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 put 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
