Vegging Plants Not Growing and Started Flowering

[ChenBenTz]

None of my vegging plants seem to have grown more than an inch in the past few weeks..

I just have absolutely no idea why not.

I'm using soil. Temps are 30-34C with an AC cooltube.

The only two problems that have occurred are:

1.) There was a problem with fungus gnats that was dealt with recently. There is barely any noticeable damage on the leaves.

2.) I kept them at 12/12 with respect to the 600w HPS, but left a 45w CFL to keep them from flowering which has always worked in the past. However, they did start to flower so I returned the 600w HPS to 18/6.

Besides that, I've been using Dutch Pro on some and Canna Soil Supermix on others. Neither group has been growing any better/worse.

I have been a little tardy with watering, letting them dry out and wilt slightly before watering.

None of these things have EVER caused my plants to simply halt growth, so I'm really in need of help here.

Appreciate any input!

How close are your lights?

How close are your lights?

Same distance as always. Probably 30-35cm.

A couple of the plants also seem to have a serious case of Nitrogen toxicity.

I flushed them a week ago but nothing has changed..

They're just stagnant.

your room is way too hot and humid. see how the leaves are curling up like that, their try to shed heat but they can't because it must be too humid to sweat the heat off.
also gnats don't eat the leafs they eat roots the adult flies don't have mouths only the babies do and their in your soil.
and don't let your plants go dry to the point they wilt they may look like they come back after watering but you killed a lot of roots doing so.


good luck!

Nah, those leaves just happened to be too close. The rest look fine.

Good point about the humidity though. Only thing I haven't checked.

Yeah, I know. But the way you know the larvae have eaten the roots is that the bottom leaves start to yellow.

and don't let your plants go dry to the point they wilt they may look like they come back after watering but you killed a lot of roots doing so.

Never had this happen and I've let plants go a day from dying before.

In fact, those plants ended up being my highest yielders.
