If you don’t have a growlog please answer these questions.
What strain are you growing? Is it Auto, Fem or Reg?
Are you growing Indoor or outdoor?
Are you using nutrients? Which ones? How much?

My question is why is my plant preflowering when it’s this small? I’ve been growing it since Oct 30 2020

Not sure on strain, indoor, and just the ones in the fox farms ocean soil

Since okt 2020? This plant is from january 2021

Yes you need to use nutrients indoor. You just buy a starting pack from any firm, then follow their schedule. Like this.

Yes it’s from October 30th, I think it was the soil I was using it had no nutrients in it. Also my lighting schedule got screwed up because my timer stopped working. So it wasn’t getting the full 18 hrs of light. But I’m trying to get it back to normal. A friend told me to just top it off, and go from there. To make sure my lighting is on point now, but for nutrients they told me to hold off a bit because the fox farms ocean soil has plenty in it. I’m all new to this. So any bit of information helps, and my friend is hard to get ahold of. Thank you guys!

If you have plenty of seeds, in your case, i would start over. Your plant hight and yield are what it should have looked like after 3-5 weeks only.

You’ll need to study how to nute your plants. Try YouTube “from seed to harvest” spend a night with popcorn and cola, and take notes. Growing isnt easy. I wouldent choose a soil with pre nutes in it for my first grow… You cant messure anything, and you cant change anything. Buy a basic nute kit (GHE is easy for a first-timer) and follew thier schedule, and a basic weed growing soil and start over.

@Bud4201990 Welcome to the Community! It’s surprising how small that plant is, even with the lights too close it should get bigger. The soil seems ok, she looks healthy. Maybe the pot you’re using? Which one are you using?

Well I’ve done different things to improve the growth of my plant, sorry I haven’t updated you guys with it. Got a new phone and forgot my login information.

So I’ve taken some different steps with it, gotta say it’s improving alot more. But it seems like she now is lacking a bit of nutrients by the look of the leaves not to sure. I was told by a friend who grows that it could be just from when I was spraying it down with water that it’s drying out now because the others look fine that are growing in. I got a much better light setup as well now, and need to find where to get nutrients for her.

@Bud4201990 Hard to tell anything under the red lights you need to take the plant out from under the red light and get some better pics to tell whats wrong with your plant.

Will this pic help?

That’s better. Well as your friend said, the stains on the leaves could be the product of spraying the leaves with the lights on. Usually, the leaves won’t recover from that, it doesn’t mean that they are not healthy, just that the stains remain. I would worry a little bit if the new leaves are growing with the same symptoms, but it doesn’t seem to be the case here.
If you spray them, remember to do it after the light went out.
