Automatic FEM Blueberry is very short for its age- I think

Automatic FEM Blueberry question.

For those who know this strain I have seen some pictures and mine looks very compact and for its age

Its under a 250w CFL and its almost 25 days old from sprout.

Should I move the light out further so maybe it will stretch? I have the light about 5 “ away now.
Any ideas please let me know. Its fed and watered properly, looks real healthy and green but just very short. I know it won’t grow like a normal plant but this seems odd.

What? Really? That post from earlier today.. Plants dont go from seed to harvest in 24 hrs. At least mine dont, if you find some that do.. PLEASE let me know.

Also.. Search button. Use it.

I'm experiencing similar growth in my plant. Granted I'm not completely sure of the strain (heavy indica though) I believe skunk crossed with ? but anyway its short (not an auto though). I'm also using around the same light. Ive got one 200w and two 42w in a small dresser space. grow time is around 25-30 days and its only 5 inches max. Its bushy and healthy but man is it huggin the ground. Im thinking moving the light as you suggested my help and I also think my temps are a bit high possibly stunting the growth?? How are your temps? It could also just be the lag time difference in growth between MH/HPS vs CFL. One other possibility could be too much nutrients to early on if your already feeding her.

Most autos get explosive growth around day 25.. so maybe within the next couple days or week youll see some improvement. Temps over 90F will slow grow
 
yea it might be heat, its running a little hot at 90 at times but there is lots of air circulation but I will try raising the light some to lower the temps neat the plant and see it that will make it stretch some as well.

Thanks for all the help

i would put it further away. When i had mine really close the plants were bushy, as soon as i raised the light they started to stretch!
