Is my plant a ruderalis?

My buddy came by who is growing as well and said my plants look different than his.

I picked off a lead off mine

Is this a ruderalis plant?

You can't tell by looking at a leaf. If it starts flowering on it's own then yes.

You both could have had different phenos....but you can't tell by the leaf.

Oh thank god they're 9 weeks hasn't started flowering

Here they are. So I messed up by not giving them nutrients and they went under a little stress because I didn't switch them over to 18 and 6


How they look boys?

First time growing...got another 30 seeds germinating

Those plants are 9 weeks old? Most autos come into flower after about 5 weeks. If you want them to flower, you need to go to 12/12 not 18/6. 18/6 is for veg.

...and you have 30 more coming?

Under a single burple light?

It's a led light...it's pink spectrum that's why it looks purple. I want them to keep vegging. Looking to switch them over to 12 and 12 in 3 weeks once theyre a bit bigger??

Will be getting more lights for the other 30 obviously...first time give me a break

I'm well aware of why it looks purple. On this site, those are referred to a "burple" lights. Typically lights bought on eBay or Amazon boasting "1000W output". In reality, they're normally about 60-100W of true output and new growers get discouraged by why their plants don't work out the way they had hoped. Any light in that category is called a "Burple".

That light is seriously under-powered for what you're trying to do here. The light is your problem. At 9-weeks under a good light, your plants should be 4-ft tall and look like shrubs you'd plant outside a house. For reference. These two (bigger) plants are in week 5 of veg (18/6). The smaller one is in week 3. (I just flipped them to 12/12 this week.) Big ones are 3' tall and 2' wide. If I'd vegged these for 9 weeks, they'd be 5' tall.

Well aware that they're only 40 to 100 watts. That's what I bought them advertised as....so I didn't get fooled or anything.

Since the power is so low...I'd like to get them longer. Keep in mind I've given them NO food as well till yesterday for first time.. again this is my first time growing so I'm just looking for tips on how I can make my grow better when I germinate these next 30 seeds

I intended to keep them small and not grow so large so I could just experiment...was not hoping to get a big yield or anything.

Any advice helps! Since I f'd up on the food and light it's why they're so small...
