Thanks for the feedback. I didn't stop to think of that; now it makes sense, cause I was at the same time worried about her getting too tall too quick without the rest of the development. Now my nerves feel calmer.It's probably a good thing that she stopped growing in height... you don't want her too leggy!
If she's not overwatered and not too cold then she's probably stopping to focus on root development and a tiny bit of leaf development (true leaves are slightly bigger). You can rule out the heat variable easily enough when your wife is home and temps are higher
Thanks for stopping by. I know, it's an experiment of mine to get familiar with how they grow throughout the day while they're young. Today I decided after my 6:00 pm check I'll cut back now that I got a feel. Time consuming too.
. I may have to designate her the cloner. Good job honey!
I think week 2 or 3 depending on development, but I'm sorry to say yours really look like they're lagging
You might be overwatering... I think you may very well be set back a week. I'd reach out for help on the forums for those more familiar with soil, but here's what I was seeing on day 6 VEG (Day 12 seed drop):
Could it be my low temps being in the 60's, 70 F at best, my RH was 50% until I put them back in the dome, now it's in the low 70's%? This morning it was temp 64 F and RH 83%. Also, my lights are 52" above them. Too high another factor?I think week 2 or 3 depending on development, but I'm sorry to say yours really look like they're lagging
Best of luck! I'll keep following along and will be sending positive thoughts your way!!!
I don't think it's your lights... if it were that I think you'd have a huge stretch and they'd keep growing. I don't think it's the RH or occasional low temps -- they would slow things down for sure, but I don't think that much.
Make sure only to have them outside a little bit at a time... they need to be hardened off07/13/20 9:50 am

I moved outside with the goal of speeding up growth that I think have been stunned for two reasons, one, the low temps my wife has to have in the house that is resulting in consistently low temps for the plants as documented, and two, to dry out in the event I've been overwatering (to which I credit @adudecalledjay for pointing out as a possibility, as well as pointing out the stunned growth).
Seem to be loving the sunlight, and I made a pot rotation to prevent too much leaning in one direction. No sure I believe the temp/RH reading, it doesn't feel like a 100 F and the forecasted high was 81 F.
Edit: in fact I probably would start in the shade!
Looking good. Keep a sharp eye open for bugs over the next couple of weeks. Especially aphids. Always a bit risky bringing outdoor plants into the tent! Good to see that soil drier!07/14/20 6:18 am

Moved outside, direct sun, with dome
Day's forecast high 84 F, real feel 90 F
The temp sensor is for indoors and reads high outdoors. I believe the changes are still relatively accurate. I include the forecast and reported real feel as they represent closer to how it felt outside.
