Is there any reason it would have stunted? Transplanting, heat, nutes? How long has it been since you've noticed growth? & as for skinny, you haven't topped it or anything and some plants just focus less on the shoots and more on that one main branch The leaves look healthy but it does look kind of small for 3 months. Goodluck

Be a good time to look into lst,But we need alot more info lights,nutes,etc.
Topping will let the bottom catch up,and slow the height if your using cfls,fluros keep em close to prevent
it from streching anymore.

If thats the only one your growing Id for sure do some LST on it,Alot of good things can be done with a GOOD
LSTn.pun intended!!!

Do not top it-- train it... and get some fans blowing on it AND more light CLOSER to the plant-- that causes tall skinny plants- not enough light too far away and not enough airflow for the plant to "move" while growing in order to stregnthen the stems...

There are some links below (to another site- be forewarned-- but you do NOT need to sign-up or anything to read these links) They may help a bit. Some are for basic info that could give you some insight as to what you may be doing wrong, and the others show you step by step how to tie your plants so you can get a better canopy.

Good Luck hun!

LST and topping won't do anything if the plant isn't growing. I thought the plant looked fine until I read that it's 3 months old. It doesn't seem to be deprived or over fed nutrients. I'm guessing it's just the strain you have going. Re-potting it into a bigger container may help as you may be limiting it's growth by having a massive root-ball going on under the soil.

Its growing,Just not as fast as he would like,Looks like a indica dom strain also.
Think you need to look into your lighting.......They need to be 3" to 4" max from the plant if cfls.
