IMG_20160316_210602.jpgi put seeds in dirt on 3-1-16 so they are 18 days since I put them in the dirt so they might be like 10-12 days old but it might just be me and want them to grow faster

Some growth can be due to genetics. Either way those look healthy. Keep doing what your doing. Growing from seed can be a bit excruciating at times.

I see nothing wrong here whatsoever. Other than to say keep an eye out for roots at the drainage holes.

They look fine to me. They will explode with growth any day now. Personally, I would get some better soil though. I have used the MG, but since I changed to Happy Frog, I would never go back.

Not sure but I think MG has way too high pH ....Very acidic soil !!....get them in better dirt and pH your water.....You can get some Jiffy seed starting soil from Walmart..... It's pH correct and acts as a good medium and is cheap at only $5 bucks per bag....then go to the fish section and get some water conditioner and pH correct Fizz Tabs.....Fizz Tabs will correct your tap water pH to 6.5 - 7.0 which is right in the range cannabis wants...there cheap too, like $3 a box....The water conditioner will break the chlorine bond in the water and make it safe....its cheap too, like $3 bucks a bottle

MG is an OK fertilizer if you don't have anything else but only the liquid stuff....I would recommend a very small dose of the liquid MG and a moderate size dose of "Penningtons Ultra Green Plant Starter" every other feeding....Penningtons has good stuff like Boron, Zinc, Iron and Manganese in it and won't burn your plant....then you can get some worm castings and mix in the soil too...worm castings have a little extra iron and nitrogen to help keep your plants green and healthy...BTW you can get all this at Walmart

get yourself 2 things and you can grow the absolute funk really cheap. get an 8oz bottle of Dyna-Gro foliage pro and an 8oz bottle of Dyna-Gro bloom... when you get it start giving the tiniest doses of the foliage pro. she will come to life!

you could also use the blue granules of miracle grow all purpose plant food. I dont like using it personally but giving tiny doses will make your plant take off. Only do this till you get some better nutrients.

I'm tellin ya though!!! Dyna-Gro makes some great stuff and its one of the cheapest nutrient line ups out there.. hell if you have 50 bucks on ya get Dyna-Gro foliage pro,pro-tekt,and bloom then you can do a really amazing grow!

Im very soon gonna get some better nutrients.

If I can grow the funk then anyone can!

I agree about the dynagro,but personally dont use the bloom.I prefer the 9-3-6 for veg and the 7-9-5 for flower.I think the 3-12-6 has too little nitrogen to sustain healthy leaves and overkill on P.

ok .. well... you have exactly what you need to flower a gorgeous plant. I'd do this.. get a bag of fox farm ocean forest soil. and transplant into it the second you get it. then give it only plain water for 5-6 weeks till you flip to 12/12 ... put them in fox farm ocean forest and they will take off. You'll see results vey very quickly. this plant im growing now was just stuck and wouldnt grow.. I transplanted into FFOF and it took off and never stopped. Trust me I know all about having to drive far to get FFOF... Hell I had to buy mine on amazon. they make a 12 qt bag which is 3 gallons. I paid 22$ for it including shipping
