Puny plant - am I worrying unnecessarily?
cadurstarted grow question 2 years ago
Okay, this is a vague question.
As compared to my previous grow of Sensi skunk #1 this Royal Jack is puny.
I have been much better at LST this time but it's so small and am in week 6. I'd say it is 1/2 the size of my previous plant.

Hello Cadur, vague questions do not exist only vague answers 😜
This is a beautiful plant and the reason for her staying so small is because of the genetics.
Look at this information that I've got from the RQS website:
Royal Jack Automatic will not grow too tall, reaching a height of 40–90cm, which makes it ideal for smaller or more discreet grows.
I also have to mention that you did a beautiful job with the LST training technique!
Goodluck and enjoy your grow!

Thanks to all who replied. Looks like I am being rather silly and should not worry. I'll leave Royal Jack Herer alone!

Not all weed plants will grow to be the same height! I grew one that only reached 21" and another one that got to be over 50".. always check out what the seedbank indicates is the approximate height for the strain - and understand that this, along with their harvest estimation, is exactly that - an estimation! The strain I grew that went over 50" was only supposed to get to 30"... So you just go with what you've got! And you've got a nice looking plant that is perhaps in need of a bit of defoliation at this point.... get some light to the lower bud sites and increase the airflow to the interior.
Good luck!

What happens to my autos ? Too much fertilizer ? Nutrient block ?First week I tried the devil and fertilized my autos as little as possible, knowing it was useless... Big mistake.
After that I could see signs of too much fertilizer, i.e. pointed leaves and since then, slow growth with very small leaves. What has happened?

Northern Lights Auto, quite short and bushy, fan leaves shielding light - should I defoliate?First time grower with a quite short Northern Lights Auto in week 6. The fan leaves seem to shield a lot of light from the inner leaves, also touching ground. Should I trim the fan leaves? Or should I keep them, since it already seems stressed enough for it's short life…Plant. Too short

Dark leaves and short/compact plant18 days from seedling. Dark and a bit rumpled/twisted leaves. Branches are coming out but they don't have much space to breathe from the big leaves. Started topping with some chicken manure pellets, too much nitrogen? Also, the 36W LED lamp is only 20 cm away.9 months ago

What do you guys think?It's my first grow (automatic, 6 weeks old) and compared to other plants, my plant looks a bit small/ridiculous. I give her 24/7 light (I read that on guides) is that maybe too much? What's your impression of her? I use two growlights (one from above and one from the side).Other. General questions

Why is one plant lagging behind the others in growth?Does anyone have any idea why my plant no. 3 is stagnating in growth?
She had always the same amount of watering and conditions (except different medium) as the other two plants.

Early flower and plant too small?Multiple questions: Is this the first sign of flower on the picture of D21 from sprouting? Doesn't the plant look to small for it still? How do I promote new node growth? Is watering roughly about 1.5L per week too little for nutrient influx?
