    Hey budbro very nice setup! I love they way you've done your lights for quick and easy adjustment. I too am on my first grow and have found the folks around here helpful and encouraging. Definitely Some good smart people around here. I love that Foxfarm Ocean Forest and have used it for years starting tomatoes and many other plants as well. It is a really well formulated soil. But as Catbuds warned, it's pretty rich stuff. I know the Foxfarm schedule calls for adding nutes, but most people who have been helping me stressed that I really didn't need them during early and mid veg. I just kept transplanting to a slightly bigger pot as they became bound so they could get a shot of fresh medium. Usually added some Bigbloom at transplant and molasses the next watering. I was amazed at how lush and happy the plants were in straight soil and no added nutes. I've used some high-priced soil mixtures over the years but that Ocean Forest is the best commercial stuff I've come across. Looking forward to learning how to make my own in the future. Good job on the grow!

    Might need a little N starting out, not much easy to burn, after first flowers then the P&K.

    Like weez said more veg, more bud, more weight.

    i think the red led tricked one of my sprouts right into bud or something cause i have a one inch stem and then tight little cluster leaves looks like the begining of a cola...ever heard of? or could it just be a genitcally fucked up plant...kinda confused as to why this one plant is acting so weird....

    Google phenotype.

    I also see this when the roots get tangled.

    Seed gets planted wrong end up.
    Root tip emerges, makes it's U-turn, sees daylight, heads back down and loses the fulcrum needed to shed it's husk.
    That uses up all the energy stored in the seed and the plant stress-flowers with a tangled rootball.

    Or. it could be something else.

    Ahh, Bro. Sounds like it could be the early start of a "celery stalk". Weird little mutation, flattened stem, looks very much like a celery stalk, & the bud forms funny, little tight round clump, not much production there, but many people grow out this little oddity as a conversation piece. When it starts out like this, early on the main stem, the whole plant is affected. But often its just a side branch. .... But Wheeze could be right. Only time will tell what's really up!

    Hey budbro there are viruses that live in a more or less "dormant" state in plant's DNA. Often the phenomenon Catbuds is describing, as well as other seemingly sudden odd growth pattern results from some type of stress signaling the viral DNA to start doing it's thing. Many of these plant viruses are harmless. They just cause weird growth habits or strangely patterned color. Some horticulturists actually breed the viral mutants due to their interesting appearance, e.g. certain varieties of rose, philodendron and euphorbia. I'm not saying that's what's going on here, I just find it fascinating. In my work I grow Salvia divinorum (Diviner's Sage) and it occasionally suffers from this. I'm just rambling on about weird plant science. Trust your elders on this one.
