Hey I have 2 joint doctor Diesel plants. My one plant is turning out perfectly. But the other one took an extra 24-30 hours to come up. Its leafs are not getting any bigger and the leaf size is distorted. Please take a look at tell me what you think.
If you're only on day 5 or 6 I'd say just make sure you are watering it with the correct pH water and that it is receiving enough light and not too much heat. (Be careful not to over water though) Other than that it's a waiting game seeds take time to start. And as to the deformed leaves it could just be a mutant lol. I've had a few of those and they turn out okay in the end, but they just start off a bit weird.
Also not all plants are equal just as not all humans are equal or anything else in the universe. So you can't expect each plant to perform and grow at exactly the same rate unless they are clones which these don't appear to be
Looks fine..going to take a while to start growing above soil because it's working on making roots in that big pot right now..that's why they recommend starting in something small so it can get established quicker..just be patient it's still growing..and don't overwater it should be bone dry when you water
