Oh boy, let's get started with my first ever grow. Germination is what I am most afraid of atm🙏 (Maybe I'm even more afraid of mold or vermin but let's try not to worry too much about that) PS: 5th seed isn't a Durban, got it gifted so idk what it is.

It's going well🌳 I don't think that the 5th seed is going to germinate. Not sad about it tho as the last one was a gift anyway. Edit: 5th seed also turned out to germinate :D

Transferred them to bigger pots. Took more soil than I expected so I could not fill them to the top. Kind of unfortunate but I'm still learning so I guess it should work for the first grow.

I am starting to regret not to just buy more soil and waiting a few more days with transferring them...

By now I topped every plant except for the smaller one. I did not want to stress it even more as it is already struggling. Also did some defoliation.

I'm afraid that one of them is a hermaphrodite... Edit: Thanks to you, I am now relieved that it is probably not a hermaphrodite after all.

The pointy things are stipules. Those are not sex organs nor related to sex (you can find some bro-science nonsense out there about where they point relates to male/female, but that is nonsense of retards) The nubs are too young to see a pistils, but probably fine. No worries. You will have a ton of time to react long before any pollen is released. If you see a white hair, all is good. If it starts to project out on a twig and replicate, that's bad. You can always pull off a small preflower, carefuly slice it openn with a razor blade, then use your 30x trichome-scope to look inside. You'll see 2 neatly packed pistils (white hairs) or some nanners clear as day. Smaller but look just like they will when they pop out, either of them.

Das wird scho gut gehen keine sorge. Nur nicht überwässern. Das ist einer der häufigsten Fehler. Ich wünschen dir von Herzen alles gute mit diesem grow. Frohes Weihanchtsfest growmie.

@Stony_German, tatsächlich habe ich mir genau darüber nun Sorgen gemacht. Mir ist schon Wasser unten raus gelaufen und ich habe nicht mal eine Drainage😅Ich bin mir auch nicht sicher, ob ich die Samen evtl. etwas zu tief in die Erde gesetzt habe. Da meint auch irgendwie jeder was anderes aber tendenziell würde ich im Nachhinein sagen, dass die meisten weniger empfehlen. Ab wie vielen Tagen ohne Keimling sollte ich besorgt sein? Und frohes Weihnachtsfest auch dir! Ich finde es toll, wie freundlich die Growcommunity zu Neulingen ist

good luck, i'm curious to see what phenotypes you have. I've had the durban from sensi before, it took 70 days to flower. The effect was great

Hey @Glen1818 same here, can’t wait! Sounds like you had a good experience which reassures me a bit lol. Picking seeds for my first grow was tough but Durban just stood out to me. Heard sativas can be tricky for beginners though. 70 days for flowering sounds about average, right? Anyways, guess we will see how it goes..
