Growers choice seeds (anyone have good luck?)

[Rootbound420]

I have 4 plants 2 gorilla glue and 2 bubble gum from growers choice seeds and to be honest they are tiny from what others ive seen. I have good light, watering is on point. Idk whats wrong. Soil is black gold full organic. They are like 6" tall and 3 weeks old.

New grower? One of the most nerve wracking things you can do as a new grower is to keep comparing sizes, some plants are growers and not showers.


You may be watering too often or too much each time. Keep them green and you'll get the biggest plant those specific seeds can produce.

Weeks 3-5 are the stretching periods.

Awesome advice thank you put me at ease. Lol when watering how far down in the pot should be dry? Within 3 days about 4" down is dry and below that is darker color but not wet.. Thats when i water and ive been giving them about a third gallon of water each maybe a little more. It saturates pretty much all the way down that way.

Pot size, and fertilizer?

Try this. Especially if you're in the tent daily anyway.

what bank? There are 2, growers choice.nl and growerschoiceseeds.com. Just bought some gc.nl, seem fine so far. Read a fair few dodgy repots back about gc.com. Beans not germing, ones that do wouldnt be keepers un less its all you got.

I just read another review about the plants not thriving like they should. At first i figured it was just the grower but after MULTIPLE people saying it i think its true. Lol

Ye sad that, I read some reports similar myself, the duch guys seem to have good beans so far, 4\4 germed in 48 hours. Have another 7 iil be germing in a week too, fingers crossed there ok too. I like to try a new breeders most years, last year ran sweet seesds tropicana poison f1 fast, was a fast starter and slow finisher.

Just a shot in the dark here but maybe try dry your plants to the point of wilt, i have a feeling your medium is to moist and compact and the roots might be struggling to fill out. Just a guess, but i have had similar problems in the past, and a good drying out or a f re pot may help

Ok i will do that. The soil does get hard i was wondering if the roots were struggling or not so i been trying to break it up a little squeezing the sides of bag but idw to hurt anything. Lol

Lol I told ya you had 10-12 weeks left, and to not trip out yet haha. I know the struggle tho. When growing cannabis patients is key bud. Patient for it to start growing well. Then with photos wait to flip to flower, loooong wait to harvest on both. Autos happens faster but still chomping at the bits to cut down. With autos tho they really dont veg, they do technically a little bit I'm meaning they really dont grow until they hit flower and start stretching. As one would be expecting anyways

Ohhh ok i see all these pics of 4 week old plants that are huge but i guess they are online cause they are either thay persons best grow or not actually 4 weeks old. Lol

Your plants look fine for 3 weeks in soil.

Unless you have some compelling evidence to the contrary, there's nothing wrong with the seeds.
I've used their seeds a few times and had great results, no worse than from seeds I've purchased elsewhere
A poor workman blames his tools

I blame me over watering first 2 weeks! Haha

Not only that, but it's your first grow. Relax, dont get pulled into others grows that isn't their first go. Even getting detailed information it's hard to follow some are until you experience it. We can say water when light all day. Until one knows what a light pot actually is, it's still hit and miss. You'll get through this grow just fine, start on number 2 with more experience than you had last grow. Imo still cant expect much out of the second grow. This shit takes years learning. Doubt you'll still be growing the same in a few grows, you'll have to learn all over again. It'll be easier since you'll have experience but still a learning process. Not just growing after that gotta learn how to dry in your environment, then cure properly. You'll think you have it then run into something new or learn something new you've never even thought about due to not experiencing it yet.

Edit: I guess it may not take as long learning using autos I take that back I grew photos first, with grow times of 6 months. So 2 grows would average a year for me.

That'll slow things down a little
Don't judge the need for watering with your finger, lift the pot and judge by weight, you'll get the knack for it quickly.
