Stunted? Worth the time to let it go

Plant is a Runtz auto, 5 weeks old and started real slow. At around 4-5 inches tall it’s getting pistols. Is it worth letting it grow or has it stunted. Hate messing with stunted plants.


Coco or soil?

Stunting is a symptom of overwatering in soil. Coco is treated differently and I don’t have coco experience. Let’s let others weigh in.

Unfortunately, being an auto, going in full flower, you’re looking at about the biggest the plant will get. Usually, as previously, over watering is the cause, but sometimes, the extra genetics from the ruderalis throw the plants growth cycle out of whack.

If I may, how old is the plant and how much water did she start with??

I can’t tell you what’s worth it to you, but this is my first go around with a stunted plant(s) - I had more than one this grow, and I had other healthy plants going so I let them ride. Here’s an Amnesia Haze auto I just harvested today. Sorry for the poor quality pics.
Edit: I’m guessing going to yield 1 to 1 1/2 ozs. Maybe 2 :crossed_fingers:

If it’s only 5 weeks old, don’t assume it’s stunted. It’s barely made the transition from seedling to vegging plant. Also, newly emerging vegetation sometimes looks like pistils at first. It does look hungry, though.
