1 week in I had Germinated 5 seeds,
4 seeds Sprouted, but due to the humidity cup technique one of my sprouts took on mold and died so I re-germinated 2 more
Hello ! Some of your plants have a genetic issue , that's why you miss a leaf on your plant and you have distorted leaves on an other one , the discoloration on the lower leaves is a mutation called variegation but nothing really problematic here as you plant will grow and thrive until harvest. The issue is coming from the white widow lineage as your others plants looks over watered but not distorted. And it is clearly not a PH fluctuation issue as as seedling would have signs of it quick ( not your case ) and die quicker. Just manage to give them less water , maybe less feeding too as your soil may be pre fertilized. I hope it will help you 😁✌️🏼
Hey there @Jemainnermorris2011! First off your white widow has a genetic problem NOT a watering problem so no need to change that. No worries it happens time to time. Especially with autoflowering genetics. Its very difficult to get a stable version of autoflowers because the trait is recessive naturally. This leads to genetics that are not "True breeding" aka pure bred and are only "stable" and sometimes gives deformations like this. Take care of the other leaf and you will be fine. The rest of the plants are in perfect health so far. Best of luck finishing out the grow! Please fee free to ask any more questions you may have! 😎
Hi Jermaine , i'm not liking how the WWs are going actually, that's not looking good to me. I think you're experiencing PH-related problems due to an irregular or insufficient watering schedule. I can't really see how much you've been watering but i've had the same problem as you. If you're incoming PH is 6, the soil buffers it out to 6.5 and this is causing some sort of difficulty for the seedlings. If you're feeding 6.5PH and the runoff is 6.0 then your soil is not doing it's job buffering the PH and this is causing these problems. Sometimes if you let the soil go too dry, or stay to humid, it will mess with the PH and cause these wilting issues i can see in the pictures. Only thing you can do is not let the soil stay so dry for so long and avoid over watering, stick to a strict wet / dry cycle and water water feed water water feed schedule. This should allow the seedlings to recover, and grow BIG ! So to answer your question : it's a mix of totally normal but slightly unstable genetics in the early life of a plant (not so bad!) and PH-fluctuations causing nutrient lock outs and difficulties for the seedlings. Hope this helps ! 🚀
Had to re germinate 2 seeds but the other 3 are going strong began feeding them 2ml/l of Advaced Nutrients Iguana Juice Grow, and the new sprouts are looking good as well. excited to see how feeding goes for the older ones.
I’ve notice new growth between the nodes on a few plants, at the end of week 3 of Veg going into week 4, wondering if this is the beginning signs of Flower?
everything looks great, plants don’t seem to look over watered anymore, seems like their reacting to the feeding good as well, the White Widdows that started out sketchy also look great so just looking forward to good things next week. Thanks for all the help lmk if you see anything I’ve missed
Noticed that four out of the five plants have began to pre-flower at week five so I’m beginning to switch my nutrients from grow to bloom and soon after that I’ll be adding my bloom booster..I’m wondering if I should Switch from my grow nutrients to my bloom nutrients as soon as I seen those pistols or should I give it another week
Noticed the tips turning yellow so I dialed down my nutrients 3/4 to see how the plants adjust I didn’t want to risk burning them so I’ll keep eye out from here on but everything looks great
IVe notices the tips on the fan leave have turned yellow or maybe a little burned looking so I’ve dialed back the nutes about %75 and I will do just PH water next time I water them
Critical Mass set it’s apart from the rest with its stunning tricome production and amazing aroma of trperns the bud structure is also unique all in itself almost the perfect Christmas tree shape, the Quarter Pounder is coming along amazing as well with its nice bud solid looking bud structure
last few weeks I’m going to fuc is on flushing, allowing the buds to pack on mass and stack up those trichomes, the smell is strong with the aroma of sweet, fruity pines I can’t wait to taste it
@jermainemorris2011 To answer your comment question: Does the nutrient schedule you are following have a 'transition' stage for nutrients? That's where you should be. If the schedule only has a Veg/Bloom schedule then after seeing the preflower pistils I would continue 5-7 days of the final veg nutrients before switching to the first week of Bloom nutrients. Of course every plant is different but if you have never grown the strain before this is the method I would use. 😎
Your grow looks to be progressing pretty darn well buddy. I'm pretty excited to see what types of methods you plan on using to train and flower these girls. Best wishes my friend :D

@Jermaine The WW genetics here are genuinely unfortunate the two seedlings both show very unstable genetics. If you decide to keep them make sure you fill us in! Personally I would keep the single leaf and swap the deformed one with a different plant for a better result.
