Am I growing lettuce here?

Friken plant is like 3" tall with 14-19 nodes? Starting to think I have some sort of freak on my hands. Oh, It has like 3 stalks in one if you look close. What the hell is going on?

No this is something environmental i am almost positive. So lets start at the top:
temps
lighting
good air flow
what type of system
nutrient ppms
ph

Led's will fucking create the tightest node spacing, lift it up a few inches it should start stretching a little. other than that it looks like your temps could be lower, or you have an outdoor preferred strain because your leaves are foldin

Sorry it took so long for a reply. This post took a long time to show up. Bet here goes.

Strain: Barney's Pineapple Chunk=fem
Nutes: Flora Duo A+B
Grow Method: Bubble Ponics
Lights, CFL 6500K x 4 x 23watt + Sunshine Systems 28w http://www.amazon.com/Sunshine-Syste.../dp/B001N4NKB8
Humidity: 45% Temp: 78deg constant. Water temp 76deg at night 83 during the day. Cold air intake is located right next to the bucket.
1x Co2 pads
2x 4" inline with filter.
1x Intake powered by CPU fan.

The nutes PPM i have no idea. But according to the directions it's a mild mix. Slowly feeding more and more during water flush(once weekly) to avoid nute burn.
Thanks for any help!!

Temps I thought were low. But I did raise the lights like you said. I think that might work as you suggested. Certainly makes sense.

how old is the plant?

really? dam personally i think its looking good, maybe back the light away from it a little so it starts reaching but.....nice fat grean leaves that plnat is growing and gonna be a beast!!!

Water temp is way too high. At that temp it holds very little dissolved oxygen and you will get slime. Get it under 72 and make sure you have a strong air pump and good stone. 1watt per gallon seems to be the recommendation I've seen.

how do the roots look?

Yes, I am having a hard time balancing air temp and water temp. What do you suppose the air temp should be? I actually have pretty good control on that.

Air at 75-78. You can freeze water bottles and cycle through the res to keep temps down if there's room

Here's a pic of the roots. I am almost embarrassed. But not sure where they should be day 20. Then I added a new growth pic.

Get the res temp down. The roots look fine but are starving for oxygen.

Alright bro will do. I have a couple of water bottles in the freezer now. Maybe the only thing saving this plant is the dual stone double pump.. Looking at your journal I can tell you have some good advice. Your shit it stellar!

Sweet, she will do fine once that is handled. Always a learning experience

are your lights on 24/7?

i get 90% of my vertical growth in the dark =P my plants main stem is just around 5 inches. i was on 20/4 but i'm adding about 30minutes of darkness a day as i head into 12/12.
