Still in the middle of the week, the seeds were planted on the 22nd and popped up on the 23rd today they are about 3 centimeters up. The only issue is the curled cotyledons, hopefully I'm not overwatering. Only 3 of 4 germinated, so another seed was planted on the night of the 24th. Also, stupidly I dropped the second fat banana that wouldn't germinate into the same pot as the fat banana that had already sprouted to avoid throwing away a seed, and planted another green gelato in the 4th pot. The fat banana didn't sprout until today, that is 6 days since planting. So now I have 5 plants up, with 3 green gelato in individual pots and 2 fat banana in 1. Bad move but we'll see what happens. I'd appreciate pointers. Last day, plants are growing at pretty different rates making me anxious, but everything is within parameters

I planted 2 seeds in 1 pot, expecting the 2nd not to sprout, but it did. What should I do?

I know it's not the best idea to repot autos, but would it still be possible to repot 1 of my autos? I planted 2 in 1 pot cuz I thought the other one was just not going to germinate. I was thinking to just do LST in the same pot, but in reality the root systems will likely clash.

Hi buddy with cars, many make the silencer right away :-) of course you can repot if you are a little puzzled but I don't see any problems with your pots with LST :-) especially with cars you don't end up with asoo many roots as with photoperiod with a really long vegi phase

Hi what is your watering behavior? there is a very simple trick when you give water. Let it dry nicely, then lift the pot up and remember how easy it is. Then pour it and lift the pot back up and notice how heavy it is now. The next time you water, you will only do it again if the pot is as light as when you started. As a pure beginner, you can also use a scale and note the weight ፦). Keep carrying as before 👍 Your plant is beautiful

Pretty noob question, but do you count your plants age by when you stuck the seed in the soil or when it sprouted? I realized I have no real idea when these germinated since I just dropped em in soil and watered. They sprouted on the 25th, were planted on the 22nd. So how old?

First day of week 2 since dropping the seeds in soil. Everything is growing pretty well. I've added a Co2 bag as well as a clip fan this week. I guess I've been counting wrong cuz I've counted from when i pushed the ungerminated seed into the soil. I'll be keeping track of age by sprout from here on out. That said I hope I didn't start nutrients too early, I've only been using half to a fourth of the amount recommended though so should be fine

When mine were this size I would do about 2-3 shot glass fulls every night right at the stem to force the taproot to grow down instead of out. Then I lightly misted the other soil as to keep it from all getting to dry under my lights. Looks like you got a humidifier so that's all they should really need man! Happy growing!

I'm going to start LST today, will update. The 3 first to sprout are growing well, 7 finger leaves came in on the Green Gelato already. The Green Gelato that's on day 12 seems a bit behind, but it's still coming in alright. Will keep updating throughout the week. Just did LST and I'm not sure I did it right, but I'm pretty sure it didn't hurt anything.

Hi there! Now they have reached their sexual maturity and with autos I'd say that yes this is the pre-flowering stage and they start to produce flowers! They will still grow for 2-3 weeks until the stretch is over so keep giving her veg nutes for maybe two more weeks before switching to bloom

Both Green Gelato plants are growing very well, no issues, although slower than the single Fat Banana. The Fat Banana has been growing well although I see some burnt tips on the newest growth of fan leaves. Preflowers started to show at the beginning of last week and are continuing to grow pistils. The double pot is growing very slowly and the smaller plant appears to be dying. A stupid move on my part.

stick to your normal irrigation schedule.. simply give water-only.. do pH it to keep your current consistency for sake of adjusting nutes if needed. don't flood it.. don't do anything crazy that'll only disturb the rootzone.. simply water to 10-20% runoff and wait for top 1" to dry. letting things dry out more only increases concentration through increased evaporation. this would have the opposite effect. You could water early, but long periods of damp soil are bad... just wait for regular watering based on weight of pot or top 1" being dry. all you want to accomplish is a slight dilution of what is in the soil. It's tougher to see in pictures, but if the lower leaves are extra dark and glosssy, you are probably right. if you alternate fertilziation and watering, maybe do 2-3 water-only, but not for long.. go back to your regular scheduel... if you think it's too much, slowly adjust your regular schedule ... try 1/3rd of irrigations with ferts, or dilute it 10% more etc etc.. lots of ways to do this.

I would try dialing back before anything else... ensure pH is good etc.. See if it is an abundance -- have an EC meter? That could hasten the process. Check out some nute calculators -- have one linked in profile and a better one online i found online just today. if you know what you are feeding, you can easily eliminate possiblilities. More times than not it is lockout due to pH or concentrations in the medium.

Light leak, environmental stresses, and so many things could stress a plant into hermie. Sometimes though u can just chalk it up to poor genetics.

Th smell is sweet and sharp, the smaller plant is growing quickly while the larger one is kind of lagging behind. The smaller one should probably start to get flushed soon.

Hey mate its not the easiest thing to make a remote diagnosis but I have 2 things in mind. This could be just some light stress, if your plant was too sensitive for the 24 hrs light. My second guess is that your ladies started building mold from the inside. This is typically happening if you don't have a proper ventilation/air flow in your tent. If the smell of the lighter parts is completely different and unlike the rest of the "healthy" buds, you should probably not smoke them! Mold is no joke.

This was a very resistant plant to all my mistakes. I burned the crap out of it and had very high temperatures at times but it came out fantastic. Smoke is good, could have been left longer for more amber although it obvioisly still needs to cure.
