Healthy Northern Lights plant, but abnormally small?

Lights- 2 65w t5 bulbs + 2 42W 6500k CFLs

Soil- Perlite, mushroom composte, peatmoss in a 3 gallon bucket

Temp/humidity is average

Watered with distilled water and tap water.

The plant comes from a feminized northern lights seed. It is currently 14 days since sprout. It is no more than 4 inches in heighth and no more than 7 in diameter (from leaf tip to leaf tip)

However, the 5th node is currently forming, and there is a lot of active growth at the points where the nodes meet the stalk.

The leaves all look healthy, everything looks good, but it seems strange to have 5 nodes so close together? The leaves are not really fanning out either, they are slightly "tacod".

Is this a healthy plant or is there a problem?​

I'm doing a 1st time nl#5 grow. Mine is 30 days old, 10 inches tall, 17 inches across, and has about 10 nodes. I've kept the lights close in, which is what I think is helping to keep it short. Looks great. Nl is one squat strain, sounds like yours is fine.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. Another plant (Mazar) has only a 10 day head start on the NL I was questioning about, and is about 4 times the size. (It has been growing in Miracle Grow organic potting soil though- It was supposed to be a "test run" that had ended up being kept)


I'm specifically curious as to why the plant is as small as it is, considering the same lights and only 10 more days produced a massively large plant.


Growone- Thx for the reply, there are so many pics of leaves growing at the very end of long stems, and then I see my girl with 6 nodes all crammed together, and I start wondering she is a dwarf or something....
