12.12.2017 Day 16 The fastest plant is growing nicely, no more stretch, just turning leaves towards the light. I keep turning her to make her move :) The second largest is lagging behind considerabely, but she's also missing a leaf. New growth seems to be normal, but it'll take time to catch up to her sister. The smallest plant really is the runt of the litter. She put up some height in the last few days, so I was able to put some more coco mix in the cup, but she was growing all spindly and strange. It may become a flat plant, but we'll see. I've had one just like this a long time ago and she did become flat, but I hope that won't be the case here. I don't have much time to take care of them, so I rely on Mother Nature and my CFL to do all the work, and I also haven't set up my tent in the new location yet. I'll probably slow down the large one and wait for the other two to catch up. Usually I toss or give away such runts, but I've had a revelation a couple of months ago. I was testing 10 of my feminised seeds for germination and all of them sprouted and began growing nicely. Only one was really far far behind. I only kept that one, gave away the rest and grew her in a 1l AirPot. She was small even for an auto (Auto Durban Poison), but in the end, she was one big bud! She was glistening from trichomes, completely covered, smelling like pines and mint. Strong and refreshing. She only gave me about 20g dry weight, but the stuff is awsome! Most of her is still in the jar and curing. The moral of the story: I decided not to throw away any plant! Unless they die, of course. 14.12.2017 Day 18 They have started growing fast now. As I said, I don't have much time yet to take care of them properly, but they're doing ok. I started slowing down the big one (plain water in coco/perlite), the other two get a 1/4 dose for seedlings of a mineral fertilizer. I have to go get a couple of bags of Biobizz Lightmix. Humidity is still a pain in the a** : I need a humidifier... The big one is starting to show roots at the bottom of the pot, so all 3 go to larger pots tomorrow. I'll also bury as much stem of the largest one, as I can. Things should start going really fast right about now...

Theres nothing I love more than logging on and seeing a beautiful little seedling in my feed. She looks like such a gorgeous little baby and I can't wait for the surprises she has in store for us. I'm excited to see where this grow goes and how it turns out. I'm even more excited to see the methods of training and the nutrient regiment you have planned for her. I wish you the best of luck in this grow and I'm ecstatic to see what happens. Best wishes buddy, Cheers.

Understood - we give freebies for many reasons. Ideally if people don't need them they give them to friends to grow.

@Seedsman, All is good. I do hope the buds fatten up a bit in the "old" grow and that the third seed pops soon :) I do have a few freebies you sent me (WW, Critical Kush), that would go along nicely, but I'm usually a one-strain-at-a-time grower - less hassle with feeding.

@Seedsman, Hey guys, thanks for the attention :) In my grow tent I'm at week7 with your Early Skunk and all is good :) You can check the photos above, there are 3 plants in coco/perlite, GHF Hybrid nutes, mainlined, under a 600W HPS. The plant in the front is a bit unruly and has weaker elongated stems, that's why she's on yoyos. Otherwise they are easy to maintain, not heavy feeders. But they SMELL! I think the smell is starting to drip off the filter :) Sorry for the photo quality, but I only had my phone with me...

Great journal I'll be following. I love the re-purposed computer tower for the starter box.

@stevebrixius, Thanks man! The PC case was a spur of the moment thing. I didn't have any other options. Maybe a cardboard box... But I found out it has lots of useful nooks and crannies to tuck away and secure wires and stuff. Will see how it works out :)
