Question about stretch

[floroscroger]

I have an indidca dom. plant of unknown origin that was put into 12/12 13 days ago.In this time the plant has only grown about an inch. Is this normal for an indica? I am not a new grower. I have been growing for about 3 years now but have never grown an indica before. I usually scrog my plants but I only used lst on this one. It didn't look like it would do as well under a screen. I don't know for sure how long I vedged but I'm sure it was more than 8 weeks.

My soil is an organic remix That contain both peat and coco, ewc, blood meal, bone meal, kelp meal and perlite. I feed with organic teas.
My cabnet is 51"x21" and is 27" in height. I flower under 576 watts of 4' t-8 floresent tubes.

Here's a picture from the top

be patient they'll come around.
they look very bushy and low profile, did you trim them or suppercrop?
if so then you won't get huge stretch, especially not with an indica.

hey suby,
Thanks for the reply. All of the pictures are of the same plant. I dropped it when it was younger and broke the top at the fith node. I just bent it over and tied down the branches. No supercropping on this one.

jah man, let it do its thing.

you have other plants of same genes that behave differently?

if not... enjoy the show, that thing looks nice.

I think we have a winner for the lowest profile plant ever.
Are you sure your not growin lowryder? lol
Did you happen to drop a safe on this plant by accident?

BTW if you WANT stretch just increase the nitrate during stretch and reduce the ammonium nitrogen a la flora nova gro.

Dropping and LST training will do that to a plant but no worries your sort of scrogging which is a great way to increases yield, you won't get those huge donkey dick buds but you will likely get ALOT of medium sized buds.
Plants with only 1 main stem or 2 will stretch out a bit but you have alot so it will stay short.
IMHO they are happy and healthy so just be patient.

Here is how she was.

This is how I usually grow them.Day 63 of 70


It doesn't even mater how long you vedge you can still keep them short.
