my retarded plant

[SerotoninJunkie]

I'm curious why no one has commented on the red stems and burnt leaf tips, red stems while your vegging can be a sign of either an N, P, or K deficiency as well as sulfer or magnesium. For anyone else with this kind of problem I'd vote definitely on a LOT more light, try mixing 1/4 or 1/2 tablespoon of epsom salts per gallon of water for magnesium and sulfer (most people say a full tablespoon but that will turn even a 7.5 ph level to drop below 6) as well as either more nutes with N,P and K or less fertilizer because there is nute lockout in the soil, which would account for the burnt tips. If you have bad water (like it's full of calcium) it can also result with a greater likelihood of lockout in the soil, sometimes a flush helps. This is all also assuming the PH is balanced between 6.2-7. Other tell tale signs of various possible deficiencies and issues, like the yellow leaves.

Anytime you aren't open to input from others you tend to do wrong things without knowing, just because all of your other plants grow fine in the same conditions doesn't mean that that MJ plant isn't just more sensitive to something then your others. Even variations in soil consistency can make a plant more prone to stunted growth.
ELDER GROWERS, tell me if I'm wrong or naive! I'm here to learn and help others, tell me if you think I'm wrong.

I THINK YOUR WRONG.

Not all mj plants are gonna thrive, neither will there always be a def. in nuts. A close friend just harvested a plant that grew since october and flowered since dec and turned out to be the best mj i have ever seen or smoked. Some plants are just fucked up!

some plants are just genteticaly wack

Too bad you didnt pollenate it.......the seeds would of been worth a fortune.
Good grow dude.....one of the best Ive seen.

but yeah the small midget one also has these lil white hairs on the leaves like yours and red stems.(both plants have red stems but only the midget has hairy leaves)

I laughed hard

Thats not to small to flower my friend flowered a BC big bud under 1 23W when it was on its 2nd set of leaves. It gave him 5 grams of bomb bud.

I've been growing since 1976.

Back then the phenotypes were mostly sativa from Mexico and Jamaca.

These days with all the indica phenotypes around you never know
what you will get, especially if your growing from bagged seed.
The simple fact that there are seeds in the MJ means that each seed could have been pollenated by different males......
The genetics are astounding. There must be at least a million or more
in the world.

I've had a lot of dwarf plants.

I grow mostly Northern Lights from cuttings. Even that original batch of Northern Lightsseed I bought in the early 90's had some variance in it. I choose the one's I liked and got rid of the rest.

I just harvested 6 plants and they all were only 13" tall but wide.

My clone only grows that high-13".

If I can get some bagged seed I will grow it. I seeded a bud of some of my Northern Lights just to get some seed to have of it.

Like someone else said, they're all weird.

I would love to see evidence of that! A plant on its second set producing 5g's is beyond my knowledge to date. Good for him though if it is true.
