    Default Very slow growth

    Hi all. All new to this however I’m not seeing good progress with my “big bud” feminised photoperiods.
    Started out as seeds 8 weeks ago.
    Been under 2 kosckeal leds from after 1st week so easy 7weeks now under leds and only 12” from canopy throughout.
    Been around 27 degrees day and 24 night with around 60%humidity give it take 10%
    We’re on 24 for first few weeks but have been on 20/4 for last 4 weeks.
    Growing in hydro coco 60/40 gold label
    From seed.
    Been in a couple of smaller pots but now in 20l airpots.Not even sure if this is what to grow in?
    My problem is I’m not seeing much progress.
    Look good healthy plants but not great height at all.
    I’ll try and attach a couple of picture of the 2 plants.
    Any help/advice on why they are taking so long would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ps
    I have bought a 600 Zeus pro
    Air sonic humidifier

    Alright mate, you have to flip photoperiods to 12/12 light so they start to flower

    Or is it just the fact they've been going so long in veg and aren't as big as you thought they'd be?

    Real talk, at 8 weeks old, I'd have killed them and started again.

    From what you are describing, it seems that your room is good, I'm not sure about the lights, I have always used HPS, what power are your leds?
    How often are you feeding?

    They look really small for 8 weeks old,I'd be expecting trees after 8 weeks veg lol.

    This was my first thought,cheap LED's that aren't upto the job,what is the actual wattage of the lights,not the claimed HPS replacement.

    Correct. I would have expected them to be twice the size they are just now given age.
    Really healthy and always nice fresh growth but just very small plants

    Thanks for reply. Really don’t know the power of them.
    I could put them under the Zeus pro now but wondered if I’m just wasting my time and power/cost if they aren’t going to progress.
    I just assumed an led light which is current on Amazon for £100. Obviously 1 over each plant would suffice as long as close enough at early veg stage.
    Wasn’t expecting Miricales but they must work?
    On Amazon it says kosckeal 2000w full spectrum.
    I appreciate that’s not much info but really all I can see about them.

    So would you recommend switching to 12/12 and seeing if I got anything or is it just a waste of time with these ones now?
