Update: 4/18/24, Day 32. All three plants are looking good, although Blanca (the one I dropped as a seedling, and has CalMag deficiency, in back of tent) is still much smaller. I'm now feeding EC 1300 (Fox Farms Big Bloom and Grow Big, plus CalMag, pH ~6.2), thinking of going up a bit in...

4/13/24 day 2. 8AM. The stem has elongated, but the cotyledons have not opened. Sprayed it with water every few hours to keep it moist. Temp ~73-75, RH ~80-85%. By 12:15, the cotyledons have opened! ​​

Betty and Tanya (autos) are growing really fast now - and some of the early leaves are now hidden by the newer leaves, and not getting as much light. Would it be a good idea to, some time soon, remove some of the lower leaves that are in shade? Two days ago, 4/10: : Today, 4/12: ​​

4/5/24. Both seeds seemed to pop after 2 days on the wet paper towel: ​ However, the next night, I made the same stupid mistake that I've made before, letting the seeds get too hot - they had a seedling mat underneath, which was separated by 4 layers of bubble wrap as insulation, but the temp...

4/12/24 day 27. I decided to try some very mild LST on Tanya, since she is the tallest. I put one tie around her stem near the top, and another pulling the other way, a few nodes down. I gradually tightened these over 2 days - you can see the bend in her main stem here. I'll keep gradually...

Today is day 25 since sprouting (~28 from seed), and 2 of the 3 plants seem to be doing well. These are Tanya (Auto Tangerine) and Betty (Auto Bruce Banner) They both are working on their sixth node. They are in 3-gallon pots of Coco/perlite, and I'm now wondering if I should have used 5...

Today is day 22 since sprouting (~25 from seed), and 2 of the 3 plants seem to be doing well. These are Auto Tangerine and Auto Bruce Banner I'm wondering if I should try some very mild LST, just bending the tops over slightly. However, the internode distances are very small, and I don't want...

OK, I think I know what the problem is with Blanca (and Betty to some extent): calcium deficiency. The first photo is Blanca. Note the misshapen leaves, and the few brown spots (upper leaf). This is from an article about growing in Coco Coir. Note the misshapen leaf in the first picture, and...

I am currently growing 3 autos in coco coir/30% perlite, 3 gallon pots, and they are at day 18 since sprouting. The instructions I am following (https://www.growweedeasy.com/coco-coir) say to keep the pH between 5.5 and 6.5. I therefore adjust the nutrient solution (Fox Farms Big Bloom and Grow...

I am in week three of my first grow (https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum/growing-community/616700-seeds-all-germinate-but-don-t-sprout-when-planted), and thinking of starting another grow on the side. I have two auto-flowering Critical seeds from Seed Supreme - they came as part of an...

Today, Blanca (auto White Widow) looks unusual. Her first set of true leaves had been abnormal, one of them looking chewed on one side (although I see no evidence of insects). Now (day 18) she has more issues: Both of the second set of leaves look like they were chewed on a bit (red arrows)...

These autos are now at day 15 or 16 since sprouting (day 17 or 18 since germination). Does their size and leaf number look ok for this age? ​

Grow update 3/28/24. Today is day 13 since sprouting. Blanca (dropped on floor 3 days ago) is still in a Solo cup the seedling dome (75F, 64% RH), and not looking great, compared to the others. Her first two leaves are ratty-looking (with a few small brown spots), but the newer leaves look...

Today (Day 11), Blanca (the girl I dropped on the floor 2 days ago) looks a bit under the weather - her leaves are slightly darker green than the other plants (this color difference doesn't show well in the photo), and a bit bumpy-looking. But her next set of leaves are coming in nicely. Temp...

I'm currently on day 10 of my first-ever grow with three autoflower strains (I have a separate post on that grow). I'd like to start another grow, once the first one is into the final pots and in the grow tent. I have some fem, photoperiod Blue Dream seeds that Seed Supreme sent as a freebee...

Update: Today is day 10 (if I count the day the first two plants sprouted as day 1 - the third popped the next day). All three girls seem to be doing well yesterday - until I dropped Blanca on the floor while picking her up to photograph! She came out of the cup. The roots had grown down an...

Today, I noticed that one of the first two true leaves on Blanca (the auto white widow) , is misshapen - it almost looks like it has been chewed on one side, although there are no insects that I can detect. Does this look abnormal? ​​

OK, googled it and found that it is called guttation, and is not necessarily a problem. ​

Today, 4 little droplets of something appeared on the leaves of the tallest seedling, Tanya. I did not splash water on in when I watered it about 1-2 hrs ago, so I think they are secretions from the leaves. The humidity in the dome is about 65-70%. Any ideas what these are? ​

Next issue: My seedlings look "leggy", I think. Blanca, Betty and Tanya - left to right Tanya, on the right, has already had about 1/2 inch of coco added to help support her. Her stem is 1 1/2 inches tall (and it would be 2" if I hadn't added soil) I read that too little light is one...
