Ive had a few of these, even with different strains.
right now i have two seedlings. growing the exact same way ive grown my others. everything is the same, thing is they barly grow at all but they dont fade or die. its been two weeks and they are still growing out there first 3 pointed leaves. they got there true leaves, and are working on the next set. and they barly grown the past 2 weeks. the only thing i can geuss is genetics, but ive had these b4 with several diffent strains. they are grown the same as my other plants, which are doing great. i want these to live. they look fine, think they will straightin up eventually? ever had this happen to you? sorry i dont have a working camera. i lost the charger for it and it dont charge with the USB... :( COCAIN!!!!

there not leaning at all, its defintely not over watering. i hadnt watered in weeks cuz there had been light misty rain every couple days. they look just fine, no problems at all, just very slow growth.

If you have other plants doing better in the same soil the slow ones could be runts, sometimes plants don't grow well due to genetics.

seedlings should be good for three weeks without food. if your in soil get some bloodmeal. start out with 1/4 teaspoon no more top dress and lightly water.

Genetic runts are a possibility When I do a seed run I always find one. If its a bunch of them then I would say the soil is a good guess.

yeah, that makes sense. yeah ill try the bloodmeal thing. if it is a genetic thing, i wont breed it just in case. imma order some good fresh beans from herbies and im thinking since those two are prolly gonna be weak and small anyway, imma do a cabinet grow with 8 or 10 100w 6500K CFLs. always wanted to try to grow a shorty, lol

Ok! I'm glad I can weigh in here. Let them grow out is my advice. On my current grow I had four plants, three of which were growing totally normally. Within 3 weeks they had 5-6 nodes and were ready for topping. But one seedling stayed exactly at the stage you're talking about -- still working on the first set of three-leaves. And stay there for something like two weeks without budging. I grow in hydro, and it wasn't really growing lots of short roots. It was growing ONE long root. Just one. It was freaky.

I was going to toss it, but thought it would be a good experiment to leave it alone to see what happened. After a while, the growth picked up, and it started shooting up. Long story short, two of my other three turned out to be male, and between the two females, the one that was stuck as a seedling is by FAR the bigger producer now. It's got the biggest, densest buds I've grown to date. Meanwhile, the other "healthy" female has nice buds, but they're a little small and unimpressive by comparison.

If you have the room, I say grow them out.

Don't know yet -- still around week 5 of flowering. But it's God's Gift, grown from a selfed seed, and I do like that smoke! Great for relaxing in the evening, alleviating stress and anxiety and providing some laughs as well.
