Week 1 Germination was.. something. Had originally bought two strains, Northern Lights and Wedding Gelato (From RQS). I only intend growing two plants at the moment, but I started by moistening up a paper-towel, then wrapping it around the seeds. I them between two plates, in a semi-warm location. I started with two seeds from each strain, so that I had a backup, but neither of the Wedding Gelato's popped. I think I was a bit too eager, and disturbed the seeds by checking too often. In any case, maybe a blessing in disguise that one strain didn't pop, as I've come to know that it's a beginner mistake to try to grow two strains at once, if you're not prepared to do so. I intended to grow one of each plant, but I am not left with two Northen Lights which is the strain I had the most interest in anyways. One seed took a bit longer than the other to emerge from the soil, so right now that plant is slightly smaller. I do have labels to keep track of which plant is which, and how often I'm watering / feeding. I haven't added any nutrients yet, included schedule says to start at week 2, and I'll be starting at half strength. It's been very humid, which I think the seedlings like, but also very hot, which I don't think they like. Luckily, nothing extreme. Temperatures should start getting colder, and I'll be getting a dehumidifier soon enough.

Manmanstarted grow question a year ago
Plant 2 has less trichomes than plant 1, despite being the same strain. The hairs are darkening and curling earlier, and the calyx have slightly purpled tips. Is this just unlucky pheno? Or if it's signs of something wrong, then what could it be?

Appears to be some feeding differences too. But most obvious is the first pic appears to be pollinated up top

Looking good! Dont sweat those yellow spots, I feel like they just sometimes occur during rapid growth. If your soil mix is anything close to the usual light-mixes available you should have enough nutrients for the first few weeks in there. Got some RQS NorthernLight seeds with my last order, so I'll watch closely😏

@Fuzzel, Thanks! I'm using BioBizz All-Mix. I'm loosely following the nutrient chart that is provided for the soil. For some reason, the yellow-spotted plant is growing significantly faster than the other. I also noticed it had a much bigger root-system when I transplanted it.
