oooh, pretty. Getting too tall is a problem I wish I had with mine though. I am trying to grow three plants outdoor for the first time this year, started from clones I got at the dispensary. They’re in a long raised bed planted with potting soil, get plenty of water but also plenty of drainage and get full sun most of the day, but all 3 of them have, after 4 weeks stayed under 18 inches tall, starting from about 12 inches to begin with. They did put out nice healthy-looking new leaves, they look happy enough, but they all have remained stunted. It seemed like maybe a problem with roots not having enough room to grow, but they have significantly more room than the planter pot in the OP pic, so I don’t know. It has been disappointing and really discouraging. I wish I knew where I went wrong.
I would say seeds are better than clones a little bit at least. Then for soil nutrients some mixed leftovers organic ,root bakteria. Some old charcoal from the barbecue , some morning piss haha. I also topped and pruned quite hard. I started that from seed directly in pot and left it for 3 weeks to fend for itself after it taken root , so could have been even better if I had been here for it. Also some Neem oil and gardeners soap to keep pests away. Take pics of leaves , the miscouloring of them can say a lot of what’s wrong . Oh and check PH level
Thanks for the advice and info. I’ll look into the pH tomorrow and see if I can snap some pics. I did give them some home-made finished compost a few days after planting, not a lot, but spread a layer of it on top of the potting soil around the base of the plants assuming nutrients would seep down upon watering. All 3 of them look pretty healthy, green leaves, new growth, just s l o w, stagnant almost. Well the sativa might have some yellowing leaves (I got 1 sativa dominant, one indica dominant, and one even mix hybrid). Maybe I’ll try from seeds next year.

What soil do you have ? Just from the garden or any perlite or coco in it? Flushing with just water can help also but can be a lot of things . Also genetics. Heres a good article about it https://esdemgarden.com/how-to-correct-weed-plants-stunted-growth.html
