Is growth rate exponential?? ... Discuss

I have noticed that after the first few slower weeks from seedling the growth rate of my 4 plants has soared.

This did coincide with nailing the waterng cycle, and starting to pH adjust my water to 6.5, and improving the reflectiveness of my cupboard.

However this was also about the time they really started to look like bushy mary j plants with massive fan leaves almost as big as my hand even though they are only 8-10" tall.

This made me think "the bigger the plant, the more light it can absorb and process, the faster it will grow"... and round and round,

So in theory the growth rate should kind of be exponential?? This won't help my grow in any way, but just something that made me curious so I thought I'd try and get some thoughts.

Happy Growing

Definitely, once the plant has built up enough fan leaves and strong root base, they really start to take off. I've found that some strains start slower than others. My OG kush started really slow but now it is probably my healthiest plant :)
