Stunted Plants ? helpppp

Not sure what's going on with this strain I'm growing. I'm leaning towards just genetics because all of them kind of look like this minus one that I accident topped wrong turned out the be the strongest grower. I'm growing both CBD and THC plants they all started at the same time but the CBD plants seem to be progressing normally. Any thoughts? These are about 40 days old from seed. I've been aggressively pruning to help them out but they don't appear to be responding how I'd like.

This could be your problem.
No reason to aggressively prune plants that size........it stalls grow.

Let her grow!

Plant tries to grow.
Aggressively prune new growth.
Why won’t the plant grow???

What size pots are they in and once you stop cropping, mine shot up after two weeks. I messed one up pruning and now its my biggest and strongest.

I haven't been trimming new growth but more the huge fan leaves these little things have. I have 6 other hemp plants who are doing great it's just this strain specifically is stunty (4 out of 5)

I personally would use bigger containers, but its up to your preference. Pruning does stunt them a minute and the lighting plays a factor on what phase your plant is at. 18/6 for vegging and 12/12 for flowering.

Thanks! I'm doing 18/6 now and hopefully they'll catch up soon I'm leaving them alone for now!

I bet theyll come around now and better than ever. They are tough but finicky plants Happy Growing and keep us posted.

Welcome to RIU

I think my plants are stunted too.

Is there a growth chart that outlines how much a plant should grow every month? My plants are only about 5 inches tall, and over 1 month old now. Seems like it's taking forever to get to 7 inches (when I plan to transplant).

I would transplant now if they are in a small pot. They also need 18 hours of light.
