Today is 14 days from sprout and this Chocolope doesn’t look right. It doesn’t look like it will make more nodes. There are 3 other seedlings and they all look nominal (see second pic). Is it possible I unknowingly physically damaged it?
Here’s Pat lol
And here’s a Gold Leaf right next to it.
FWIW, I germinated more than I really need so it’s not a huge deal if this one is gonzo.
If you move that uni-leaf aside, is there any sign of a deformed second leaf growing under it?
Since it’s a photoperiod, you could always try snipping that node off (top it).
Hmmmm…I’d snip off the uni-leaf, but I could be wrong. Let’s get somebody else in here. @dbrn32 @Countryboyjvd1971
@poundcake I wouldn’t stress it looks like it starting to grow side shoots
You can remove the single finger leaves or leave them they will turn yellow eventually and fall off
I normally pull them once a few sets are established
Natural light is best when trying to diagnose a issue in this case it’s ok
14 days isn’t a long time, and sometimes the runts will often outgrow rest of crop. If it’s not hurting anything right now I would leave it.
Thanks all. I hear ya @dbrn32 about the runts/laggers. My first grow had a late sprout and another just grew way slower early and they’re all same size now.
I was a bit concerned that the big leaf at top with no ability to make nodes would shade the new leafs/node below but I’ll just let it go.
It almost looks like the leaf at top is just one side/half of the first node and the other side/half is what is now growing near cotyledons. I now remember that one cotyledon was deformed on this one.
I’ll name her Auto-top lol.
It’s growing down by the cotyledons. I just now cut that uni-leaf off, right when the lights went out. It was shading the new growth and it looks like there’s enough new leaf surface area below to keep her going.
