Runt is lagging

Post by Skywalker »

I have 6 skywalker OG clones about two weeks into veg, when I potted up into their final 16L fabric pots, two were not a developed as the others but being inpatient I planted them anyway, 4 of them are growing well but one in particular has barely moved the other slow one is catching up a bit. I am hand feeding at the moment trying to encourage the runt to catch up as the other plants obviously have a higher demand for feed. I really want to get them drinking the same amount so I can stick them on the feed res but I'm not sure how to play it?

Without knowing medium, medium pH, if it's getting equal light, how far behind the others it started etc. I'd suggest considering supplemental foliar feeding as it gets into the plant faster than through the root zone.

Let pots dry out proper between feeds, not bone dry but just about and not far off bone dry is a good one to try and help sort shit out for starters and it should help kick plant back in to life pretty quickly if its a root problem.

It does sound like overwatering as they haven't filled the pots with roots as fast as the others as 2-Scoops is saying.

Some more info and images would be helpful.

I have been waiting for the runts pot to dry out and it's taking aaaaggges.... I guess I just need to wait longer. Rh is stable at 60%, PH is 6.0 temp 26 lights on and 18 lights off and feed EC is 1.6 currently. I don't know if I can post pics yet? I only have a few posts...

I recon so yes. Usually once you`ve let them dry out properly or virtually dried out, well they tend to fire back in to life doing what they should do, whether it takes a few days or 7 days to dry out, it should only need doing usually once but possibly twice that way then you should be able to water a little more frequently. :boogie:

I knew you kept it simple but I didn't realise a thermometer was considered a gadget! I get the idea, I'll go sit in my groom, if it doesn't feel like the Caribbean I'll raise temps to suit 🤣. Thank you sir 🙏
