Creating new topic to solely focus on main project.
Tent was freed up of space and both harlequin ladies transplanted into 2nd pot, not main yet, will try to get proper root ball and start using a bit of sensizym for the one on the left as it already shown very good root development, hoping not to over do it. Both harlequins planted 2+ weeks ago and as you can see the one on the right was stunned from overwatering, but i noticed slow root development when transplanting so will let her to get on her feet for a week, lose wet feet and give slight dose of sensizym as well. The plan is to get pollen from male i am mainlining and pollinate one of harlequins branch (preferably healthier one) and manifold both for max yield with low expectations from stunned little one. ✌

Male planted 16/02/2021
Females planted 13/03/2021
Using: tomato nutrients with breath taking ratio of 7.29/6.31/18.79(i know, i know..)
Sensizym advanced nutrients
Flawless finish
Water ph level being controlled with few drops of vinegar

Found her like this in the morning, gave her water yesterday with a bit of sensizym. Looks like underwatering or nutrient burn? Please help!

Topped 3 times, continued doing manifold technique to steep learning curve for when i grow female. I noticed those male egg sacks open like little flowers, is that suppose to happen? Perhaps it means something in particular or is something wrong with the plant? did i overdo in any way?

Okay figured that out already, but now i cannot understand why did it open up so early? it already had good amount of pollen

that’s from not letting the pot dry out fully.
And not from overwatering the plant after transplanting? Because when i tried to save it and transplanted again it was like mud, when i say mud i mean how a good soil's mud would look, not mud you find in nature. But how come i found one egg sack opened? It had pollen already, i even put some on other two little plant as they are dying just to see if anything would happen. I am not sure what to do as i germinated another harlequin, but i won't be done with male plant before her, so i might get cross pollination..how can i avoid that, i only have one grow tent, small one as you can see..

What if i kept male plant in my room, it would get some sun light through the window, but doubt it would get even 5h of sunlight

Update: tent has 2x Chemonade 2x Harlequin. Modified grow bags a bit for more efficient growing in spaces i want. 1x Harlequin topped for manifoldig, which was stunned by overwatering before and recovered. She is 1.5 months old, but is smaller than a the other harlequin because of the overwatering so will be kept for pollination mainly. Chemonades are starting off great have a good feeling about this strain, i was able to win those on some giveaway.

Male is 2nd week into flowering doing great and is preparing pollen for some cross breeding, i wish i knew the name of the strain, it seems it's indica dominant. Tomato nutrients i used for it has smeel of turd, i was wondering if it can affect phenos this strain's pollen would transfer as male does trasfer smell/taste if i am correct?

on same giveaway i got 1x mystery autoflower and surprise, surprise it had two seedlings. Pretty neat to get to see that in person, never thought that even happens. So i would like to save both seedlings and grow as seperate plants, before one dominates the weaker one. I read that autoflowers don't like transplanting as much as photo's, so want to get expert advice one how can i possibly transplant them to seperate grow bags i modified specifically for those seedlings?

I don’t think you’re going to be able to keep both plants no way to split them without stunting them if you cut the roots in half and they live it will take them a lot of time to recover If you don’t want to buy more seeds and it’s not a auto, grow one out and take clones if you stunt them you might get nothing

When I see that, I cut the weakling.

But they're so small, just dump the cup in your hand and gently put the dirt on it's side on a table. Then gently work them out and replant in their own cup. Should be easy at that size. If you find that you have Siamese twins, replant it and cut the small one.

Theu grow seperate tap roots, so if you split them early you have a chance to grow both. Growing in one pot: dominant twin will overpower the other seedling. I managed to split them and plant in seperate pots, one is growing slower however.

And never grow both? I mean it's understandable if you grow many plants and low yelder is not worth it. That is what i did, cut a clone you from weakling you mean? Would it transfer twin phenomen? stupid question probably

Not at all.
A weakling will sap energy from the healthy one. If you want two plants, pop another seed.

I typically pop a dozen seeds and by the time they go in the ground, I only have 4 of the healthiest. Why waste my time trying to coax a nice plant out of a dud? That said, it you just like growing, go for it. It certainly hurt you.

People are always trying to max out their plants. To be honest, not many people can. But getting rid of low hanging fruit like a weakling is a step in the right direction. There are just too many variables at play to truly max them out. But I do know a couple people who can get awfully close, and the first thing they do is cull the herd.

My wife on the other hand, will let everything grow. Strong and weaklings alike. I always want to tell her to kill them, but I don't want to get my head cut off. lol.

That's what i heard, that's why i seperated them. But in general after split weakling should catch up more or less? Probs won't as it's auto? Caring hand of a woman cares for all the living, amen, what would we do without them :D As it is my first grow i want to gain as much experience as i can and seeing twin cannabis plant coming from one seed was very new and exciting that is why i kept them alive, plus extra yeld won't bother.

Sure they could catch up, but not completely. They'll always be smaller. If you can only legally grow 4-6 plants, you want to chose the healthiest.

Caring hands of a woman will save them, but it won't make them into something they're not. On that note, I have rescued a 3 inch seedling that had damped off. It was fine one day, the next it had flopped over. I normally just bin it, but this time I slowly and gently pulled it out of it's pot and the whole root came out easily. I put it in a glass of water on a window sill. Damn if it didn't come back. lol.

Amen brother, besides it's worth a try if it's for new grower's expernience. I will post update in a bit, you will see how i tried to get as much from them, maybe you can advice here and there. Your own cross or? One of the harlequins was overwatered and needed whole month to recover, all that was at seedling stage, but she is doing well now.

Update: Pollen collection was a success and it's stored in different jars for 5 pollinations. 2x harlequins are 2 months old (do your plants look that small after 2 months or is it because of trainning and overwaterg?) two smallest plants in middle are randome auto twins and they are both looking great, i do diffrent LTS on smaller one, bending fan leaves closer to main stem to expose hidden bud sites and it seems to work. Both chemonades were topped 3rd time and hopes are up they will catch up, do you think they will catch up? Ones grows faster than the other one (those are f1) so i will pollinate stronger one jsut really wish they all catch up in a month or so..

How close to flowering those auto's are you'd say? (sorry for bad quality photos, they seemed better on phone..)

And was wondering if i cut those fun leaves under but sites, would it speed up the growth? as most of thse fan leaves are in shadow.
