Should I pull it?

[GodBud]

Here is a perfectly healthy looking female. Just showed sex this afternoon when I looked I saw the classic twisted little white hairs. However this is day 34ish from sprout as you can see the growth is stunted. At least I think so.

I am not sure if I should yank her and start over. My first grow was with NLX and by this time it was twice as big. This is a Jack Herer strain. I know there are strains that take longer than others but this seems way slow. Opie Yutts has been a gold mine of info on another thread.

It appears that the roots didnt explode from take off and that has impacted the growth severely. I have babied this girl and I sure would hate to yank it. Would it be worth the time to go to 12/12 and try to harvest a decent cola bud because thats probably the only bud I would get. I know it probably wouldnt be much but at least I could get to taste it and test the Jack Herer potency. I just dont know what to do.

I have it at 1300 ppm, ph 5.8 good temps all stats are dead on. I mean she looks great but she is growing so slowly. What do you all advise? If you were in my shoes what would you do?

Thanks

It looks like its a decent plant. I would personally keep it going as long as its living, but some people like to cull the population and focus on the stronger plants. Its really just dependent on how much room you have.

How do you know its female if you haven't switched the lights though?

He's getting pre-flowers. Pretty common after a month in veg. Some people won't go to flower until the pre-flowers appear.

Is that your only plant? It looks perfectly healthy.

If you're growing several plants simultaneously, I would suggest leaving it and seeing what happens, like you said-test the strain. Sounds like you got a plant with poor genetics. If it's your only plant, I might consider starting over, though I can't imagine growing only one plant at a time. Not worth the energy spent on lighting, etc. The plant doesn't look unhealthy or stunted to me-I'm sure that it'll get much bitter when you change it's nutes and the light to 12/12. Good luck.

Well I am caught up in that F#$$EN ice storm that tore through the midwest and have had no power for 5 days now. Temps are cold in the house and total darkness. I am scared to even look at my girl. Looks like shes a gonner. I am not sure though. You think the marijuana plant is rezealient enough to pull through that. Like what if my power comes back tomorrow or the next day. You think its freaked out and hermie bound or do you think that when I go look at er she will be limp and lifeless. This fricken sucks!

Peace

If your plant hasn't had light for 5 days, its probably dun fer. If it IS still alive, its probably freaking out and trying to grow some pollen sacs to respawn.

Damn Godbud i'm sorry to hear that friend! NO LIGHTS?!?!?!

She looked beautiful..Its very odd that the ole girls growth kinda stunted like that..

If you remember the pics of mine, the biggest one looked about half the size of your plant just a few days younger..Here is a pic i snapped of her a day or so ago....



She seems to have picked up a lot in the last week..What you guys think? Still not sure gender however

Again i'm sorry for the unfortunate turn of events Godbud!!

Folks,

Got power back. Its bitter sweet. My desktop got fried so I have to get a new puter. Thinkin about a Mac. Nyway, The girl surprisingly looks about the same after 5 days total darkness and low temps. I got the 400 watts beeming on her now and the top shoots are literally sticking straight up. I would post a pic on the fly but as stated puter is fried. Should I just go back to the normal light cycle 18/6 or should I keep the lights on 24/7 for a few days. Should I pull er because the darkness has f'd er up and shes destin to be a smemale or what do you folks think? I seriously didnt look at er for 5days, I thought when I finally looked at er that she was going to be limp and lifeless but to my surprise she looks way better than expected.

Peace
