With all new seeds and soil in the pots I hope this time my grow will go well. So far so good, as we close in on the two week mark we shall see how the next few weeks play out. During that time it will be crucial for them to grow, as these are auto flowering seeds. Meaning they will start flowering on their own after a certain amount of time. Normally I grow photoperoid seeds, meaning I can induce flowering when I am ready. But with these autos they go from seedlings, to veg to flower very fast. During my last grow we got into the stage where their sex was starting to show, but then I had a sudden die off. So I hope soon I will be back to seeing which are males and which are females, and then move forward from there.

Two weeks in I am seeing lots of leaf growth, and with every watering they get a little bigger. I am still giving them a very small amount of water, only a few droppers-full of water every 6 or so days.
The leaves are looking good, no signs of distress at the moment.
I think I am going to skip topping them this time around, soon it would be time. But last time I did this they stopped growing. It was probably due to the soil being bad, but do not know for sure.
One of the seedlings fell over, it was getting too tall. I forgot to turn the fan on in the tent that moves air around, this is important as it stimulates the plant into forming a stronger trunk. Since I forgot to do this, it got a bit top heavy and slumped over. But using the power of the plastic fork I gave it some support.
I will remove the fork once it grows a little stronger to stay up tall on its own.
One of the four is quite younger than the rest, I had two failed germination so I had to start over twice with this pot. So this one is only a few days old.
Hope it catches up to the others soon enough.
Eventually they will grow into the netting, and will have a strong support for the buds. No forks needed.. lol
Excited to see how the next two weeks go, really want to get past the seedling phase as that seems to be where my recent grows have failed.
So for now they will keep growing, being little seedlings... but I hope in a week or two they will be much bigger and soon on their way to flowering. One step, one day at a time.
