Struggling seedling, will she make it?

Sprouted on Day 8. No paper towel germination, no container transplanting.

It's a Sativa dominant hybrid (DNA Genetics), in a tent with 2 other Indica heavy strains. The 2 Indica plants are doing very well, both sprouting on Days 4-5 and growing healthy.

To be honest, I'm not too concerned about letting this one go, the 2 plants I have in the tent with it will be a handful anyway (more of an Indica guy anyhow) but I'd like to know if I could save this gal.

Temps are good @ ~78, RH stuck at 40, occasional misting w. filtered water.

My one I had started out growing super slow to but turned out OK was a auto so she was small but still she'll pick up just may take a bit longer

Progress seems really stagnant though, next to the other 2 planted at the same time it's growing remarkably slower. Was yours as slow from seed like mine? Day 13 I don't yet see the next set of leaves surging through

Good Sativas are the best smoko. Save it at all costs!

Yeah to be honest by the time I harvested my one the littler one was just getting her first set of leafs with four fingers i think the problem was the roots weren't growing for some reason

These are what they looked like when first sprouted and she stayed around that size for a week or two I thought she was gonna die to(the blue one is the weaker one)

It looks fucked. Plants need leaves to grow ,i aint seeing no leaves. Start again with a more reliable batch of seeds.

Thanks for the input, it's 16 days since planting now and it still looks the same. I'll be terminating it later, or placing it outside in a pot to thrive for itself.

How many times have you watered that thing?

It's in a 3 gal pot. Soaked the soil on Day 0, planted on Day 1, watered/misted a bit on Day 8. Maybe watered a little bit on Day 13 to loosen up surrounding soil. I've done just about everything to regulate that a.f.a.i.k.

Seems like a real outlier, all I can think of is it was either a runt/dud or I planted seed a bit too deep. Either way it's kind of mixed blessing, 2 plants are a handful and I'd have a hard time getting rid of it if it actually grew.

Verdict: Looks like the seed wasn't able to right itself up and had to grow roots from the side. Still keeping it alive but she's almost certainly a goner.

Put some dirt around it to keep it straight

Already done, it's chilling in a smaller container now. Still alive since last posting, looks about the same.

I'd say you over-potted, but then again I did the same thing with mine and it struggled for about 2 weeks before hitting its stride. I wanted to call it quits with it a few times but I kept nurturing it and it blew up. They will grow 9/10 times, sometimes they're just stubborn for whatever reason.

Update: Don't think she's ready to give up yet, since re-potting her I see leaf potential.

If she makes it, which is looking now more likely, I'll post updated pic.

21 days since planting seed and counting.

I should stop veg and switch to 12/12

Skittles McP · May 9, 2016

I would say no, what's your light schedule?

indican3 · May 9, 2016

Only kidding, because of how much vegging it has done

Struggling seedling, will she make it?

Will she make it?

Yes - Keep it alive in case

No - Terminate it

No - Keep it alive, just because
