Smaller or slower?

I have 12 clones growing in my new ebb n grow 12 pot system . I'm very happy and proud of how well most of them are growing I just have a couple smaller looking growing all along one side / row. ? First off there all Jack Herer clones that I cut off of one plant and they all rooted and started growing right after transplant till the last few days these few plant slowed down while the others are taking off !!! I thought because they all came from the same mother they will all grow the same? Mabey I should take pictures?

Getting pictures will have to be tomarrow. But basicly what I want to know is what happns to a clone that makes it a runt ?

Depending on how "woody" the cuttings are that you took off that one plant, they will usually take slightly longer to root than the less "woody" ones. There are tradeoffs here IMO. While the longer wait for those, they typically (at least in my experience) turn out to be sturdier, and heartier clones. Personally, I think that's all it is. Hedge the ones growing faster down a little bit and wait for the ones trying to catch up and you'll be fine.

Yesssss I walked in the room this morning and wow there defenetly growing now. It must of been the light ? I've been able to see that they grow better with movable light. I'll keep you posted and will still take some pictures tonight!!!

I agree with you here.. the woodier the clone the longer it will take.. some companies actually have 3 different levels of root hormone... solftwood, hardwood, and inbetween.. i forget the % of hormone
3-5-8 i think..

I would also say it was the light if it was a whole row.. they might not have been getting the coverage the others have been gettting..

There now on week four of veg and there's only a slight differance in highth. I'm probly going one more week just so I can trim off some of the lower branches / posible bud sites. Because I want to stay away from little popcorn buds and instead I'm looking for big juicy buds, main cola and a few side branches. I've grown this strain many times and I know that as soon as I flower they'll double in size real fast so I can trim up to the second week of flower. I'll start one week before and finish one week in then I'll place my bamboo stix and tie up all I can to help keep them from touching too much and will get more light to them . Anyways. Right now my problem is resivor temps . I'm looking for a good chiller mini fridge.
