Probably because its the most sativa of the bunch. What were ur germing temps like?

no idea on temps, heh.... stoner growing. all i know is the bags all had humidity in them. first to pop were lemon stinky, followed by speed queen, followed by godberry. first to pop out of soil so far were 2 lemon stinky. all cups have the ziplock bag over them and i see condensation on the inside.

Woke up seeing the littles ones perking up. Fun to see them alraedy on the first day of light. Bet its gonna be really nice to look out in more time.

The 2 i put underlight are perking up.





1 More lemon stinky will be under light today. The others show no signs of broken ground.

Marley please take the time to read a basic guide it will help you alot. Do not feed anything to the plants yet. You will kill them. :) And im sure you wouldnt want that. :dueling: Take it easy bro.

what does a red stem mean?

im noticing the ones that been under the longest have a redder stem. the ones that are getting put under are more of a greenish.

is that good? just curious as to what it is.

4 pictures before camera batteries died. A few of the new ones are yellowing, and not expanding their leaves like the others. I haven't changed anything. I moved them into the middle of the rows, maybe it was too much CFL?

Gave em another shot of water this morning. Seemed to need it, cup felt lighter. Let the water just come out the bottom and that was it.

Red steam is normal. You have to be careful of a brown look with some decay around the bottom of the stem. Looks good so far.
 
Do you have peritlie in the soil? I notice that the soil always looks wet, those dixie cups hold alot of moisture, I would be very careful not to over water. i am in the beginning of a Sugar Shack grow and i gave my little plants to much water to start out. Wasnt pretty, there just starting to come back.

i didn't add any perlite. i went to lowes and home depot they only had miracle grow perlite which members said wasn't good.

i dunno ihaven't give em much water they are looking better and better each hour, so i think im doing it right./ only about a shot worth when they feel lighter then what they should,
 
I would try to find some perlite or something like it maybe some local hydro shops? When you transplant you will see the diffrence of how fast it grows when the soil is more airy Good luck bro watching with enthuiasm!
