too short? but over 12 leaves?

allright, the plant i had that died.. (sigh)... anyways before it got perm killed... it was fucking short!! like 4 inches high.. with like over 12 leaves.. it was a decent size plant but no height to it at all... vs everyone elses plants.. they were like 6 inches at 2 weeks WTF? do i have too much light?

btw it died because my friends parents pulled it out and through it in the trash.... not because of health reasons... so anybody? it looks very healthy.. but just short short stem...

sometimes nute lock out can stunt a plants upward growth. If in doubt flush it out. Probably not funny right now. VV
