New Grower Seedling Growth Stunted

[Cannabinoid Connoisseur]

Here's an excerpt from the post to just highlight some of the growth

Day 17 - Nirvana Short Rider
This one is looking beautiful, just a small deficiency I think

Day 23 - Nirvana Short Rider stunted at germ due to fused cotyledon
The stem growth it developed to overcome its mutation is really interesting to me. The stem in the first shot toward to bottom right is taller than it is wide... pretty cool! Any idea about the deficiency?

Day 17 - Mutant Nirvana Rando

Day 28 - Unknown Bagseed
I've got high hopes for this one (pun intended) because the purp looks great on the veins and stems.
My guess is that she's just hungry. I couldn't feed her while I was gone, and she was on mild fish ferts before. Suggestions on what to crank the dosage up to so I can catch her up? It's a 5-1-1 mix. Not sure about the droopage and curvature of the leaves... She does have some healthy root growth though :wiggle: Don't plan on transplanting just yet, not wanting a big yield out of this plant, just playing around with her (same with the other plants in clay pots).

Day Unknown - Bagseed
just screwing around with this little guy to learn techniques. Still curious about the deficiencies though...

Some LST to start spreading out her future mini-bud/ball sites

Would adding a few drops of dish soap to my waterings help the soil dry out quicker? I know that it makes the water penetrate more, but does adding a detergent help it "slip" through the soil faster too?

Day 22 for this short ryder. I think I see some pre-flowers?

I believe there may be a female part showing in the lower photo ... dish soap can only be used if it's not anti-bacterial ... your SR is getting bushy ...

Yeah, I've got a good LST method going, but I've been waiting a while for an update. Just messing around with my waterings and feedings. The one SR is looking really good, but the stunted one looks like shit haha

Photo Update! Took them yesterday, but don't have time to take new ones today... Good news, the nute problems seem to be worked out, there hasn't been any new progress of deficiency symptoms!

Day 23 - Nirvana Auto Short Rider: Pre-flowers, yippee! They're showing all over the place and are coming in fast. I've been LST'ing her using stakes and pipe-cleaner hooks I bend on them. Here's a profile view of the SR:

Top view:

Pre-flowers!

Should I keep pulling her branches out now that she's preflowering? Also, should I keep her on HPS if I have some vegging photos in the same tent?

Day 29 - Stunted Nirvana Auto SR: She's just looking pitiful. Broke her lower left branch (as pictured in the side shot) while pulling it down for some LST. Super glued that up and she hasn't shown any negative results as of yet.

Side:

Day 23 - Nirvana Rando Freebie: starting to show some sativa pheno. Transplanted her into a 2 gal bucket yesterday and she loves it.

Family photo:

I raised the light up a bit further today because it was getting a bit too hot at the canopy.

Advice welcomed and appreciated :Ohmmm.......:

Edit: The plant at the bottom of the family photo is that purp indica bagseed (presumed grape ape) has also been transplanted into a 2 gal bucket. Poked a ton of holes in the bottoms of the buckets as well as some on the sides to help with aeration

It looks like the auto SR needs food, it looks like she is nitrogen deficent due to the yellowing of the leaves and the overall droppyness. I would start by making sure your PH is correct so that you aren't getting nute lock out. If the pH is correct then I would up the feeding for that plant because she looks hungry. Hope this helps, sending good grow karma your way my friend

Thanks! Are you talking about the little SR, or both?

Also just a little tip, the purple that you are seeing in the stems and the veins is due to a lack of Phosphrus, it doesn't have anything to do with getting purple buds at harvest time. So if you are seeing purple stems and veins you need to up the Phosphorus in your nute soulition and they will go back to green. While growing you always want everything to be green, any other colors are a sign that something isn't right. That is until the very end of flowering when the leaves start to yellow and turn colors. If you do have a "purple" strain then the calyaxs will be what turns purple and gives the actual nugs there purplish blue hues.

The one that you broke the lower left branch off of.
