No "real leaves" yet, is that normal?

[Francesco10]

Hi everyone, relatively new grower her, i have planted a seed of an autoflowering plant, the seed germinated within 4 days, with 2 beautiful, healthy looking codeylons, and...thats it! Has been 10 days after that, and the little plant still has only those 2 codeylons, nothing else!
It looks still nice and green, and a little more robust than when it came out, but nob"true leaves" yet..
Could soneone please tell me if its something kind of normal, or should i just give up to it and start another seed?
Thanks!

Hello. I’ve never seen anything like this. I’m new myself but done a lot of research. I would put them in a smaller pot and let it grow just to see what happens. I’d also start some new seeds if I was you. Keep me updated on her

 

[Francesco10]

I will, i can see in the middle of it some tiny yellow stuff, like dry, not sure if it was growing and then for somecreasons stopped, but the weird part is the seedling is not dieing, looks healthy..
Thanks for responding.

I think it's a dud seed after 10days i'd toss it and start again.

 

[Merkle]

I would hold off on throwing this one out. Place a dome over it and see what happens.

Could you make a closeup of the middle?

Its not normal but the times that it has happened to me it ended up dying after a while. You never know anyway and since youre at day 10 wouldnt hurt to wait a bit more but it doesnt look like is preparing any set of leaves anytime soon.

Apical meristem problem. I had one with only one cote leaf and no visible meristem in a solo! After a month, a meristem started developing, and the plant actually grew! I would start more seeds! You don’t wanna be waiting around for that! But it wouldn’t hurt to keep it going and see what happens just for the hell of it! I’ll bet it will correct but it takes forever! Just two cents!

I had 2 Gelatos pop upside down this spring (not what's happening above, just reminded me) and I gently pulled them out and put them back in. 1 of the 2 I harvested not even a week ago

The other seedling looked similar to the above and I gave it about 10 days and pulled it and it's what I'd recommend for you to do.

On a side note I never start 1 seed, ever. Min 8-10 these days as I make my own seeds BUT I never expect all seeds will pop or even grow or grow well so it's a numbers game. Start 3 get 2, maybe only one but you got one. Plant 8 seeds and get 5-6 growing seedlings.

Of course the first time you plant 3 seeds you'll get 3 seedlings but always remember these words of wisdom from Igor, "Could be worse, could be raining"

I would definitely stick a humidity dome on it

But by day 10 would expect more than that

I am one of those guys that's puts a sprout into a big pot. It takes preparation and a watering routine to properly do this.
If this fails try my routine.
Fill a 3 of 5 gallon fabric pot with your soil. I recommend a good 20% perlite by volume mixed well with no clumps at all. Water the pot like it has cannabis already growing. Set it in your running tent for minimum 4 days checking water weight on the pot. This will allow you to see if your environmental controls can handle the humidity of a full pot AND to see if you bought a bag of gnants with your dirt. If no gnants appear yaay but if the do you will not have to treat them with a seedling in the pot.
If the pot is clean of bugs go ahead and start a seed. At this point your pot should be very dry and hopefully you filled in the edges where it pulled away. Start your watering routine before you put the seed in. Place a solo cup over the expected placement of your seed and water with 200 ml around the perimeter of the pot like this.

See the blue solo cup on the plant.
See how each sprout has a dry area around where the sprout was placed. Never water directly on the plant or even near it. Make the plant find the humidity with searching roots.
Water the plant at that rate every 2 days until the plant leafs grow past the perimeter of the solo cup and you would squish leaves. After that you can start raising your water level but now water the whole top of the plant. Prolly around 509 ml. That does not sound like much but it is 1.1 lbs of water and you will feel the weight. Once you get the weight thing on pots down it is so much easier to know the plant needs watered.
Overwater kills more new grows than anything and improper lighting steals more yield than anything.

Ps. When sprouts die that young they can stay in limbo with no growth but still look green. If you get zero growth in 5-7 days move on. It's dead

Thanks, i grow indoor, not room for 8 plants, but 2 or even 3 ok, started a new one today.

Hi, I will try. It looks like something dried in the center, its very small, but its yellow. Could be the humidity us too low? It was on 37% when this happened, now i have raised it to 45-50%

Hi, yeah, that's what i thought doing. Actualky, just started 2 more, and have planty of flowers to smoke from my previous 3 plant. By the way, 1 of my plant thst i had outside got impregnated (pollineted), she was growing beutifully, lots of sticky buds but suddenly they stopped growing, at that point was harvest time, and when after drying it, i cleaned it, there were some little things loking like not-yet-formed seeds, the weed looked like the weed we used to buy in the 80's, and finally i found 1 seed fully developed. She must be pollineted toward the end, so seeds didn't have enough time to fully develope.
I also think that could have been self-pollinating, since was exposed at dome light at night, and I read thst can make self pollination happen.

Forgot to say, I smoked it and makes me very sleepy, like sativa better, but this one it's really good to sleep..

I had one do that this summer, outdoors and it took a month to grow any branches, but it DID. I kept it just to observe what would happen and will never do that again. LOL
