well, good news is seedsupreme is resending my seeds. i only ordered them 5 weeks ago, and they've been in customs for 27 days. they arent going anywhere. bad news is, i dont know if i'll get them in time for this contest. poop. lol
 
sorry to hear that man.. sucks when shit goes wrong.. i hear ya on eating im not eating so much now i hurt my knees.

well i say get high, and here is a happy face to cheer up your day.. :) worth a shot yeah !
that lit my whole screen up,, think i tripped a breaker! Now thats a happy face ^^^^^!
 
So my pineapple chunk that stopped progress at tap root I left for a few days to see if anything happened & out of curiosity decided to pop the seed open. Out from it came 2 tiny little white creatures maybe 2-3mm long wondering if anyone can shed some light? My camera won't focus on them but Checked my room as best as I could going to go buy a magnifying glass shortly.

My guess is the soil or medium has springtails in it or possibly fungus gnat larvae but I'm leaning towards springtails. They like to munch on decaying organic matter, fungi, and you guessed it.... sometimes baby tap roots. Springtails and gnat larvae alike thrive in moist environments. I doubt your room is infested. I think they came with the soil or whatever medium you bought

Do they look like this? That's a springtail. They are generally harmless except to seedlings in my experience so far because the taproots are so soft, small, and fragile. Getting rid of them before you plant is your best bet or letting your seeds germ longer in a paper towel works too so the tap root is bigger and stronger. I let the coco for my seedlings dry out slightly for a day or so before using so any possible bugs inside die out. I wouldn't worry about your bigger plants.

That's good to see, I imagine this maybe because I left my soil bag in the grow room where it's expectedly warm. obv a rookie mistake I left unused water in there too and they have started to grow green stuff in the bottles. Still a shame about the bean though was looking forward to some pineapple :(
 
and yes they look like in the picture, so that means springtails?
Most likely. If they have those two small littler feelers at the end of their head then they are springtails. Indeed it's a shame your seedling didn't make it, but at least you can prevent them from munching on your tap roots in the future. Just make sure to set let a solo cup worth of soil/medium or however much medium you need for seedlings and let it dry out a bit before using. That will take care of any bugs before you sow the seed. You don't have to do that for larger plants. It's just a bug preventative measure for seedlings.
 
heh cool leafs. iv noticed teh first leafs can get all fuicked up but then they grow normal.. yours seem to like that twisty leaf all the way through flower id imagine.,

Looking good man! Ya usually the leaves grow out normal after a while like you said but I've heard of some strains doing weird stuff hahaha. We'll see what happens.

Those roots are looking good. I see some strong white ones trying to branch off into smaller feeder roots! That's the ticket. If I could recommend a feeding schedule I'd just start off with something nice and simple to see how they respond like "Feed, water, water." and repeat. If they need more food then you can bump it up to every other time "Feed, water, feed, water." and repeat. If they need less then you can tone it down to "Feed, water, water, water." and repeat. :cool:

sounds good. im sure the plant will talk to me.. im sorta getting a idea.. right now my older plants are begging me hardcore for water. hah.. but i cant do shit till tonight so they just gonna have to deal with it,.. but sure makes me sad i cant water them when they are begging me hah.

but at least i know now what over water looks like and what "water my ass now you lazy fuck looks like. hah

yeah i feed twice. it was starved for a week.. but i feed the other 4 plants the same size twice too and they are great.. so at least for this crtical kush and that size i can feed twice before water which works out.. because by the time they dry up for the second feeding i can transplant into larger pots and just water and teh soil can feed them.. so yeah i got sorta of a system to work with now with this strain.


yeah iv seen GG4 that fucker like to flip its leafs odd.
