What do I look for in a seedling?

Ross4Twenty · Aug 10, 2023

Another day, another question!

I’ve just flipped my babies to 12 hours and currently have a spare slot for another two babies to take their spot in my veg tent.

I have currently got already sprouted;

Chemdog (Humboldt seeds)
Purple stardawg (tastebudz)
Hash cake (tastebudz)
Reefereshers (tastebudz)
Orange moon cake (tastebudz)

It I could I would pop them all into bigger containers and grow them all but unfortunately 4 have to go! Which out of these should I keep? What to look for in seedlings?

Top seedling on last photo is orange mooncake, the purple stardawg is at the bottom.

Keep the purple stardawg for sure

it's a matter of preference if they are all healthy. If you prefer a strain pick it. Also, in my opinion, I'd pick the one that looks healthiest, and shows the most vigorous growth. Did you germ these all at the same time?

I popped the ones in the bigger pot a week before, the other 3(Chem,reeferesher z& hascake) was all popped at the same time

I’d say it’s a shade early to cull, some strains start out slow and then explode some grow quick then stall until roots fill out, give them another week or so and see how the node spacing turns outand see how the vigor is on each, it’ll help you decide what’s a better fit in the tent as you like to set it up. I like to keep my lights at the ceiling at all times and let the plants grow into them. If I want plants a bit closer to shorten up node spacing I have multiple different height stands.

In the end it’s strain and structure preference,

I like how the purple stardawg and the hash cake look atm, but they all look like healthy seedlings!

Thanks Mike appreciate your comment, could I possibly use your opinion again in a week or so ?
