Your plants look wikid for your first grow.
My first 2 plants ever fell over n died, my next three died aswel, I killed em by accident lol
3rd time I got to the finish line. Practice makes perfect!
You don't need to buy loads of stuff to start with, in the past I've grown bigger plants than your babies with no fans, no ph'd water, no humidifier, no tent, just 160w of cfl and miracle gro pour n feed.
I'm not recommending you do that but I'm just saying it ain't all about having the best equipment

Thanks a lot for your reply!
And you’re totally right: I guess I mistakenly translated ‘watering’ with ‘giving love’ :)

For the next time I already bought fabric pots that should help as well..
Is there an average amount of water for 10litres pots? Like 100 ml every 2 days or so..
I pick up my girls in their pots just an inch off the floor or so to see how heavy they are. If they are light I feed, if heavy I wait a couple days. If I'm not sure, I leave it and check it again 12 hrs later or so. In the am and then at night, then it always gets it then or the next morning. Once in awhile I'll let the leaves droop alittle to just make sure I'm not getting them to wet for to long. Just what I do, never had a problem with over watering, and I think they get plenty. Like every 3 to 5 days...Again, just what I do and o think they fill out fine. Also imo, you could veg another few weeks and get 3x or more you're return. Just my opinion. Best of luck, you're in a good place to learn from these boys...

Hi guys,
Finally I started a new growth.
Still in the early stages, but one of the 2 plants is looking a bit weird.
As you can see from the photos, it’s growing in an odd shape..
anyone know what it could be?

Growing medium: mix of soil, coco coir and perlite.
Light: 600W led
Humidity: 50/60%
Temp: 23/28 C
Nutrients: not more than 500ppm for now

Common. Just keep them alive until week 3 and they will blow up if they are a keeper.

Lollo84:It is from the soil /watering.Add more perlite and leave them longer to dry more,more O2 is needed in the soil and now most important is root developing,after that comes the eating:).Also be carefull with nutes,they don't need much now( no need at all in fact,root stimulator will be better idea).When you transplant make better mix properly aerated.I would skip the coco in the mix.....but that's me.....

Great suggestion!
I also bought Mycorrhizal inoculant and was planning to use it on transplant.
Should I do it now?
Also, why don't you like coco? It's the first time I use it, but I understood it should actually help roots breathe, am i wrong?

Idk..isnt that ppm abit strong for a seedling?
I dont run any nuits till i see she needs it. My clones at 250, a bean at 500 is totally nuts to me, just me, but thays why the leaves are twisted in my opinon.. the only time i see rolled leaves on a bean os cause of ppms. Just my opinion but way way to high..

I know you guys told me it’s normal, but it’s now week 3 and one of the plant still looks quite weird..
she’s with another one (same conditions) which is perfectly fine..

Any ideas? Could that be just a crap genetic?

In the interest of sharing, this is what you should NOT do :D
I harvested too early when the trichomes didn't turn cloudy yet. As you can see, they were still clear..
Next time I guess..

You can turn it upside down and check the roots.Than change the soil,clean it if there is worms or something in the soil,if it stays too wet.....I will show you mine,it was in the same condition,i was calling it The swastika :)It was growing realy,realy slow and ugly compared with the others as you can see...It turned good after some improvements in the soil and watering and started to grow normal.I'm sure it was my mistake:)So try to check and change something in that direction.Coco is fine but I prefer to use it clean or with perlite the way coco should be used with proper fertz and stuff.Not in soil mix with peat....
