Popped seed in a glass of water until taproot emerged 24 hours later then added to substrate. 48 hours later and she has emerged from substrate and appears to be missing a cotyledon. Not feeling confident about that.

Growing well. Gave compost tea on Wednesday, plain water all other feedings. As she grows I will low stress train her using soft ties and by burying her stem.

I have been using soft ties to train the main stem around the circumference of the pot. I find it helps me to keep the canopy fairly even and shorter. Fed compost tea on Thursday, plain water all other feedings.

Don’t worry man, I once accidentally pulled off both those initial round leaves whilst trying to remove a stubborn seed casing 🤦‍♂️ I was left with a stem, but after maybe a week or so she finally pushed out her first set of true leaves 😸 Doesn’t appear to have slowed yours down at all, you’d know if it was going to 🤷‍♂️💁‍♂️

@PersonalSmok3s, I had a dig around the substrate and found the seed casing in there and there was a cotyledon sat neatly inside. She has grown so quickly she literally ripped forth from her shell 😅 I’m feeling relaxed about it again as I know that it’s not some weird mutation at least

did read that cotyledons could be damaged if the seed is too deep or soil is too compressed, but I am a total noob, so 🤷‍♂️ Anyhow, wish you good luck!
