Indoor grow, 3 leafed seedling

Hey, i'm new here so am still learning etc but have hit an issue with my grow, i'm growing three plants at the moment (2x shark shock cbd & 1x big skunk 47 auto) in my tent and they all seem to be doing fine but I've come across something which i have never seen before on one of the plants, instead of the initial 2 leaves i have 3. I start all my seeds in root riot cubes before repotting them in coco as i find it works best for me, they are about 4 days old and are growing at a pretty good speed but the 3 leafed seedling has confused me, it is growing at the same rate as the others but is the only seedling to not get the first zigzag cannabis leaves (sorry I'm shit with all the names for things) but yet as said before has an extra seedling leaf, what does it mean? I'll attach pics. Cheers

I was gonna talk some shit, but I've decided to welcome you to RIU instead. And inform you that multiple threads about the same thing are frowned upon around here. It's all new and exciting to you, I get it, but we have a search bar in the upper right hand corner. Use it.

Well, I'll throw a tip out there.

Don't start autos in cubes, start autos in their final container which you plan on harvesting in.

With the short life cycle that autos have you don't want to risk putting any unnecessary stress on them.

*Edit

Put the cube in the soil after the first set of true leaves and the second ones come in, don't wait for a bunch of roots.

When this was posted i had used the search bar but i couldn't find anything, maybe my internet was playing up as usual or maybe I'm just being an idiot, could be both..... not really sure, but thanks

Thanks will keep that in mind ☺

I have been frequently told that if i start in a big (final size) pot/rhizo then it won't grow at all, and so used the cubes as they've always given a pretty much 100% success rate, so much conflicting information

Not sure where you heard that, only thing I've heard about starting in final containers is it can be some what harder to sprout your seeds.

I've never had an issue with it. Check out my journal under my sig, all autos besides the black bags with blue dreams. All started in their final containers as recommended with autos.

Ok nice one, different methods for different people i guess but I'm due to be buying more seeds tomorrow from my local seed bank so will try doing it your way. If i were to start in the final medium etc it would be in a 12 litre rhizo pot with coco substrate and all the nutrients etc so when do i stop keeping that under uv, start with the feed and start using my 600 hid?

You can start under the hid, not sure on how far exactly the light should be. Think it's like 2' away for seedlings (don't quote me on that, use the search bar haha).

Can't help you on the feeding either, I'm just your local outdoor fiend growing in great soils with AACT when needed.

12 liters is about 3 gallons, which is perfectly fine for autos, but if you can, bump it up to 5, there will be a noticeable difference in growth.

Thanks, will give it a go and let you know how it goes =)
