Plant stunted?

I have been reading a couple forum posts about this but nothing came up that was too similar to mine. I am growing auto speedy gonzales. Most of plants are looking great, almost doubling every couple days. I am around 9 or 11 days. One or two of plants have pretty much stopped growing though and are quickly falling behind the others. All of the plants have been given the exact same treatment. They are in foxfarm, in a rubbermaid, with 10 cfls, and excellent circulation. Just not sure if I should wait it out or let it go. I put a picture of one that has stopped growing and one of my better ones. Big difference.

Here is a picture of one of the ones that has stopped growing:


Here is a picture taken yesterday of one, it is even bigger today

Sometime's plants are just bad. Get rid of them if they can't catch up, as a weak and slow plant is always a shit yield.

but there are exceptions to the rules, i have a skunk that started off really badly and i nearly pulled it, as of now its one of my biggest yielders. i also have three wb in veg, 2 are small(very healthy though) and the other is three times the size. give it a chance and see how it goes but i would say its too early to give up on it yet. maove the plants around aswell because airflow can effect how a plant grows. in my veg room the fresh air comes in at the back and those plants placed there always grow a big bigger.

Yea I will definitely keep it(unless its a male) because a female with 5g is better than a dead female, at least for me anyway. Good to hear that sometimes plants just have growth issues, well not good to hear, but good to know it just happens sometimes.

The 'stunted' plant has kept growing. It has really fat leaves compared to the rest and has stayed a little shorter but it is still going!

With it having much fatter leaves part of the difference might be just because it is more of an indica phenotype and it might always be a bit shorter, but bushier too, and of course have the wide paddle-like leaves.

Unless a 'slow' plant is obviously sickly, don't give up on it. I have had plants that lagged way behind the rest and I had to make stacks of pieces of wood or use bricks to raise the pot so the top would be up by the rest and close to the light. Then one day they would take off faster than 'the coyote' strapped to an Acme rocket and in some cases they turned into my best highest producing plants for that crop.

Hopefully it does well because it is definitely the most unique of the bunch!
Here it is now, looking pretty healthy


Just put a whole bunch of pictures up in my journal too!

So it actually grew nicely. It ended up growing crooked with weird roots and so kind of mini lsted itself. It is looking good and is right on par with all the others.
I will have new pics up in my journal hopefully tomorrow.
