Stunted Growth Inqueries

My first grow has gone a little stoner. I began at different points in time and collected more growing equip as i went. I bought some seeds and collected others from friends, and germinated/sprouted/grew them at different times. In fact, my best plants were from a friend and they are northern lights #4, northern lights#3 and the cheese, and they unfortunately were left under a halogen desk light for the first two weeks of their life. Anwyas, all plants have undergone much stress, however are doing quite well, but undoubtedly stunted in growth. My question is, how should I deal with this, should I just begin flowering earlier considering some of them are already on week 6.5 of veg? Should I wait it out and will they grow a bit more? They're quite small right now, even the oldest is about 8 inches at best. They're looking healthy other than that, and it's taught me my lesson, so that next grow, everythign will be ready and waiting for the clones. All advice insight greatly appreciated. Happy smoking growing harvesting and smoking.

If I were you I would just start with a new batch. Try to keep the stunt plants if want but I doubt they'll recover. The will only produce VERY LITTLE bud and I know ur not looking for that. I had a stunt plant and kept around with the others and only got about 2 grams off of it LOL. I was good tho but not much u can do.

so is there anyway for a stunted plant to resume normal growth? or once stunted will it always be small? thanks

Iv made mistakes with my plants and it seems they did recover, Buk I hope your wrong with the bud amount im my case....I do know without a doubt ill get more than 2gs for sure though. Im thinking 2 Oz this time, 6 next time with all female unstressed clones.

Oh and don't get too hung up on height. My 400 watt MH plants are quite a bit shorter than my fluorescents way more bushy though.

what about cloning stunted plants, wlil the cloens be the same? I know stunting is a cause of the phenyotype in the plants, (situational) but can it nto be passed down?
