DWC veg

Hi I’m posting this looking for some answers because of my many years of this I have never encountered such a problem please don’t turn this thread into arguments I would like other advanced growers to evaluate and throw ideas out there to see if I could save it or just throw it away

So I have planted 9 Hindu Kush from sensi and they are now 6-7 weeks in the veg system which is DWC my humidity was at 38% which I know causes the woddy stalks and slow growth but I’ve had it corrected so it’s solidly at 65-70 everything is dialled in and I can’t say it’s a mutation because it’s every plant my plants are still only 2 inches tall with huge roots for the size and on this 2 inch of height I have about 10 nodes in that area it’s like the cell division and elongation is dormant in the plants I’ve thought about adding some gibberellins or brassino but would like to see if it’ll take off first all my perimeters are in check temp/humidity/ppfd and I’m not a noob I would consider myself a very advanced grower but this has me stunned
Any help or should I just throw it away?

I would say genetics

What’s the chances of all 9 though, and I’ve never seen anything so small think 7 weeks old from fem seeds and 2 inches tall with roots of a 12 inch plant and normally they’d be about 16 inc at this age they also stink with no bud sites very dry and tough plants though idk what to do @SofaKingHigh_

Im not even a total hydroponics (I use coco) but from past pics I seen. Your roots don't seem to look all that.

They ain’t all that but they’re bigger roots than 5cm plants should have I’m not saying they’re big just big roots for plant size plus there’s not a lot of feeder roots either idk it’s not a dick swinging comp I just want to know what it could be

No " dick swinging " here buddy. Just saying your roots look like shit for plants that old. In hydro

Healthy roots

To much ppm for young plant

Good luck though

Very dark and clawed

Its 6-7 weeks old. Is that young ?

What nutes? PPM/EC? PH? I've never seen anything like this..

super strange.....

bro your comparing his little 5cm plants roots too these roots?

why lmfao these plants look like they're way bigger than 5cm thus a much larger root system.........

this comparison is pointless lmfao

brother i am in coco coir and after 6-7 weeks of veg my plants would be monsters....

this last grow i vegged for 24 days from germination and my plant reached like 3ft or 4ft tall lmfao

my opinion kill this grow asap, wasting anymore time on this grow is not a good idea at all.

clean your grow room and equipment really good.

and start over with genetics from a different source.

also if your not good at determining the amount of nutrient solution your plants should be receiving in hydroponics during different stages of growth i recommend you buy fertilizers made for cannabis and made for hydro that tell you exactly how much too use during the seedling stage, veg stage, etc.

honestly your plants are 6-7 weeks old in DWC that root system is pathetic for the age of the plant, there is obviously something wrong with root development as well not just the development of the foliage.

like for a 6-7 week plant your root's and your plants foliage are both horrible in size kill this grow asap and start over. spending anymore time on this is a big mistake.

Your plants look very dark, but having those roots is probably keeping the tip burn at bay. Less nitrogen, might help. Maybe just a little lower EC. What are your nute temps? Lower temps could stunt growth. Light distance? You might be able to induce stretch with weaker light. Do you have fans on them? What about your tent temps? When my girls are cold they don't stretch as much as they do when they are hot. Are you supplementing CO2? Have you asked the seed company, what could be affecting your plants?

"Bro" I was showing a picture of healthy roots. That is all
