Seedling wont form a good root

ok! poor gimpy is gone forever. But, the other seedling is doing well! I tried to stretch it, got about another 3/4" of stem out of it, do you think this is enough? My plan is to "bonzai" this plant (if in fact its a female). Also, is this little guy ready for a bigger container? How big is big enough?

I've got two more afghani seeds, do you think i should wait until I see how this one goes for a while before germinating the last two?
Also, if you clone a plant, is it automatically the same sex as the original?

What do you all think?

Thanks as always!

fyi - i have been reading most of the suggested threads/links, so keep them coming. i will still ask the questions tho, because i want to hear "real life" answers ;)

so you think that gimpy looks okay? why is it so much smaller than the other? both seeds were from the same plant - a hermie afghani bud. i planted them in clear cups so i could watch roots, but put the opaque cups around to keep light off roots.

not sure what else to do -

what makes you think hermies?
the seeds came from a hermie..... do hermies produce hermies, all the time?



the batch i got the seeds from was some sweet sweet sticky bud, with just one little bud packed with seeds.... so do hermies in general create quality seeds in addition to good bud?

if u take a clone from a female..ur clone will be female.. but stress can turn your clone hermie, and yes taking a clone from a hermie plant will produce another hermie

nice.. lookin great.. my general rule of thumb for first transplant from cup, is to wait till the plant is as tall as the cups you have, roughly 6 inches... then transplant them into about 10-12" pots

ive cut some of the bigger leaves off of that lone rogue plant i have. should i wait until i chop her down before doing more? (dont have photo of my hack job, but most of the leaves larger than 2" diam. are cut off) the white hairs are about 20% brown, and the tips turning curly and pretty and fuzzy......
hmmmmm

are you feeding it anything yet? if not, it may be time to start. if so, it is probably a N deficiency (this seems to be the most common reason leaves turn yellow) you could piss on it :P

now, to address the chopping off of all your plants leaves. DONT DO THAT! plants have leaves for a reason and you arent doing it any favors by chopping them off. There are only 2 reasons you should remove a leaf 1. it is dead 2. it is directly blocking a bud from receiving light and there is no way to remedy said blockage without removing the leaf.

happy growing, CHICKS THAT GROW HERB ROCK!

when are you planning to transplant... your plant might about to die....it happened to me before and a good indication is a golden brown stalk...but since i can't see your stalk i can't tell you.... but it works its way up from the roots, to the stalk, to the bottom leaves.. till eventually it takes over the whole plant and kill it.... your plant looks kinda big for its container, so thats why i think its a good time to transplant

hey all! I transplanted my little afghani, can you tell me if this looks right? any precautions i need to take to get the plant settled in comfortably?

The stalk is nice green, only the bottom leaves are yellowing - when i did the transplant the roots were abundant at the bottom of the former container, nice and white.

what do you all think?

I see you are very set on eating that bud. you will be much more satisfied with your snack if you let that thing go until most of its hairs are brown. has the yellowing of those leaves spread any further/to other leaves?

I wouldnt worry about the yellow if it doesnt continue to advance up the plant. congrats on reaping the fruits of your labor as well :P
