Week G: Germination Stage I started with two Orange Sherbet Auto seeds for this grow. One seed cracked and started growing as expected, but the other didn’t show any signs of life. I planted it anyway, thinking it might surprise me. After four days, I figured it hadn’t worked. But when I brushed the surface of the soil, I found two entangled seedlings—definitely not what I expected! I carefully separated them and placed each in its own solo cup. I hadn’t seen this before, so I searched online and found out that these are polyembryonic seedlings. Basically, that means it’s a “twin cannabis seed.” Some seeds can produce two plants instead of one. One of the seedlings is usually stronger, while the other one might be a bit weaker. It’s rare, and sometimes the weaker seedling doesn’t survive, but I’m giving both a shot to see how they do. For now, I’m going to watch how they develop. This is only my second grow in the cupboard, and eventually, I plan to take these two outdoors. I’ve got another diary tracking the progress of the other seed, which you can follow here: https://growdiaries.com/diaries/234999-orange-sherbet-auto-grow-journal-by-biglegs-cupboard I’m using a locally made seedling mix that I bought from a grow shop online. I’ve used it before, and it’s always worked well—my seedlings seem to thrive in it. I haven’t started any nutrients yet, but I plan to use Big Plant Science nutes once the seedlings are ready for feeding. Setup: Medium: Locally made seedling mix from an online grow shop Lights: DLI set to 12 Nutrients: Big Plant Science (not yet introduced at this stage) The plan is to keep both seedlings growing and see what happens. I’m curious if the weaker one will catch up or if the stronger one will just take off on its own. Since these are polyembryonic seedlings, there’s a chance the weaker one won’t thrive, but it’s all part of the learning process. I’ll keep monitoring their progress and see how it goes from here. This is all a bit of an experiment, but it’s also a great chance to learn. I’m still relatively new to growing, so I’m taking it one step at a time. If anyone else has dealt with polyembryonic seedlings or has any advice, feel free to share! I’m always open to learning from other growers.

Having never come across polyembrionic seedlings, this is a new and very interesting grow. I look forward to seeing this one play out. I hope they are symbiotic and not parasitic with each other. Double the yield would be a result, from the Siamese Sherbet!

@Knightvision, well I've been putting sts spray on them for the last week, if I get some viable pollen, and eventually seeds, then I will certainly name them Siamese Sherbert!

@Fast_Buds, are these likely to be clones of the mother, seeing as they are twins from one seed?
