Thanks.
Oh man I hope I'm not to late! lol I know I haven't been on for a while I been mass growing and got a little Bizzy. But sounds to me like you sire have a N(Nitrogen) Problem. this also contributed to your slow growth and overall stunted plant. Your buddies soil although probably rich in Microlife doesn't have any kind of build other than that. You need buffering agents and Nutes fro the plant to draw from. I average around 3-6foot plants depending on strain and have even had to flower early because the soil I mix is that good. Its all about what you put in. But you need N ASAP get online and order Alaskan Fish Fert. Grab some Organic woodchip mulch from a local store. Use that as a top layer around 1 inch thick. Use Roots Organic Serene with the Fish fert and Black strap unsulfared Molasses with a spoonfull of Roots Organic "Organism XL" in a Gal of Milk container, an aquarium pump running a airstone in it and let that brew with filtered or bottle water in it for around 18 Hours. Use that with the wood chips up top and read my previous post about some stuff u can stick in the soil. I know its late but hopefully you find this...
