiny and it's around a month old .I'm using tap water but lately only i have been using distilled water and it's still not improving . I don't over water or underwater and the soil is a 50|50 mix of ocean forrest and light wairror. im doing indoor 300w mars hydro led. I even flushed it with the distilled water once a week for about 2 weeks now and its not getting better at all.
the plant is outside so i can get a better photo of it.

It could be over watered. I would poke your pointer finger into the medium, to the 2nd knuckle and pull it out. If medium sticks to it, it has plenty of water. Also lift the pot. If it feels heavy, it has plenty of water. If it is lite, water it. It could also need some light nutes, by being flushed. Water/feed less....more often. Let the medium dry out a bit. The lower yellowing leaves are a sign, she needs more nitrogen.:thumbsup:
 
Big-- there's a lengthy list of possibilities as to why, one pic tells very little,.. we need details about your grow-- nute's, feed sched'/dosage, T/RH, etc.,... Also, right off the bat, I'm betting it's too acidic in the soil; Fuxfarms has been putting out badly pH adjusted soil fora couple years now, the reports are common... people even testing bags in-store, and getting readings in the low 5's! :nono: Even mixed with LW, it might be an issue, and using DI water, with no buffering minerals, likely didn't help matters,... fixing many issues starts with getting an accurate pH reading, because if it's off enough, it's interferes with nutrient uptake, and needs to addressed first before anything else,... do you have a pH meter or probe? If you need to do the run-off test, follow this guide carefully--( https://www.autoflower.org/threads/...-testing-and-ph-estimation.41733/#post-928975 )
 
Hey!

That plant is already in flower so in terms of growth, I'd say it's missed the boat.

I doubt it'll get much bigger. [emoji853]

If it was me, I'd pull it up and start again or you'll end up with about half an Ounce of crap.

Can't be sure what went wrong here, could be the seed, maybe over watered/ over fed? Either way, it's not gonna do what you want it to.... [emoji17]

Sorry dude.

Roots organic 5ml schedule is the nutes.
PH I'm starting to do but you may be right.
Any better brands of soil?

I'll just deal with a small yeild I'll be happy with anything . do you think I'll get atlease decent weed ?

a very good soil I use is roots organic original.. works great with their nutes...
 
...you mean their organic line of nutes--Buddha Grow/Bloom, etc.?... Flushing isn't something to turn to unless you have some idea what the problems are, starting with soil pH... using organic nutes, which are mild, leave can little in reserve in the soil if you feed lightly, and flushing removes even that; soil microbes also suffer, and it's their job to break down the organic nutes into absorbable forms for the plant,... her stunting might have been from mild starvation, or a pH issue, maybe both,... lack of grow specifics leaves me guessing,.... Soils, depends on what you can get locally; high quality is the starting point, milder for auto's,... no matter what brand, always check soil pH before you plant, and that's best done with a good soil pH probe, like the Accurate 8, not those skinny cheapie ones at the garden centers,.... Roots make good soil, but most folks find they need lime amending,...Sanctuary Soils are great, if you can get them,...

Roots organic yes. Any ways to check the ph right ? I got told to mix soil in the water or test runoff.
