When would you toss her?

Planted 1 ea. of Blue Dream and Golden Goat mid March - 3/15.

Golden Goat doing better than Blue Dream but still slow/small for being > than 1 month.

Blue dream is the tiny one going on 1.5 months. So sad never had such slow growth like this before. At what point would you just say F it and toss her?

For reference MK Ultra (the big girl) sprouted LESS THAN two weeks ago and she's already doubled/ tripled GG and BD's size.

Main diff I started BD and GG in some old miracle grow seed starter that seemed to be somewhat hydrophobic when trying to moisten for post germination and MK Ultra was planted in a fresh bag of FFOF and she loves it.

I transplanted the small ones into some bigger pots with fresh FFOF about a week ago but they don't seem to be responding much yet.

Wondering if I'm just wasting space and time with the tiny blue dream or should I let her go on and just be small bc any bud is better than no bud??

Any help/advice is much appreciated! bongsmilie :peace: :hump:

Hey,

Yeah man when this happens you've got to look objectively at it and realize you have stunted them. This kind of mind vortex is hard to escape sometimes as you tell yourself you are being patient etc and it will catch up. But then this happens... you start another seed, lie your MK ULTRA and it blows right past the ones you've been lazerbeaming daily, hoping they will turn on for some reason. Then eventually you accept that in fact they have been stunted. To me this looks like they had some kind root access problem, either from the soil being too wet or maybe your mix being too hot, maybe the miracle grow. I have had this sort of thing happen when I used too many of my homemade worm castings and totally fried/stunted them early. It took me a while to accept it as well so I know the mind state, you are unsure what's going on. But from an outsiders point of view, yes they are a lost cause.

To bring them back would take you much longer than just popping more seeds. I stunted 10 seeds by using too high a ratio of worm compost too soon, then I eventually ditched 7 but held on to 3 I thought i could revive. Eventually the 3 survived and were flowered, they took a long time, and if I didn't just need to know what that pack really had in it I would say it is questionably worth it. Learn the lesson here and really hone in on the early seedling stage.

Cannabis is a crazy weed and will grow vigorously, so if it really isn't (Week three and not obviously doing well). Move on and pop some more seeds. Make your own seeds as soon as you can. Once you have tons of seeds you will realize you can just spend your time searching instead of hovering over slow development.

Hey thanks for the reply. Yea, it's all very frustrating.

I've used the seed starter in the past with zero issues but it's a good 2 years at this point since I've used that particular soil and I guess it's gone bad.

I appreciate the sound advice! I may just keep them in there for the hell of it and flip them with MK when it's time and see what they do. At this point MK may too far along for new seeds to catch up so worst case scenario I'll have one big plant at harvest which is half of what I do anyway for my personal only stash lol.

Thx again for the reply totally agree with everything you mentioned.
