Seedling showing sex at 10 days?!?

[Penelope]

Greetings Farmers. I started some seeds in my Aerogarden then put them into soil (mostly ProMix with a little Roots Organics Original) as soon as their roots were an inch or so long. These kiddies have been in dirt for 11 days now. The one in question is a crazy stilt-plant at 7 1/2" with all that stuff going on up top. What the heck?? :confused: Oh, other details... they're getting water with a little bit of kelp, and 18 hours of light per day.

These two went into dirt on the same day:

Any input would be appreciated! o_O

 

[caregiverken]

wow! :confused:

It's a male...you know that, right?

Are they Autos?

 

[ssteely71]

Wow thats a vigourous growth boy you have there showing some autoflowering traits for sure.

 

[Trich king]

Def agree.with ken, male & must be an auto

 

[Penelope]

Thanks for the responses. Any advice on what to do with it? I am interested in keeping a male around for future breeding... but is this one too much of a mutant (or something) to be good breeding stock? It's so ridiculously tall that every morning I think I will find it toppled over! :eek:

I assume that an autoflowerer was not meant to flower at this tender young age, correct? I'm not sure what to make of these seeds.... I ordered a pack of 15 and was sent over 80. Kinda made me wonder! :wacky: (The seeds were not sold as autoflowering.)

That is not a plant I'd making seeds with.
Could be argued it's irresponsible.

Kill it. Now. You have 80 seeds. Germanate a couple dozen more!
What kind of light are you useing?
With seedlings, its best to keep the florescent light really close.
like 2 to 4 inches away. Really. Otherwise, they will stretch

This year I witnessed what bad soil can do to perfectly good genetics, and autoflowering is one of them. ;)

 

[cannapits]

I wouldnt use it for breeding.

Really? What was "bad" about the soil?
I had a couple seedlings auto on me this year, outside in the sun their whole life.
All 3 dozen of the other seedlings were fine in the same cheap soil though.
I also have several very healthy volunteers in rock hard dirt..that get no nutes..
None of them autoed.. shit load of females too. :)

Also curious as to what is "bad" about ProMix with a little bit of Roots Organics? Or were you just speaking in general terms and not specifically about this odd specimen?

It's a high CBD strain.... Just plain old beans. Not autoflowering, not feminized.

Thanks again for all the input. :)

high cbd and autoflower can go hand in hand fyi. kinda like cherrish flavs tend to have more cbd imo.

I never knew that..but I recently read about a fast flowering(maybe auto?)
One called the Oracle strain ..they made big claims....turned out to be hemp

@Penelope Did you get those seeds from BC seeds?

They did come from B.C., but a different company.
Re: Light... they are under T5s, which I do keep close, but had to move to get the pictures. Thanks Ken.

Thats crazy cause I keep my t-5 about 24-36" away from mine & dont stretch, t-5's are pretty powerful

you must have some damn good bulbs :)
T5's loose strength after about a foot...2 foot away that light is weak..

a T5 36inches away from a young seedling? Really?

 

[Trich king]

My buddy run's his bad boy t-5 42" away, & ya you get what you pay for. An 8 bulb t-5 w/good bulbs is about 40,000 lumens, thats damn near a 400w hid.

Second the cherry cbd thing very evident in concentrates of high cbd strains

42" away from his tops? :confused: Why?

but its not HID
