Help with flowering plant.

I have 3 plants flowering. Two are doing great, producing nice size buds and chugging right along. The third however, does not look good at all. It's tall and spindly, with budsites very far apart, and now I've got some drooping and canoeing of the leaves. Also, the leaves are VERY narrow and mostly small.

I assumed it was just an overwatering thing, so I've laid off watering for the past 10 days or so (I gave it a half cup once or twice) and there has been almost no improvement. Could it just be bad genetics or is there some other reason this one might be looking so sickly?

include pics of your others for more reference. It looks like the light levels are pretty low, that could be a cause. Also your nitrogen levels may be too high.

As for watering, let the top inch or so of your pot get dry, then water till 10% runoff. Never add small amounts of water, unless your doing a pesticide soil drench.

good luck!

Nothing is discolored on that plant. One of my other plants had some nute burn, but this plant never really showed any signs, plus I flushed it after I saw burn on the other plant (the last time I watered). Here are pics of the 2 other plants.

yeah, that's honestly what I'm thinking. After seeing how fantastic the other 2 plants have done in comparison, I've got to believe it's just that plant. I have another of the same seed that is about 2 weeks into veg and it's looking a LOT different than that one. Oh well, guess I'll just keep going with it and hope for the best...

I believe so. I had originally thought I mixed up the seeds b/c it looked so sativa dominant. That was not the case b/c I grew those seeds myself. The attached photo is from the same batch of seeds last August...Indica dominant as you can see. It also took me 82 days to flower that jelly fish plant as opposed to the normal 60 for the other ones I have been growing on and off for 2 years from the exact same stock.

yeah, there's enough light. I have 14 26W CFL's surrounding my 3 plants at every possible angle. =P As for strain, it's THC Bomb from marijuana-seeds.nl

I wouldn't just base the strain on this seed however, as both other plants are also THC Bomb and they incredibly different (much better). And yeah, it's already lagging significantly behind the other 2 plants. The plant w/ bigger buds is now on day 45ish of flowering, the other 2 are day 35ish. Bloom-wise, this plant looks like the others did about 2 weeks ago or more. Oh well.

that sucks. hope i never run into that issue. i suppose it's less likely to happen with solid name brand strains.

It actually is a pretty well known strain. It's used a lot in commercial grows. The problem might be the seedbank however. I was sent 20 seeds of thc bomb, and the majority were a light to medium tan color, not the darker brown that signifies a fully matured seed. I'm going to wait to pass judgement on them until I harvest.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with where the other 2 are at. The main cola on the 45 day plant has about 6-8 straight inches of buds and it still has at LEAST 4 weeks until harvest so it could be a monster!

I'm using the same lighting set-up for my next grow if my beans would ever arrive. Only I'm using them to supplement my sun room during the winter to eliminate the stretch issue I had last year.

To misty,

The potency of the bud was the same as the others, but the jellyfish was fluff bud as I call it...not as dense.

I almost abandoned that plant, then I got stubborn with it and finished her up. She also refused to flower, had to force it in the closet and took almost 2 weeks to show a pistil. I'm glad I did though, gave me good practice indoors for those stubborn land race strains I haven't tried yet.
