It was a good result as I only had 1 seed and she popped up real fast and just worried the fan leaves aren't developing faster...but I think its to do with the seed pod sticking to them the first few days :(

@Growyo Hi mate I like start one week after germination with a quarter strength Mix of some root booster like seaweed/kelp and a nutrient mix suited for the vegetative stage ie more nitrogen than P+K. It is especcially important not to overwater as your roots need oxygen just like us and too much water can inhibit the plants ability to breath Hope this helps mate and anything you else feel free to send me a message and i will do my best to provide an answer Good luck

All seems good, still giving it tlc and results are on track. Growth may be slightly behind due to pod not detaching first few days.

I had a prem baby :( she is way behind growth schedule but is catching up faster now. Giving her complete organic supersoil grow. Perhaps also why growth is slower... Any tips would be appreciated! Using Seagro- worm wee- blackstrap molasses-Epsom salts and compost tea. Using a natural co2 maker(with sugar and yeast). Small humidifier also in there and treated RO water👍

Feeding should be done by ppm. Week 1 is seedling. No nutes until your first 3 finger leaf set. Then feed 400 -500ppm @6.3 pH 1 feed one water one feed one water. Mix the nutes you plan to use per the manufactures recommendation (5ml per gal etc etc) in a 1 gallon storage container, then add 1/10th to a new gallon and the rest with 6.3 pH clean water. Measure your ppm. Under 500? Add a little more to get up to 500. Over 500 ppm? Drain off and replace with water until you're close. Always pH 6.3 and make sure it's stable about soil temp before feeding. The Sapphire OG was a hard start for me too, but at week 6 after it rooted I have 12 colas ready to flip this weekend and healthy

A suggestion: add a nitrogen rich nutes asap @500-600 ppm . Your leaves are pale and the slow growing tells me she's starving. Looks sativa dominant too. Little food and you'll be in business
