Update- the seedlings are fine but they won't throw nodes, branches, anything. Everything planted after them has already tripled in size. They drink and stretch but not much else. I had hoped to have them flipped a week ago but there's nothing to suggest they're ready.

Sorry if you already mentioned it but what is the medium? How often do you watering?

It's botanicare(?) coco which I've never used before. Some seeds and clones of mine are loving it but my bagseed entries must be too old/improperly stored. Also didn't want to flip them in case by some miracle one turned out to be a real keeper, and get clones. Doesn't seem to be the case anymore haha. When they popped they didn't drink much but I'm now hitting them regularly and they're drinking it all- but no output up top. It's a magic act of some sort...

Have you tried to watering more often? It seems like they grow pretty normal in those cups filled with coco, as long as you watering them often enough(like 3-6 times a day).

Eh they're not quite to that point yet. It's every other day right now. This is also a new micro grow and i haven't replaced my cycle timers yet. Just ordered them on Amazon this weekend. Multi feed days will happen soon, plus better pics.

These girls are looking like pistil formation is going to start kicking in this week or next. The male plant I have in there is dropping pollen and you can see one of the flowers on the leaf of the kush on the right.

I'm officially out of the yogurt cup challenge. My idea to keep the plants from tipping over had the side effect of keeping the cup off of the capillary mat. That's OK, they were outgrowing my cabinet anyway.

I'm out too, lol. I took my wicking ropes out for a day and forgot for another day. Not dead, but super horrible looking. I have pics, I'll put up soon.

It looks like not enough water, but the coco is wet. Is really possible to overwatering a plant like this, in such a small container?

This was a bit more complicated than I thought :D

looks to me like a pathogenic fungus or something like fusarium wilt perhaps
sometimes this happens with very wet soil

break the stem and look for brown spots or mushy spots on the stem around where it meets the media

also; inoculations of trichoderma, glomus, and em1/lacto keep the pathogens at bay ime

till now you were def in the lead....
better luck next time, gramse, reikox, AND doubletripleOG

the feild narrows, some front runners out of the race....WHO will finish and WHO will win?

this is so much fun to me :D

Yeah you are probably right. The stem felt soft. I will take a closer look later.
Thanks and good luck to you guys who still in the contest!
