It does look a bit small but just keep growing it, it seems to have been stunted by something but I can see the set i'm sure they will be okay, at least its not, not growing, the other is looking really good how many do you have as of now, the reason I ask is because depending on how long you plan on vegging, or grow style, you may be able to sacrifice that runted one being that you have a cab like mine, 4 weeks veg=3 plants, 6-8 weeks veg=2 plants, and anymore you can do one huge bush in there, so just take your pick.

I would really like to keep them all just because it's bagseed and I don't know that they are going to be females. I'm hoping it corrects itself either by spreading out or just continues progressing per usual and next set are normal. If more come in and they look like that I'm going to toss her out and Move the plants around a bit. so they all can get some more light. I hope it fixes itself. It makes me sad. I'm gonna have a funeral if she has to go.... I'm thinkin CCR I want them to have that southern rock thing going on!

Good shit man! Glad to see I have someone to race with! How did you germ them? I'm thinkin putting them strait in the soil is the best for me! My 2 strongest plants are the ones I put strait in... the one I'm having the issues with is the one I germed in the cup of water then the paper towel then the dirt. Really slow to grow and really weak all together... Yea. I read that FFOF is a bit hot and the dude @ the shop said that I should mix it with Happy frog and thats done really well for me! I'm hopin the weak ass can jump back up with the others but I don't expect it! She was frustrating me tonight I considered chopping her down to make room in my closet...

i germed all mine in a damp paper towel. then once tap root was about half an inch i planted straight in the soil. all of them popped out. i should have three more....but my cfls fell one day and crushed three of my babies :( ugh! im left with 9 im hoping 5 turn out female. they are mostly serious seeds white russian. theres also a blue widow in there, nirvana PPP and some free auto flowering one that attitude gave me. Nirvana PPP is still so tiny...she better catch up cuz the PPP, blue widow, and Auto are all feminized ;)

So I'm gonna chop my 2 weakest down... I need the room and I don't have enough lights and don't want more ATM. Stop me if this is a terrible idea. I have one that is way behind the others and its leaves are growing crooked as hell and then I have the one that won't grow full leaves just little wrinkled leaves...

not a bad idea, because if they are not doing good, and not going to do good you dont want to put all that time and care into something thats not going to work out.

Did it. I'm happy with it. I was sad for a bit to see them go but I would rather have 4 strong than six weak...

Edit: My soil is staying moist forever... I'm only gonna have to water like once a week...

Your soil will do that when they are not drinking that much in big pots, they will be greedy later on, to help the soil from going stagnant and holding water, is to limit how much water you put in for there size, I would say just put a cup or 2 on the soil around the stem wait a couple days repeat, but once you get through your first grow you will become more familiar with looking at the leaves and being able to tell if the need watering before they go thirsty.

taking a couple out is the hardest part, when i transplanted i put the 3 main ones in big pots and i put the 1 extra and 2 seedling at the bottom of my box
might just leave them there until I switch over to flowering.

3 gal. is what I use and you should be good with that because "they say" you need a gallon per foot you grow, but with the way to grow, I might suggest this link ( https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/438784-lbhs-4-way-lst-tutorial.html ) which is what im doing for my next grow. I hope you have better luck than me because out of like 6 plants I got 1 Female, on my first grow and that was enough for me to start ordering femmed seeds from here on out.

Did you top your like this fella? Man topping makes me nervous! O well It seems pretty good! You going to scrog? I don't think I'm going to... but that looks really good. I think the main idea I get from this is when a main stem gets long enough just pin that hoe down!

Edit: Tips would be great! I want to turn the best crop I can. I'm gonna take some pictures later I'll post em up tonight!

No I didnt top, i'm not against topping, but I dont do it after my first try I personally didnt like the results, and no to scrog I was but I have other plans, Yeah pinning it down have no recovery time, Im all about giving the plant as little stress as possible, and a tip with CFL's for best results LST+Scrog.
