First grow strain suggestions.

That one on the back left I seeded probably 3 weeks after the others. You can see how small it was in the previous picture. Not only did it pop up fast its growing far faster than the others. Bad/ Good sign? Running light at level 5 24/7. Interior fan on for 8 off for an hour.

3 dont seem to be taking. 2 just poping now up now after weeks. What type of time frame am I looking at for sexting?

Hey, looking good.

As far as the seedling starting slow then taking off…Experience has shown me some plants prefer to build root space before pushing new growth primarily, the late vigor may be that. As far as sexing…6-9th node for me…5 weeks roughly

I've had plants show as early as 3 weeks and as long as 9 weeks lol there's a trick to getting them to show early if you absolutely need to know asap I think it was the rev that said you start your seeds at 12/12 for the first 10 days of life above ground, then switch to 18/6 and you'll have them show by day 30. This practice is especially useful when hunting very long flowering landraces. I do solo cups till they sex, most of the time it takes about 6 or 8 weeks at 18/6 in my grow

Are you able to set your lights on 18 hours? As far as identifying sex, there's a few companies that you can send a small leaf smoke in to get tested. I've had great experience with leaf works. It's $10-15 per sample and takes about 10 days to get results. I just snip off one of those first little round baby leaves after they establish their first set of true leaves.

Yeah - I can set all sorts of timers and ratios in the software.

cool, I'd set it to 18 hours of light for veg. It looks like you had 100% germination when you were soaking them so I'd maybe give em a few more days to sprout out of the soil. If they don't, I gently try to dig in there and see what's up. It's possible that maybe they were set to deep or when they were watered they sank a little bit.

Yeah, when they didn't come up very quick I thought I probalby put them in too deep.

All part of the learning process. I've done it plenty of times myself. I would be careful to not overwater them at this stage too. I've lost plenty of seedlings from overwatering. Get used to how heavy the container feels when watered so that you can judge when they need more. Gotta train those little roots to grow and search for water. What kind of soil and nutes are you using?

I used an 5g tank I had laying around. Put the bags in and gave it water until it wicked up havent' watered since. I use the water from my aquariums after I do a water change and I drop the ph so it's in range. When I was looking for organic the stores had nothing as out of season. I found that promix marked down only bag and broke open. Worm casting and some 4-4-4- starter.

Shoot sounds like you're good to go! You're a lot better off than I was when I first started growing!

Just be sure they're over 18, get a good lawyer you shouldn't have to do time. 😜

The only productive thing I have to add is check your soil temps. Under 60F will slow germination over 80 not so good either. A heat mat can be incredibly helpful and deadly at the same time.

3d printer is handy. Originally was going to print a water spike but then glanced over at my brine shrimp hatchery rig and had an idea.
I'll put it maybe an inch off the bottom. Could do tiers or sit one on top as well. I can attach in the tent or hang it outside the tent and run the hose through.
