Started 5 seeds on different days with cup germination method, most cracked 1 didn't, 1 grew a tail others didn't. Planted some into 5gal fabric pots and some into 3 gal plastic pots with a store bought mixture of the only organic soil I could find near me (has nutrients added but only worm castings, alfalfa meal, seaweed something or other and blood meal. Hopefully won't burn them since they're autoflowers but again, only thing I could find that wasn't just blasted with miracle gro nutrients) mixed with pre-wet perlite and vermiculite.
1 ILGM GG sprouted and 1 didn't (most likely due to low night temperature). 3 plants sprouted and seem to be growing healthy despite almost constant cloud cover, high humidity and lower temperatures this week.
Torrential rain until today, with night temperatures dipping into the low 50's, have been bringing them inside during the night and taking them out in the morning and misting with rain water or PH-adjusted tap that has sat out for atleast 24 hours when soil is visibly dry and pot is feeling lighter. Today was the first day I let them get acquainted with full sun for about an hour, going to gradually increase it over this week until they are able to handle full sun and be completely outdoor plants. I have neem oil ready to go should bugs become a problem and on the extremely unlikely chance they have some deficiency I have bloom just in case, but only using it worst-case-my-plants-are-gonna-die-if-I-dont-scenario.
Noticing growth every time I check on them, sadly I think they've been growing a bit slower because I was freaked out about overwatering and may have been giving them less than they needed. Biggest 2 can handle full sun now, the sour kush exploded in growth even though it's the same age as the gorilla glue. So far I've had 3/6 GG seeds grow and they're looking kinda short and funny not gonna lie. Skunk has 2 holes in it because a bug was eating it when I came out to water. Justice was served.
Are my plants growing slower than usual? I have started giving them more water and getting them more used to sun. They are about 2 and 1/2 weeks old.

They may be growing a little slower than usual and it may be because, and a trade off of, planting directly into a larger final container - if that's what you did.
My first grow, I grew in a 2 gallon fabric pot; the 2nd, I'm growing in the same setup and same strain but in a 3 gallon I planted directly into after germinating in a paper towel. The second grow did lag the first and I think its because it spent more time laying roots. Its now into day 30 and its definitely going to be bigger than my first plant, despite the slow start, now that its in the pre-flower stretch its exploding in growth.
So I think you're fine unless you see some other issue come up.
Everything growing pretty well now, it's been pretty hot but bigger plants are doing just fine being left in full sun the whole day. Watering when needed and getting the smaller ones more used to sun as they grow. Lost one GG sprout and replaced it. May start some photoperiod gold leaf soon, not sure yet.
Growing pretty great, the sour kush is really catching up to the others. Sadly checked on the pineapple express sprouts the next day and they were mostly eaten by caterpillars and didn't survive. I just wan't to make sure that even worst-case scenario I still get something for the harvest, so will probably keep planting until I feel like a tornado could hit and I'd still have something left lol. Gorilla glue #1 still has weird rounded leaves but is starting to look better. Sadly have had more trouble trying to grow the gorilla glue than anything else. 5/10 seeds germinated and of the 5, 3 have survived so far.
Growth really exploding now, and some buds forming on the pineapple express. Not adding any nutrients yet unless I start seeing some deficiency. lowest leaves have been turning yellow then brown but I have been told this is normal. Main things I'm noticing are a few leaf miners. Have been treating with neem oil every 5-7 days to hopefully help prevent any other bug problems.
Some leaves have a little brown on the tips, and some lowest leaves are turning yellow then brown, although I have been looking it up and it seems to be normal? It's not nutrient burn as I haven't given any. Any clues on what it could be or if I should be concerned?
Привет, друг!
Листья желтеют и опадают снизу растения - это нормальное явление, если ты уже в стадии цветения и твоя девочка уже взрослая! Не переживай! 👆
Края листвы как будто сохнут - это может быть следствием высокой температуры или сильной освещенности (когда безоблачная погода и растения стоят под ярким палящим Солнцем). 👆
Не переживай, бро! Твоя девочка хорошо выглядит для outdoor и начала цветения! 👌
Продолжайте наблюдать и делиться своими успехами, брат! Для сообщества это очень важно! 👆
Удачи, друг! ✊😇
Pineapple express filling out nicely, but being dwarfed by the skunk and sour kush, have had less bug problems recently probably due to the heatwave we're having this week. Gorilla glue is also steadily growing, but may end up being shorter plants.
Buds growing pretty quickly now on the sour kush and skunk, but the pineapple seems to be pretty small and under a jewelers loupe looks like a few trichomes are turning amber already. Hopefully with a couple more weeks it will pack on some more size, I may harvest the top earlier than the rest to give the other bud sites more light, but I'll monitor the situation. Gorilla glues were weird from the start and they're starting to grow buds now although they're much much shorter than I feel they should be at this stage. Maybe they'll explode shortly although I don't have too much hope. Have started some new gorilla glues in different containers to see if I can get some bigger plants.
It's a sad week for me, made a mistake I promised myself I wouldn't. I have a 60x loupe trying to look at trichomes and it's really hard to tell honestly. Saw a lot of amber trichomes but I must have been looking at leaves. Harvested the top of the pineapple express and it's not potent at all. Bought a digital magnifier and took some trichome pictures, still have me confused. quite a few of them are amber/dark brown and then some of them still clear... Oh well, will just wait a long time on the others just to make sure I don't make the same mistake. Hopefully won't stress the plant out too much.
