Hi again fellow kiwis, I've got my first plant growing at the moment. Its been 6 days since the seed sprouted from the soil. Growing it under 4 23w CFLs at the moment but been bringing it out into the afternoon sun for the last couple of days. She (hopefully a she, was from a feminized seed) is a Seedsman White Widow.
I think it stretched a bit at first because for the first 3 days I only had 2 23w CFLs but seems to be doing better now. Should I just bury the stem a bit?
The first two leaves also look a bit mutant, however I think that is because I had my lights too close. What do others think?

If you can get to the WHS and acquire 12 litre or 18 litre enviro pot, is best or Pb 28 horc plastic bags at garden centers, good value I've been using for years with no root compaction, your current pot is to shallow for correct root growth.
I noticed immediately on your first photo, that you have fucked leaves, the distortion is not your fault, but the shitty attempts of the breeder using way to much Gibberellic Acid
so much that it's screwed right down into the genome.
Consider painting common kiwi pollen on a bud, come harvest day, may clear up on the next generation ??
(Gibberellic Acid --A hormone used to promote plant growth, especially that of seedlings, and obtained from the fungus Gibberella fujikoroi (GA) is used to reduce flowering and fruiting which maximizes growth and minimizes pollen transmitted. GA is also used in mature plants to increase the fruiting capacity by stimulating the development of lateral shoots and spurs.)
I intend to make a exceptional post on the affects of too much GA in a future post

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll keep an eye out for your post as it sounds interesting. I saved some seeds from some alright bud that I got a couple of weeks ago and I'm going to be using those for my next grow. Here is what my plant (well, plants now) is looking like. If the Kandy Kush turns out to be a male I'll probably save some pollen from it to make some more seeds.

Both my plants turned out to be female 
Younger one only just started showing some pistils today. Here are some pictures of the girls if anyone is interested haha.

Oh, and the ages are: White Widow (Day 15F (51T)) & Kandy Kush (Day 1F (27T)). Was meant to put that as a sort of title above the images, is there any way to edit posts on this forum?
Looking good rawt

The attitude man. got 48 seeds through, they gave me a shitload of freebies too.
Recently grew out dinafems blue hash and delicious seeds cotton candy.
blue hash has a wicked smell and taste. Not your usual ganja smell. must have got the blueberry pheno

Also i strongly suggest ace seeds. Probably the only seed company with pure genetics that isn't balony ha

For those of you that haven't read this yet i suggest you do. New Zealand is making its way in the hemp industry and it is about time!

Quick and easy 150 site bubble cloner using local materials
Quick and easy 150 site bubble cloner using local materials
Put this together as an experiment and it turned out alright. Does the job and is cheap to build. You can never have enough clones IMO.
Drill the holes. You may want to measure them out first I winged it.
Add the draft stop lined up with the underside of the lid.
Cut the neoprene mat up to make your pucks.
My pucks were about 2x3cm -
Throw in the airstones and some tap water and your'e good to go.

- 20L Fish Bin with Lid - Bunnings Warehouse has the best selection.
- Water resistant Draft Stop Tape
- 2cm Spade Drill Bit
- Neoprene Camping Mat - The Warehouse / Camping Supply store.
- 2 pack of airstones with tubing - cheap from sog
- 160 L/hr Air Pump - Sog/Pet stores
