    Hello everybody, I embarked on growing an unknown indica seed, germinated with cup of bottled water and then paper towels...Root appeared in two days, I placed the seed in coco and perlite mix, within another two days a sprout appeared...This was 3 weeks ago. My seedling has grown, but I have done alot of research etc, and my seedling seems to be growing extremely slowly...It only has two true leaves, two cotyledons and some weird looking things in the middle, it's growing in a room on its own, enough air flow and water, as well as sunlight I'm leaving it by a well lit door that receives about 3 hours indirect light, 7 hours direct light, and then once it's sunset I leave the room light on...I water it with bottle water...The thing is am I being impatient it has been 3 weeks exact today, and the growth seems very slow... I am new to all this, I am sorry of this is posted incorrectly, will upload a few pics in a bit. Thank you to all.

  3. I have the same? Except my baby doesnt even have true leaves and her cotyledons didn't emerge very forcefully. I left net s kone for a few days but I ended up removing her seed myself. And her cotyledons appear a Lil burnt where the seed was for too long. Anyway its been 15 days and she's not dying but not growing. I'm wondering if it's a waste of good soil or whether I should just let her do her thing. Any ideas?

    May just be weak or bad genes. It's not a waste of soil though. Pull it and pop another one.
     
  7. Hey thanks man. Considering the source, that sounds about right. Well, you win some, you loose some.
     
  8. You need more light. Also, what type of soil did you plant it in? That looks to have the consistency of mulch.
     
  9. Coco and perlite has no nutrients in it.. are you feeding nutrients or just plain water? Also that coco looks like coco chips. You want the other stuff that looks more like dirt, not mulch.
