Greetings AFN.
Just to keep it short : I underfed my plants for 20 days alot in coco, I've heard less is always more etc so it got underdeveloped.
My autos are 25 days old now and they are reeaaally small in height.
I had my plants 4-5 inch under my 45w LED lamp to give them enough light.
Now my plan is to have them about 20 inch away from the LED's so they streach for a few days (All depends on how fast they streach).
I know they will streach in flower but I need to get them bigger then this.
Just look at them, its Berry bomb and THC bomb.

And does these look healthy for being 25 days old ?

I also have a perfect magnetic SCROG fence in this cabinet I wanna use.
Do you guys recommend I put it up before they streach ?
I just hope they grow even or it would be counter productive.
 
Definitely wait for someone with more experience but from what I can see, it does look healthy but way under developed for 25 days.
I had underdevelopment problems with coco in the past so I turned to soil. It's not easy with coco if you re a beginner.
What I did in your position was killing them and starting from scratch. But I've never done that later than the 2 week mark, but don't think you can expect a lot from these 2.
If these are supposed to be ready in 8 weeks honestly I'd buy new seeds if you want a decent harvest and keep these only if you have space and enough light.

Maybe being too negative....obviously you can still try with these but i don't think you can expect much harvest....as i said, wait for someone with more experience...

I think SensiDilla is right.
The plants look healthy enough but are quite small. The problem is that you can't really make up for the days you've already lost as the lifespan of the plant is set. Basically you could go on with these and get (way) less or start anew and try again with two new seeds.
That's what I think but I'm not a pro either. Hope that helps.
 
Thanks for the input but I wont kill them. This is only for personal medicine and I ordered 5 thc bomb seeds and 5 berry bomb seeds so I don't have the luxury to just kill these..
I know I wont expect a HUGE yield from these 2 no matter what but something is better then nothing I suppose. I will let these streach and see how much I'll get from these 2.
I got a new 21 x PRO led light on the way and I've learned from my mistakes.
Next grow will be AWESOME ! I feel I have control with coco now, the only mistake I did was taking an advice from someone I shouldn't have. Less is always more, and water - feed - water - feed... That's not a strong combo with coco. I also had 2 liters of nutrients for 3-4 days for 2 plants !! And that was with maybe 1.5ml to little nutrients in 2 liters.
Now that explains alot why these 2 are underdeveloped.
When I fed them alot more with 5.8-6.2 PH they really grew fast.
I'll take what I get from these and when they're done I got my new LED aswell with some killing good smoke, not much in grams but still a killing good smoke ;) so next grow will be 5 times better then this while I learned from my mistakes :)
 
Nothing against the two posters before me but imo you should keep going with these plants. Let them grow. Get all the mistakes out the way, still have some bud and also you will have learned so much by the end.

Don't focus on yields to much yet, focus on keeping them alive and read read read how to know what your plant needs, they talk to us you know.

Good luck my man
 
Thanks sir.
I've been reading for about 9 months before I made the decision to grow. This isn't a spontaneous decision from me, so I feel I've made my homework before doing this in theory, but I did expect some screw ups from me but I feel this isn't my fault for taking an advice from a more experienced grower, I just did what he said.
I'm just really "sad" I made such a novice mistake by underfeeding them, everything else is in control and I would yield normal from these 2 without me listening to that guy.
I got CALiMAGIC on the way aswell, using Canna coco A&B and that's it.
Maybe next grow I will use a grow guide for PC grow with the 21 x pro we'll see.
If you're interested I can shoot out some pictures from this grow aswell and tell how it went.

Were they that small at 26 days ?
I cant have them BIG I only grow in a​

26.5x18x8 pc.
Your size would be perfect.
I'll definitely wait this one out of curiosity and learning experience.
Do you think they will stretch enough ? They already stretched abit in under 24 hours.
Your plants look sexy hope they'll knock you out of awesomeness bro :)

 
Those plants are fine. Sure they are a little small for their age. Get them back on track and you will be surprised what they will do.
