Seedling issues

[Matto835]

I have been posting alot in here think I'm just stressing out way to much for my first grow, so I just planted 4 seeds of gorilla glue autos in 5gal pots 2 days ago, one of those seeds I only planted today because of a slower germination, the seed was about 3x larger than the other seeds so I presume it just needed abit more time. So 2 of the 3 seeds that I planted 2days ago have broken soil, but one has not shown any signs of breaking through, what could be the issue for this? Should I try loosen up the soil abit and help it or just leave it another day?

I would say don’t mess with it for a few days, you could stop something important right below the surface.

Hi mate welcome aboard. dont worry too much . I have had them 5 days playing dead to burst through and show our. At this point even if they are out a little as you plant them , the tap route will be searching for the water table and the seed pod will be turning itself to which way is up or down too. This can take a few days in our time but in a plants time it is equivalent of us diving in a pool spinning and getting our bearings before heading for the definiate surface. Good move in going straight into the final pots . Be patient now and dont lose faith. For me , using a rooting plug has always been a god option first to get the roots moving and set , the into the pots. Good luck and dont worry yet. If you start a journal , we can ride along with you too. Easy to do and really useful as a record for future grows too.

Awsome thanks for the advice, I will definitely look into a grow journal first I have heard of it haha.

All the information I am reading online is just to much, and alot contradicts one another so these beginning learning stages are overwhelming, but I'm sure it will get better after my first couple grows. I have two northern lights going in the same tent but they are in week 2 my plan was those 2 plants were my practice that I was going to grow outside but i opted to put them in the tent and practice on creating the perfect environment for them so when the gorilla glue seeds arrived i would be ready, but now that I have seen good growth in the northern lights i dont want to move them outside, but i think i have to because they will be at different growth stages to the gorilla glue right? Was just thinking because they will need different heights away from the lights.

You can train them to different heights with a good super crop or tie down . Only a matter a bend here and there. The older one could have lots of growth time while you train her flatter for the others to catch up. Canopy issues will not be a problem.
