The DWARF phenotype----?

[Abattoir Dream]

AAAAAIIIGHT!

lol so, I plant two seeds on the same day, the same size, same strain(bubblegum), grown under the same light. One is already in flowering, and doing pretty good for its size. The second, seems to be a Dwarf-? its the same age, but its only two inches tall at the most.. at first i thought it was just growing slow, then i realized it was just as mature as the rest, but tiny (the first two leaves were literally miniscule) anyway.. i decided to keep the little blighter in veg, and grow it out until its a small bush... its under better lights (new setup :)) and gets alot of sun now... its goin good... :thumbsup:


Will clones from this still be dwarves?

Is it a REAL dwarf phenotype?

Will the buds be the same? or smaller scale? :) - who knows? any input will be much appreciated...

Wow. That's hilarious how it's same age and stuff and still very small lol. I have never heard of a "dwarf phenotype" but w/e I don't know what's wrong with the plant lol. My guess is maybe the seed wasn't all that good?

[Abattoir Dream]

nah, the seed was the same size, colour, shape..

[orangeman]

I dunno, maybe it's just an odd plant..

[Weedhound]

AD I've seen that happen twice to my plants.....once due to being rootbound....a perfect bonsai plant.....and the other was actually a friend of mine's plant that got poorer light. Doesn't look rootbound in that soil you have.

[Abattoir Dream]

i know its not root-bound, thats for sure...

if anything it got MORE light...

the embrionic stem of the biggest plant is taller than the dwarf.. which really is something...

[latewood]

It is rootbound. If it stays in that little cup; Itwill remain rootbound.

plants get rootbaound in small cups in just a few days.

wrong forum for this. you should know better by now AB

a friend of mine has a few plants growing..this is one of them, it seems to be a bonsai sort of plant..like the small trees you can grow. miniature and has odd shaped leaves..maybe some kind of mutant? meh, just thought this was an appropriate place for this.:stoned:

[JackdaWack]

It looks like bad genetics or a poor transfer of genetics, u could re-pot it to make sure its not rootbouand for that size it looks like it wouldnt be but the roots may have grow very big.

If it has anything to do with genetics all the clones will act the same, with some varying but it will be on avegerage with what this one shows. The bigger one looks small too?

[Abattoir Dream]

yeh, the bigger one is small... i gotta finish up shop, im movin house soon...

nah, im sure hes not rootbound.. ive seen plants ten times the size living in smaller pots, plus, ive re-potted him a couple times in the past... that pot is easily big enough for now... i will re-pot... just not yet..

markass... i see what you mean, the leaves look like that of matanuska tundra... only a bit though...:)

i know... it was gonna be a discussion... and then it turned into question time... sorry..

one BIG question....

Do dwarf cannabis plants even exist??? or is an auto-flowering strain the closest you can get nowadays???

[Abattoir Dream]

just re-potted it, it wasnt root bound, in fact, the roots were much better than the last time i saw them... i broke the dirt up a little just in case it really was rootbound... it looks great :)

[Lamperus]

All of you saying you've never heard of a dwarf phenotype ... what on Earth do you think Lowryder is!? I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's exactly the case, and it is indeed simply a dwarf.

[Abattoir Dream]

lowryder is an autoflowering strain, not a true dwarf..
