wierd growth on flowering plant

[ShOrTbUs]

i've been putting off asking this question b/c i thought the problem had something to do with what i'm doing. honestly at this point i'm out of ideas as to why this plants is growing so damn weird.

the plant will not stop growing. i'm 8+ weeks into flowering and the plant just keeps getting taller and taller producing nothing but small immature buds. the buds themselves are odd looking as well. they seem to not produce enough caylxes at each site.

i'm going to attempt to take some good photo's so you can better understand what i'm talking about


the 2 pics are of a top that i cut off, b/c the plant will simply not stop growing


air temps: day 73-75, night 63-65
RH - 40%
ph - 5.6 - 6.1
they're getting 3ml-2ml-1ml per liter bloom/micro/cal mag

they haven't received any grow since week 2 of flowering

going to try to get some good photo's of the larger colas

what strain is it?
and is this the only plant of that strain? (ie; if you have more, are they growing like this too?)
could be a very (very) sativa plant? i got no reason why it'd be that slow other than the genetics of it.

are you in soil?..6.3-7.0 PH...and what about light leaks?...looks like she is confused on photoperiod...I got the stretchy light buds because the light from a green light..atleast thats what cured it in my room...I look forward to the pics..

take care and be safe

some of the larger colas and such

i'm in dwc hydro.
the strain is seedsman seeds northern lights.
there are no light leaks.
i have a second plant, she looks just fine. i'll post the pic of her too

this is the other NL girl, a pic i took about a week or so ago

its like the plant is just not producing enough calyxes...i actually just bought a green light 2 days ago. but that can't be the issue, the plant has been acting weird since day 1 of flowering. she more then doubled in size in flowering. from just under 3' to now over 6.5' tall.

 

[ShOrTbUs]

i'm ready to cut it down b/c the smaller, normal plant is so far from the light now that she's getting sub optimal light, and suffering for it. its like trying to grow her under a tree of **

:ciao: Short

sounds like it could just be genetic....I too would pull..is it salvageable at all? hash/oil?...mojo for the grow

take care and be safe

 

[ShOrTbUs]

its starting to sparkle under the light. i mean, i guess i could always wait it out & have a harvest full of popcorn.

thank you 4u for all the advise

Looks like a mutant...I would pull it or push it to the back of your grow space and treat it like a red headed step child.

lol unfortunately i can't just put it in the corner of the grow room. it "is" the grow room. its canopy takes up 80% of the space in the 3'x3' room. i'd say there's about 10 main colas over a foot long of popcorn buds. meanwhile the smaller girl sit's under her with just 2 colas. its like i planted a seed and tried to grow it out directly under a tree

Got ya...didn't know it was that big.

lol the darn thing wont stop growing. it was pinched early in flower, and i've had to cut 6" off the main colas every week for the past 4 weeks b/c they keep growing into the lights. they'd be 8-9' tall if this was an OD grow

Heavy Sativa? Pure Sativa? I like the up high but I am not a fan of Heavy Sats and their long flowering times and weird/lanky growth patterns.

...believe me, when i was planning out this grow. a 7' tree in my closet wasn't exactly part of the plan.

Wow...that is odd then.

for the future; i recommend to do a simple google image search on what you're thinking about purchasing. gives you a better idea of what to expect than the breeder description
*they all show a few pics, sure.. but i guarantee they're of the 'choice' pheno's

i just did, and saw some seedman NL's looked alright, but found a few similar ones to yours (the best NL's that came up, were from others)

..looks like there's a fugly long running sat one.. and you got it.
-from another thread;
"they were seedsman northern lights.. indica my arse , ill never grow them again ."

good luck with the second one. and better luck whatever you fit in the closet next.. fits in the closet a little better
