Hello growers,
I have a young plant, about 5 weeks from seed. Since it's my first grow I know I made some nasty mistakes that slowed growth quite a bit. First was the light, made it stretch a bit but I sorted that out long ago and node spacing looks fine. Then I manage to hit it (bad) and actually did a sort of super-cropping before the first node grew but I put it back up and used something to suport it and she recovered from that too. Also recently I got a cheap PH soil tester and found that it was quite high, a bit over 7.5 so I watered with a PH at about 5.3 and that also got sorted out. Sadly now she is starting the 4th node and except the fact that it's tiny for 5 weeks, wich I assume was due to PH, it doesn't grow more than 3 fingers per leave. I was thinking she should get at least 5 by now. I've read that this could be due to light leaks, but the forums were talking about it when it was in flowering, not in early veg. The strain is Critical from Royal Queen Seeds, it's genetic background is Afghani x Skunk.
Now the question is: is this some sort of wierd mutation, is it normal for this strain or am I doing something wrong?
