Can my plants recover?

I was planning to have 1 month of veg for my plants before flowering. I started my plants in a big piece of rockwool and listened to some advice about keeping these plants in just rockwool until they show roots coming out the bottom before transplant.I also didn't pay much attention to ph. I waited 25 days and didn't see any roots. So needless to say i did the wrong thing. So anyway i transplanted into hydroponic setup a little over a week ago and I'm already seeing MUCH faster growth than before.
 Just my main stem is pretty small and the plant looks a bit like a bonsai version of a normal plant. Should i just get a clone and start growing for the one month or should i keep with this girl (that's bigger than a clone)? Thisonly has it's 5th pair of leaves and they're not much bigger in diameter than one quarter the top of the 5 gallon bucket. :(

TLDR

Sorry bout that. well basically my plant is stunted looking like a bonsai version of a normal plant. i'm wondering if i should stick with this one or get a smaller clone that hasn't been stunted to go with. My plant is healthy now, no longer drooping, all green, starting to go. i fixed the plant so will the earlier unhealthy 25 days of life effect it's future growth?

it may but only slightly and you probably wont notice. You could just mother that plant from the sounds and pull clones off of it for a while

If it's healthy, and good I would just grow it. Raise it up on something to get it closer to the light to match the level of the canopy of other plants if there are more in your room.

If you keep it healthy from now on, it should be fine.

Got pics?

most likely....but there's no reason to toss it out.

It should produce just fine...no?
It should produce fine... but i don't want to waste the space if this is gonna produce like just a quarter and i can pick up a clone and veg for a month and produce a lot more...

so....basically you beat the plant up due to ignorance and now your gonna kill it over a few grams instead of treating it right?
..and you want our opinions?

mkay. i won't wish you luck with that.

I agree. To waste the plant now over maybe a 20 or 30% (if that)difference on what appears to be a one plant operation seems silly. Especially when you consider the time to grow a clone out to roughly the same stage as this plant.

Keep your roots happy from now on, grow the plant. Most likely will turn out to be a nice plant.

Some of the best plants I have had were rescued from near death.

Hey man, I made a mistake... I followed the wrong advice. I'm a newb that's why i'm in here. I had my plant root bound not really beat up, just a little droopy with a purple stem. I'm not gonna make that mistake again. I only have a small amount of time to do this and a limited amount of space/nutes/lights. I want to know what's the best way to get the maximum yield for my cash and effort. Isn't that what everyone wants?

Edit: Thanks for the encouraging words of advice devildog! I'll stick with it. I just wanted to make sure that my plant wasn't going to be stunted permanently because it began it's life in turmoil, similar as some troubled, jailed youth i know..

I would just add....make sure the plant has started to recover, and even better, get another week or two of veg if needed prior to flowering. Just make sure the plant is healthy before triggering flowering basically.

Good luck. Post back if needed.
