Day 7 of cs, does this look OK?

Hey, thanks for sharing this test out with us. I am finding it quite informative.
Will you let the plant grow out and seed itself ? Or just collect the pollen and chop ?

I started another plant about the same time I started spraying cs, so about 3 weeks apart hoping I could just put them together and let nature take its course but I ended up having some germination issues, so I have a plant that is about 4 weeks behind. I'm hoping the timing lines up as I didn't want to rely solely upon that plant self pollinating itself. If that happens I'll be stoked but if something happens to this 1 week old plant as well, I'll probably try to collect the pollen to administer when I have one entering flower. I have stopped spraying as advised and it seems to be developing sacks even faster and the general health of the plant looks better as well. I'll get some pics up tonight. Thanks for the response!

Thanks for the tip! Yeah, that cs really did a number on the leaves. I started focusing just on the bud sites during week 2 of spray and had much better results. Next time I'll start from the beginning.

I'm hoping the timing works out and I can just pop one of these ladies in the tent when they enter flowering. I'm having really inconsistent results with jiffy pellets so I'm thinking I'm just going to start planting directly in the soil considering I'm only using half gallon pots.

A week after stopping cs the pollen sacks still seem to be developing at a fast rate.

All 4 of these seedlings eventually stalled out. After breaking open the rooter, it appears each of the tap roots encountered an area in the plug that stopped growth. I have one I'm growing directly in the soil and even after 2 days, it's clear that the Jiffy Pellets were the problem. I'm just not sure if I got a bad batch or if it was user error.

I think some people cut the net at the bottom of the jiffy to help the tap root out mate maybe try that next time [emoji106]

There might be something to that as the only ones I've successfully used are the large size. I think it may have something to do with the extra time the roots have to develop before they reach the netting. I think I'm just going to go directly in the soil from now on, but out of curiosity I'm going to grow a few with the net cut off. Thanks!

Dunno what will happen if ya cut the sides off think just the bottom.. I just cut the bottom off a small pot and put inside another pot the same size then when it's time to repot I simply remove bottom pot n plant the the bottomless pot into the new one.. Hope this makes sense..

Jiffy pellets.... go straight to the medium. Had issues as well, autos seem to have more of an issue getting thru the pellets than photos I've run.
That and temps. Cool temps will stall the little ones.
