    MW1 17 days since sprout  View attachment 1575164 View attachment 1575165
    This bad boy has had it's ups and downs, I overwatered the shit out of it as a small seedling. Hope it recovers well, minute amount of nutrient burn on lower 1st leaves. Two branches from main stem?? Any ideas on this..
     
    MW2 11 days since sprout View attachment 1575166
     
    Additional pics available upon request..
     
    Check my sig for full journal from my 1st thread.
     
    Cheers. Thanks!!
     
  4. Wait.. that plant split like that and you didnt do anything to it? That is awesome.. thats gonna be a good plant
     
  5. Correct, I have not done any type of training to them yet. It did that about 7-8 days after breaking ground...I had someone tell me to trash it and start over, but that seems idiotic hah...
     
    Is the splitting some type of mutation? Rare im assuming...
     
  6. Also nice grow you've got going on..I hope mine look like that one day...pre 98 bubba looks legendary
     
  7. Haha people are crazy.. I believe what happened is the main branch never started growing so the two side branches took over as the main stem. People cut the new growth on purpose to get their plant to look like that and have an even canopy so yeah, its pretty rare. Definitely a keeper

    And thanks man, I just cut one down and have it drying in my room, it smells amazing
     
  8. Awesome sounds like MW1 should be a true winner!  My auto beans should be arriving soon, makes me sad i don't have more space available to get them sprouting ;\\
     
  9. You can always make another grow cab! haha
     
  10. Wish it were that simple friend!
    At home still, parents know but won't allow for much more than another tote on top of what I have, and plan to use that solely for lights so I can increase the vertical height for my babies to grow a bit more :D
     
  11. Ahh I see. I have the same situation lol I can only use my closets but thats plenty of room for me
     
  12. Daaamn did your seeds get taken?
     
  13. Only thing in the box was some white gift wrap, not even the gift was inside :C
     
  14. I heard seed companies hide the seeds in the box.. did you look really well?
     
  15. Good thing I have the guaranteed shipping..just hoping the reship makes it with no snags...2 weeks of waiting brutal hah...time to fire up the vape!
     
  16. I broke the box down, saw nothing, I will search again as I have nothing better to do lol
     
  17. Damn that sucks man, at least they will send you more
     
  18. Looks good bro, like perfect
