Whats the deal with this plant? Is it a dwarf or something? Is it possible i stunted it somehow? Is it waiting to have a growth spurt? Its 34 days old in happy frog/ jiffy seed starter soil/worm castings mix and has only had water , until about a week ago i topdressed with a sprinkle of dr earth dry fertilizer. Its a bruce banner 3 feminized ,the 2nd pic is a blueberry widow plant sprouted same day and same soil/ treatment etc third pic is a side by side. Im kinda worried about her and was planning on transplanting and moving them outside in a few weeks but am wondering if i should cut my losses on this one ? Thanks
Dwarf? Shrimp? Runt?

If i had 2 guess my first thought would be some kinda root problem below. Gnats, rot, ect. Did you transplant into current container? How did you start the ladies? I wouldn't toss it unless it herms... if it's tiny grow around it and take the 2-3 ounces she gives ya.

I thought that 2 at first but they truly do look drastically different, the one has almost no latteral growth, looks like she just stopped

3 strains here a few days ago. All 4/20. And nothing new.
What says roots? Is it pest , fungal or bacterial as diagnosed? I'm curious what I missed.
Shes growing sort of, just not out much. I started them in the pots they are in 2.5 gallon pots. It has been a little slow to need water it takes about a week before the pot feels light. I have thought maybe the drainage was bad but have been careful not to overwater but could the roots be the problem still?

Nah boss, not saying it has any problem. Don't see any signs of anything other than the tiny stature of it in comparison to her peers. Just if I was seriously guessing I would assume root damage to stunt the growth or a pest problem about to show its self. Hopefully it's just a compact heavy producer.

From pics I see a short structured healthy plant. And obviously needing less light than the other.

c-99 may get to 4'6". And pre 98 BK is under 5'6" and finish really quick. My strains and I have the seedlings to show now. Is all I saw. And I prefer to not scare the people trying to grow. LOL. And Peace.

Do you see gnats? No signs. Just chatting. Carry on. Plant will most likely be short and dense. Finish earlier than other.
No worries as I saw.

I see nothing to indicate any pest issue. Plant is healthy just small. Not all siblings are the same.

Genetics probably. I can pop 30 seeds of the same strain, and they all look and grow differently. Some tall and lanky, and their sisters right next to them look like bonsai trees. Thats why they call it Pheno Hunting.

I think the appropriate term is little plants.

I have a Northern Lights (Canuk Seeds freebie)plant growing now, that I was calling my little runt. Thankfully she has gained a little steam and is looking wonderful now at day 41 of veg. First pic is from week 3 of veg and 2nd pic is from just 2 days ago (roughly midway of Week 6 in veg. Fabric 7G grow bag from start) Same thing happened to me and a Black Sugar freebie runt I got from Seedsman.

I've had the same problem lately, never before in my on and off growing in the past 20 years..
