Hello everyone! I've moved my grow to a new place and this is finally going to be the run I've always wanted to do. In my previous grows I've had to remain somewhat stealthy but I have free reign on this one. What I should really do is get a 4x4 and a new light and just go nuts but I don't have the money saved up for that at the moment. I'll just be sticking to my 2x2 tent and 100w lm301b qb for now. My last run yielded 1/4lb. This run I'm going for a 1/2lb which is about 2 grams per watt. In the past I've always cut my veg and flower times short and I feel that's where I'm losing most of my yield along with nutrient burn which I plan to avoid 100% this run. Patience is going to be the top priority for me here.
So here are the sprouts:

This one's looking great. After removing the seed husk this morning it starting producing chlorophyll right away.
This one not so much:

This one looks like it's going to die. Been the same way no progress for 3 days. I'd say it didn't handle the husk removal as well.
I got two seeds germinating to replace it:

I always use the napkin. When I go directly in soil I always get a loop in my main stalk from where it had to look for which direction to go. Not a fan. It feels like flow to the plant is restricted. I've never had a seedling just stay stuck like that for days though. You could argue it's building roots or something but the first sprout is looking good like that after just 2 days in soil so I'm chalking it up to a weak pheno and I'm just gonna toss it.
If I'm going to get a half pound I need a hearty seedling out the gate. I can't rely on a weak plant. Better to lose a couple of days now than a couple of ounces later.
