Day 7 from sprouting. Jack Herer Indoor Grow. Help me.

[CriticalJackAttack]

A pleasant day, master growers!

Here are some pictures of my seedlings:

Seedling 1:

Seedling 2:

What would be the issues you could observe at this early stage of growth? I was just wondering if there are any early signs of deficiencies or issues from the looks of the leaves? Also, seedling 2 kind of bends over because of the overall weight of its leaves. Pictured here:


I had to put a support for the seedling for fear of breaking the stem, What could this mean? Is my light too far from the plant? I think the leaf structure in the above image is kind disproportionate with its stem? Hehe!

I would appreciate input. Noob here so be kind! Peace! Keep tokin'!

I see, Thanks! Other than that? Do the plants look okay? Kind of a worry-wart. I treat 'em like babies. Ahahaha!

Yeah they look healthy

Fill your pots up with more soil especially around the stem that way it will hold itself up!

 

[PURPLEB3RRYKUSH]

I use a straw if i get a stretchy seedling, works the best

 

[Gregor Eisenhorn]

What THCBrain said mate. There is a sticky thread here somewhere on Rollitup that shows how to treat those long stretchy stems in case you need it. Apart from that, they look fantastic. I'm curing my JH and I can say that after a few samples it's a great strain.

 

[makka]

i purposefully bend them that way in readiness for the rest of the grow she will be fine

I am mosdef going to do that sir! Thank you for your input!

I see, straws would do nice. I'm also fearing sticking those support sticks into the root growth. I wonder? Would that retard growth?

Thanks for your input Sir PURP

Thanks Sir Gregor. The stretchy one was the first one that sprouted and immediately shot-up like crazy. While the other one was more of stout. Probably stockier. Would it be safe to determine the phenotype this early?

Ooooh, so it's kind early LST-ing the plants? That would be awesome if that were the case.

Thanks for you input Sir Makka!

No problem dude good luck

Yes, more soil, even in those pots. Then when you pot up, bury the stretchy part up to (close to) the leaves. Also, air movement will really help build strong stems. You'll use various fans throughout your project, get a small one close to those. Not directly on them if you can help it. Bounce it off something so you get just enough air to see 'em dance around a bit.
BTW, your plants look really good, and JH and its relatives are legendary. I just chopped a JH x NYD (BlimBurn) and it's like waiting for Christmas. You'll like yours too, I'm sure.

I've grown Jack Herer before, and loved it. And my boyfriend at the time loved it as well. It got him in the mood for sex like nothing else.

Good luck. You're in for a real treat.

hey are those from seedsman? mine are the exact age as yours, and they seem to be weak compared to the other strains i started. not as perky. they should come around nicely once they get some roots under them

Here's an update of my first and current grow at 11 days from sprouting. I got so psyched when I opened the grow cab today! I left the lights on for 26 hours and maaaaaaan, the results:

Here's the one with, what used to be, a weak stem:




Plant 2 (stout and stockier):



26 hours under the light and wow...just wow. The rate of development, in my opinion, is astounding. I grew land races before back when I was in high school and nothing else compared to how fast this things sprouts. Talk about JACK and the Beanstalk. *giggles*

Here's the overall view of my grow:



Thanks!

Hey, sir LoBudget! I did air movement during the night cycle by maintaining a bit of a breeze going around the cab; enough to make the seedlings move to and fro a little bit. I'm currently using exhaust fans that get air in and out of the cab with a 5-inch oscillating fan to improve air circulation. I'm not planning to add more on account of how broke I am because of this undertaking. Hahahaha!

Thanks for the input, sir!

Wow, seriously? The whole act kinda becomes like a ritual when you do it with really good sativas! It's like going to a shrine to appease the female/male body. Ahahaha! Thanks Ma'am ZaraBeth420! I'm so excited!

Hey, TigerChan! No, I got them from Greenhouse Seed Co. I'm eleven days in from sprouting and things are looking good. When mine looked a bit weak at first, I just went with introducing a bit of a gentle breeze around the plants while giving longer cycles of light. Also watered before starting my light cycle and after 2-3 days that one weak plant I had perked up.

Cheers to us, man!

Actually shoring the thing up with dirt all the way to the cotes is much better. Roots will shoot from all the parts of the stem that is buried.

@CriticalJackAttack - is this your first grow? Plants are doing very well so far, growing like weeds.

@Lo Budget yeah my first grow. Thanks! Three finger leaves came out today. Fascinating rate of growth IMO.
