I tend to root for the underdog and like the idea of stuff being worth the wait. Mutants, finding something unique and rare. The mystique and allure. That said, these slow starters seem to be part of the Blue types in some of DJ’s work. A buddy had a Vanilluna back in the day that was a slow starter and stayed tiny like a goofed up seedling for a month or two. Then all of a sudden it gained some traction and grew vigorously! It was very good medicine and a favorite.
There is a fairly recent thread someone posted here about a funny looking seedling, which is also a Blue type. Flo of some sort of I’m not mistaken. Here’s a link to the thread:
It’s not showing the exact same growth characteristics as yours but someone’s comment touched on something that is quite fascinating. @SulfurKingWeedTodd mentioned faulty Molybdenum channels. An enjoyable rabbit hole for me to delve into. A lot of the slow starting green types seem to show a sort of mutated look that seems to almost be expressing whiptail leaf morphology. I wonder how accurate that is or if it’s just my imagination. Many blessings and much love
