We need a lot more information before we can help you. Pictures help a ton! What are you growing in? Soil, coco? What nutrients are you using? What lights? The more you can tell us the more we can help.
I’m new here and don’t know what I’m doing...I grow outside, my plants are in just normal topsoil,haven’t added anything to it...really don’t know what I’m doing. These are good seeds from the Netherlands. I usually just grow any old seeds that I have but these were expensive and I’m afraid I’m ruining them...I don’t know how to add a picture!
sometimes plants seem like they not growing but are just makin more roots an then they take off...if the soil is moist and not dryin out dont kill it tryna add more water...if u been using some nutes maybe cut back on them if ur gettin yellow then it may need some nutes..if the plants stems are big as match sticks u could prolly trans plant em now..add perlite or compost to ur new plots soil so the soil dont get hard...GL
Just bought a plant food 5/10/5 I know the recommended is 3/12/6 but this is all I could find on short notice but I wanted something soon, I can still buy the one you are saying too...but how much do I put in these small pots? The bag says it’s for your garden beds, so it uses a lot I don’t know how much to put in...
Are those the NPK numbers on the fertilizer, if they are it’s just a bloom booster you’d want something like 10-5-15 & this is just a reference the numbers don’t have to be that high.
Well right off the bat I can see no substrate in the soil. That would be a good place to start. They are doing the best they can under the circumstances.
Great advice so far ...I'm gunna add to what Rick and ChAs have already said. Listen up !!! Improve your substrate/soil, add perlite, to increase air flow to the roots ! I'd repot and drill a bunch of holes in your pots to increase drainage. Use Recharge or similar product. Easy on the nutes ...no more than 1/2 label rate, for a couple weeks. Add a 2" layer of mulch/compost if it's gunna get hot, and you might wanna spray for bugs before flowers start to happen !! Acclimate them to handle 8 hours of direct sunilght minimum, if possible ! Don't wait if you live in the northern hemisphere !Happy growin
The soil does need something to allow it to breathe. Also, that soil looks good but most of the nutrients could be washed out. You wouldn't know without testing but you can't go wrong by supplementing with organic matter. A quick and simple way is to get a bag of organic fertilizer and start working it in...top dress your soil and have patience.

I put up a picture but don’t know where it went...
S
Can you guys see my plant picture?
I see your picture. normal topsoil? what is normal?
what kind of nutrients are you using to feed your plants?
take a look at growweedeasy.com it will help a LOT
S
I did and that’s where I got the numbers from, but couldn’t find that particular one.
S
The topsoil has manure in it that’s about all...I will go to that site, thanks.
Did you use any mycorrhizae or insolent, organic fertilizer even manure needs microbes for the nutrients to be released.
S
No I did not, buying some nutrients now, is it to late to add this?
You can buy recharge off amazon it has everything you need an you just water it in.

Ok Joshua, I didn’t see anything with those numbers,so I got the 5/10/5, should I add more than a 1/4 tsp to the pots then???
Well right off the bat I can see no substrate in the soil. That would be a good place to start. They are doing the best they can under the circumstances.
S
I just added a 1/4 tsp of the plant food I just bought and some water to each pot, hope it helps...
