Started a new thread to see what's up with Belle. Everyone says she looks fine, could just be genetics

Fine by me!! Only thing that really worried me was that when Tom started showing signs of being a male he had the same top on him. I looked with my 60x and it looks just like leaves but I wanted other opinionsi vote on genetics

yeah i dont blame you. did you try putting that plant a bit further away from the light for a bit, i checked other thread and someone said seems like nodes are growing too fast, maybe inducing a bit more stretch to that 1 plant may straighten it out a bit. just a thought/suggestion

Ive been alternating having the lights close and far away. When I do my 4 weeks update tomorrow I will try and get some good pics of the distance between nodes. I've got 5 so far on each plant.
I've only ever had the one male before. Not gonna flip these plants to 12/12 for another couple weeks still.
Gotta talk with the wife about how large she is comfortable with them getting. If it were me I'd have them so there were about 2 feet tall when finished. Perfect size for the space and for some good weight in buds (hopefully). Basically I'll most likely start flowering when they're a little over 6" tall. They're all just under 3" currently

a lil nute burn on one?
or is that from when they were getting hot?
have you checked the PH of your soil yet? i believe you can have it checked for little money at home depot, can also buy a cheap soil PH test kit for like 10 bucks. people say PH usually is not a issue with soil grows but i have been lurking these forums for a bit now and i see alot of issues with it, me and loyalty both had impropper PH levels, i just fixed mine he fixed his a while back and his plants definatly made a great comeback.
from what i understand nutrient burn starts in the verry tips and works its way to the middle where deficiencys start in the middle of the leaf node.
anyways, if you havent had the soil tested it really wouldnt hurt to get that done and raise/lower it if need be. ideal soil PH is 6.8

nice shots im leaning towards wat matt said probably has to do with lights being nice and close could be a good and/or bad thing i guess we will have to find out. i don't know if its just me cuz its been awhile but shouldn't they be a lil bigger at 28 day i mean could be phenotype and all

i do agree if they are on day 28 they should be much larger wich means there is an underlying issue why they are not growing.
you have 8 CFL on them right? 26w each so right now i would like to say they have enough light so you can rule that out. but heat will cause a growth stunt so your previous heat issue may be contributing to the lack of growth. you fixed the heat issue so may se a surprising growth spurt in a few days.
ideal temp is 76 and ideal humidity is 60-75% (i believe, i know its pretty high) for veg stage, might be worth it to construct a mini greenhouse. get a roll of clear plastic and some strapping and screw together a quick frame and wrap it in platic, then drop the lights through a hole cut in top. you have a good setup for doing something like this. i dunno lol, stoned and overthinking shit

i shit u guys not when i was growing LA woman (Favorite to date nice stable genes) and afghan kush ryder my temperatures were no lower then 80 highest was 100 NO BS! and them ladies grew fine they did show heat stress (curled down leaf tips) but grew daily. heat stress does slow growth in indicas sativas love it as long as humidity is low but heres a tip/trick co2 in grow room allows the plant to with stand higher temp increases metabolism which promotes vigorous growth and good yield.. besides that its wat they breath in. ur plants are in a oxygen rich house and the only part of plants that like oxygen is roots. i suggest goin to a store were bb guns are sold or paintballs and buy either the small co2 cartridges for bb hand guns poke a tinyhole and let the co2 fill the grow space seald professional growrrs do it an hour b4 the lights go on cuz thats the time best for foliar feeding. i couldn't access my grow space at those times but it worked fine . an hr b4 lights comes on is coolest time of day in grow room and pores open up on the plant. research it if u must but u can take my word. buy the little co2 cartridges or the big ones for paintball guns that have a valve. i prefered the small ones set and foget... another tip/trick is h2o2 ..name says it all. add hydrogen peroxide to ur waterings adds extra oxygen molecules to the water that roots unde soil will thank u for. u can take my word 4 that too but research it if u must... these will help those lady grow PE@CE Glock

or you could do the yeast and sugar method for co2
