I definitely vegged these too long as the stretch continues. A few training clips to try and tame the tallest branches.

Having issues with the droop factor I decided to swap my pots to a 3 gallon bag. Roots visually look great. But a droop persists. I can let plant dry right out until the actual top bends. ( ok that’s enough) Water and the top perks back up...

I get to this point doing well. Roots are filling the pots and look perfect imho. Plants are bushing out and growing bigger. But they don’t like to be watered much. If I was to soak my pots close to run off , they will go into a droopy state...

Good morning. Well this 5th seedling did arrive but definitely not looking like the rest. So it will be called a Runt until it transitions back or if it comes about. Enjoy

Good morning. 9 hrs and still nothing from this last seed. It’s wet , viable looking. Did not scuff the outsides , so with 4 in the ground I’m moving forward and cracking its shell . Needle nose vise grips would be the tool for me. Setting...

I get to this point doing well.

Roots are filling the pots and look perfect imho.

Plants are bushing out and growing bigger.

But they don’t like to be watered much.

If I was to soak my pots close to run off , they will go into a droopy state until the pot is dry and main stem definitely wilts.

Water and the top perks back up while the remain leaves drop.

There getting bigger and all but just not to my liking.

So it’s the same feed schedule but I’m adding peroxide as something is not right and it’s got to be root related and need it to break

Are those all from the same seeds they're all over the place f2 s ? Or just very unstable ?
 
Yes the five feminized seeds are from ilgm seeds.
Wow that's really bad for female seeds they should all be really close and more uniform their shouldn't be that much variation .the parents or parent must have been really unstable. At least you can tell they are from the same strain from the look of the leaves.Did they all start flowering at the same time and do the all have the same smelsl or is their a big difference in smell from the taller ones compared to the smaller plants in some ways it's a good thing.You have a wild variation to choose from. If you decide to revegg and keep any of them as long as you don't get any hermies I would watch them close.
 
The taller ones will probably be the producers and the smaller ones is most likely where you will find your keepers if they don't turn hermie on you. Gelato is notorious for having hermies because it was created by the jungle boys from bag seeds from a hermaphrodite but clone only making female seeds is like doubleing down on the intersex traits.so keep a eye out and remove any nanners if they show up.

When transplanting into the 7 gallon pots the middle one did not have the roots like the others.
Everything was going well but a few started to experience this droopy look to them.
So while getting that fixed I was transitioning my light cycle too hoping droop would fixed shortly.
Two more weeks go by and it’s better but also the more healthier ones are also taller.
It would be nice to get back to not seeing herms again.
Have come across them more than a few times now.
They all started to flower at same time and look closely similar .
This was just a fun fill in.
Have a smaller collection of some discontinued stuff I really need to get growing.
Thank you for the advice.

Yes genetics are a big deal I think crocket farms sells really good seeds for under $30.00 and a few others but those white label seeds I've tried in the past have always given me trouble they use to give them as freebies years ago but now most freebies from good company's are really good.
 
these are what I bought 37 seeds
20260828 080608
and these are the freebies 32 seeds half packs 6 in all of the freebies I also had some points from my last order and got another 22 dollars off and they let me use some of my points for half of this order because I had placed it earlier another$15 dollars off . It came out backwards the top ones are the freebies.The 4 packs on the bottom are the ones I bought.Since Ive been using verified breeders I have not had any herms and I've put some of them through a lot .It's cheaper in the long run because it using your time and space to try and grow stable genetics.Also if you decide to breed you know the parents are stable .
