4th Week: Grow Seems Slow or Slowing Why?

[NYUrbanFarmer]

Hey Guys back here with another Newbie Question! This is my first grow and I'm in week 4. My Plants are growing their 4th set of real leaves and it seems that their growth rate has slowed considerably. Is this normal? Maybe it's just that I cant tell because I see them everyday but In the beginning they seemed to grow at such a fast pace and now they seem to just be hangin out. Everyone Is looking healthy so what could be the hold up? Or is it normal?

When was the last time you transplanted? What size containers are you in now,with how big of plants? Possible binding IMO.

Yeah I think that may have been the problem. I realized the they were Rooting out and transplanted into 6x6x8" pots. Now They seem to have picked up growth. But still slower than before. I'm going to try and do some CO2 introduction that this article mentioned with baking soda and vinegar. Not on the plant or in the soil but just in a cup placed in the grow space. This way it floods some CO2 in there because my grow room is a closet now until the plants get bigger I fear that O2 production from Photosynthesis is stunting the growth ability. What do ya think is the article is BS or does it sound logical?

If you just transplanted give it a couple of weeks to see development. After a transplant it will use most of it's energy to advance root growth,than after that you will have a top growth explosion...-SOHIGH-

I had the same thing happen to me, I transplanted from a small dixie cup size pot to a 2.5 gal.It took a minute but once the root zone adapts to the space.....BOOM

ON my first grow and things I noticed slowed them down.

* Right after topping and or fimming. They flow for little more than half a week. After that he explode and catch up.

* After transplanting they are slow for a week sometimes a week and a half. Then they begin to take off.

Sweet! I'll have to keep an eye out. They seemed a little slow before also though maybe cause they were rooted out?
