Day 1 - Missing a bunch of cotyledon! I was really up in the air about whether to throw her out but decided to be sentimental and cheap about it. I pays off!
Day 2 - Her first real leaves take over for the bad seed leaves.
Day 3 - She refuses to give up! second set of leaves working their way up.

This gal is a struggler! She came out of the dirt half formed, blackened, missing 1.25 cotyledons and generally looking like poo. She has since recovered and is growing like gangbusters!
Great Lakes Water Only live soil, 3x Cree COBs at 63w each, (195w), PHed water and not much else.
She probably won't put out as much of a yield as her sister, but it looks like she still wants to deliver the goods.
@SCAR17s, I know right!?! This was a plant that was born half blackened and missing a cotyledon leaf, too! Classic underdog story! :-D so proud of her. She'll be the one I remember most of my first grow.
What ever your doing keep it up she looks great. Keep an eye on the leaves/buds. The highest leaves are showing signs of the beginning of light burn. Could be those parts are more directly centered under the light where it is most intense. I dealt with a simular issue on my grow. I was a bit faked out thought it was a deficiency. If shes close to her chop day you could cut down to 20hrs of light it might help.
@Philindicus, Yeah she's a weird plant, actually. She was heavily LSTed and had a flat canopy. I mean super flat, and at day 56, out of the blue, maybe five days after her flower stretch ended, she just decided to shoot a dominant cola out of the center of her mass. I mean she was DONE going up for days and all of the sudden BLOOP, a top, sticking six inches up. Was so weird. And then of course her main canopy, which is made up of eleven or twelve 12 inch colas is at a perfect height.
So I'm kind of stuck in a dilemma at this point. Let her other colas get the right amount of light and risk damage to that dominant or let the unanticipated dominant get all the glory at the possible expense of a whole lot of yield.
So I decided to let her get a bit bleached. We're at day 62 of a strain whose parents are a 55-65 day grower (Sour Crack) and a 70-75 day grower, (Samsquanch OG.) so I'm guessing that she's got maybe a week or two at the outside? I'm not sure. I guess you never know with gen 1 crossbreeds. If it looks like that top will get irreparable damage before the end of her life cycle I may take some action.
Does that make any sense?
