No secondary stem growth

[Professor]

I have one plant, about 2-1/2 weeks from sprout, 4 nodes of growth that's not showing any secondary stems growing out of the nodes. Other plants in the same grow, same and different genetics, same nutes and light, are fine. Should I be patient or scrap this plant? Has anyone else grown a plant that failed to grow secondary stems?

For sure. Happens all the time with not commercial seeds. Just top the plant aggressively over and over. Will take more time and effort but it’s very common in some plants. I have one that grows straight up. Even the side branches. Very brittle they break if I try to bend apart. I can only multiply tops until the height is right and flower with very little horizontal spread. Great bud btw

Thanks very much. Yes it is growing aggressively tall. But now somee secondaries are showing up, and yes, they are very brittle. I'm laying it over to keep it shorter.
