Hi all
In my very first run & I've had a few issues related to lack of experience (although my ex wife would probably add in there incompetence lol).
After they germinated, I put them in the grow tent in 5 gal soft pots. What I didn't realise was that the temperatures for that first week were around 9-10 C (50 F)! How they didn't die, I have no idea. Once I got temps up to about 22, they took off and they're growing & healthy & now after about 7-8 weeks, they're about 40cms (the variety - sweetseeds fast bud auto #2 - should be from 40-90 cms (tho there's a grow diary where someone got it to 125!).
My question is whether that horrible early start will stunt them, or just slow them down - or have any other negative effect.
Thanks & stay well

Any pic? Need more info. Soil, coco, lighting, what distance from light, nutes using.
 
Hi Bigg Al
Ok, so:
Medium: Biobizz light mix soil (in 5 gal cloth posts)
Nutes: Biobizz biogrow, boibloom, top max & activera - all at half recommended dosage (except for that one time when I accidentally doubled the doseage!)
75w LED light about 40cm away
Temps 21-22 constant (not poss to vary it or get it higher)

There are 2 of them - one is further along than the other, I'd say - if the photos are no good, let me know. And thanks!

Another grower will have different environments also I've had 2 sister plants that I've grown now purple couskush and one is purple and the other isn't I've also had different heights on same strains .also the slow start wont of helped but just keep looking forward s now and keep your environment the best you can
 
Looks good, how many weeks are they?
 
They're around 8 weeks. I didn't keep a grow diary (lesson learnt for next time lol). The fictional official fairytale timescale is 7 1/2 weeks - tho I know already that's bollocks.
At this stage, I was just curious to know whether (if in any way) their rough start would have an impact now - hence the stunted/slow question.
I mean, regardless of how they are, I'm just ecstatic that they've lived so long!
