Bad seed?? Sohum grow WW

[BurningTeddy]

Alright guys, if you've been keeping up with the WW Auto Sohum Soil grow you know that I thought I had stunted her. Doing some work in the tent and i found a few odd things on the plant that are making me think that maybe it was just a bad seed.

One of her under branches has had the growth tip fall off dead.


Looking at the rest of the branches and growth tips underneath, all of them are super flimsy like their going to fall off also.


Everything else on the plant looks great. Stems are nice and thick, color is awesome, leaves are healthy.

So what do you guys think? I kind of want to pull her and start another...

I've also emailed Nirvana to see if they have any ideas, will update when they respond.

Not to diss Nervana but I have had photo seeds come in an order of Autos twice now. But I have another question BT. It's about the sand for fungus gnats. I got the playground sand and put about a half an inch on top of the pots, and then I started thinking won't this hinder the soil drying out between waterings? So I Googled it which I probably should have done beforehand, and there is info there that says yes if it's fine sand such as what I put on them, it will keep moist soil moist for longer. I think what I need to do is get the sand off of them, and get a course or kind or just use neem oil or peroxide. That's said since I put the sand down I have seen nor hide nor hair of a fungus gnat.

Have you found this to be true?

My pots dry out in 3-4 days after a gallon watering, so no I haven't really noticed a difference in that. Maybe they're talking plastic pots? The fabric ones breath from all sides so I dont see covering the top to be an issue.
