So we have unreasonably short growth / age ratio....yet....a beautiful, tight, compact plant that has already started healthy secondaries on first and second nodes...maybe more, i cant see so well anymore. I am stoned.

Interesting situation......

I dont think there is any doubt as to it being Indica...

But why the midget status? Some possible scenarios or causes that I can think of:

1. Static stale air. SOmetimes hot stale air will simply stunt a plant. Not kill or burn...just stunt.

Was she ever exposed to life without a fan?

2. Genetic Runt. Hey it happens to people, cats, dogs, cucumbers, corn stalks, guys' penises....it could happen to weed

3. WRONG COLOR TEMP BULB... I know of plants that simply need 6500K or they wont respond. Plain and simple. Even if you were to place the plant outside, it wouldn't respond in any many other than being a runt.

The sunlight will produce about a Kelvin of 5800. By going to 6500K, many times I understand you can force the runt to accelerate growth by using the combined increased solar spectrum and lighting period.

So here is how I see it....

Assuming this is not some exotic strain that grows slow for 30 days, then WHAM! takes off growing like wildfire....

You have a nice healthy plant. At her growth rate you will have to veg her for many months more to get some good yeild.

You can wait it out. Keep in mind....the longer you grow her....the more things you will need to do to keep her thriving....as plants age, their nutritional status changes as does the nutrient content of the soil....the more adding of nutes is what will be required and thats where almost all growers that fail after 30 days messed up.

You can try raising the color temperature of your bulbs....to do this will cost you about $50 - $60.........You dont buy these bulbs at your local supermarket or hardware store......yet....and they dont cost $15 - $25 ....

What is the kelvin of your current bulbs?

FUck man I just realized i typed a frickin book here and i am too wasted to follow my own train of thought...

sorry bro but i lost it.

Hope you can pick some sense outta my book here...didnt mean to bable on like that....

your plant is nice and pretty and i am just saying you can wait it out....or make a change....

if you choose change....i would buy the right light and start giving her superthrive.

I would love to see her spurt on you....

Hey that sounds kinky

Are you always like this.....
