No internodal separation

[UberMensch]

The photos are a couple of the OG Kush I started from seed exactly one month ago. I just topped both a couple of days ago. Both are planted in the same batch of coco/perlite, and both are being fed from the same batch of nutrients. Before they were topped, one appeared to have normal internodal separation, for the other the space between the nodes was practically non existent. After topping it appears that the one is continuing to exhibit practically no internodal separation.

Since they are both growing under the same conditions, I have to wonder if the the "Danny DeVito" plant is showing its genetics.

Do any of you "gurus of ganja" have any thoughts on this?

My seedlings usually start out life with very little internodal separation, and I always chalked it up to using a strong light at somewhat close distances, the opposite of how a seedling will stretch looking for the sun if it doesn’t have strong enough light. But your Danny Devito there is a pretty extreme example. I’m very interested to see if anyone has a good explanation.

[UberMensch]

Rik - I considered the light, but since the others were doing OK I left things alone. Maybe there is enough difference in this one plant that it makes a difference. I think I will back it off a bit and see if it makes a difference.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hey there Rik ol buddy. What the hell are you talking about? Who are you talking to?

Edit: for those of you who read this, I was unable to see the real first post. Somehow, Rik took credit. Fool me once, Rik.
My apologies to all offended by this particular post. Not the others.

My punishment.

[Rik]

There’s that mouth of yours again. I wonder if you talk to people like this in person?

[Gingerbeard]

Darn tootin'!

[Jebidiah]

Try swapping the plants if you can, see if it’s a hot spot under your light.

[UberMensch]

Thanks Jebidiah - I did swap places with one of the other plants just before I topped it and before all of the new (tortured) growth came out.

Bad pheno me thinks. Not seen this one in person though.

[UberMensch]

Going2fast - Yes. Based on my limited knowledge of phenotypes I am leaning toward that conclusion myself. I have read where other folks plant a couple extra seeds more than the number they want to grow, then pick the most healthy ones to continue the grow. I suspect this is the reason.

All part of the learning process I suspect......

Thanks for the feedback.

[Going2fast]

Gingerbeard you go making friends again. I guess you have to be a certain age to get the Danny devito reference.

[Gingerbeard]

I must not be seeing something. I see post #1 coming from Rik . I know Danny DeVito. Just started humming the 'Taxi' theme.

[Going2fast]

Duh duh duh duhh duhh....dink dink dink..chh chh.

Greatest Iggy skit ever.

[Going2fast]

UberMensch you are correct my friend. That's gardening 101. My grampa used to put 4 corn seeds in each hole. Had a saying. One for the sparrow one for the crow one for the groundhog and one to grow.....or something like that.

[Puglover1]

Weird. That's worse than my Northern Lights auto (bastard). Four inches 'tall' when harvested. It was tight-noded, topped and pretty much stopped, but not like that. I got an 1/8th out of the whole plant.

[UberMensch]

Puglover1 - I'm sort of glad to hear that it was not just me! By the way, how do you like the Coast of Maine Stonington Blend?

[Puglover1]

Hi UberMensch I loved it, but I got sick, hospital for 9-10 days, my beautiful plants died from lack of water. I intend to use it again when the seeds I ordered arrive. I bought another bag of SB but I should also be able to reuse some soil from the aborted grow. I used their potting soil for seedlings, and herbs and flowers. A seasoned grower on here used SB with pH'd water only for a grow as an experiment, he said he intended to add Ca or cal-mag to it next time. I added a little bit of perlite to mine.

I had two Northern Lights autos growing when I grew the dwarf. I'd like to be able to describe the difference between the two plants better but my cat topped the other one when it was too young, chewed on young leaves when my back was turned. But I harvested a half ounce that actually got me high, from that one. That seed produced twins, I waited to decide which one to cull/keep, it was a week or so behind. Sounds genetic.

[UberMensch]

I usually visit Stonington every year, I'll probably pick up a couple bags from the source. Curious to give it a try!

[Gingerbeard]

Now... now I understand. Yes. Now, I understand.
Off to find a shiny thing.

[Going2fast]

Had a girlfriend accuse me of having internodal separation once. Thought she was talking bout the gap between my balls.

[Gingerbeard]

G2F, it's okay to say something like that about someone else's balls. Not your own. Makes it too personal. Should any of us who read that meet you, we would only be able to think about your... spacing.

[Rik]

Gingerbeard the explanation you just posted has got me real tickled here, seriously funny. Imagining seeing my post as the initial question and not a reply to UberMensch. That being said, I wanted to clarify my stance on something. I didn’t take “offense” at any time. I think the notion of “taking offense” to everything is a relatively new phenomenon that has had nothing but negative repercussions. My feelings don’t matter, nor do yours for that matter. If anyone has found this to be a rant, well maybe. Back to Donald Fagen…

[Gingerbeard]

'Your opinion of me has nothing to do with me.' I like that.
Offense? I get all sorts of emotions and emotional outbursts and crud, but I don't know true offense.
