Hi, this is my first proper post so be gentle! Im putting minimal effort into growing a few seeds i found in a bad 1/8th...figured that if i get even one smoke out of them, it will be worthwhile.
planted them all (8 plants) about 2 weeks ago and theyre all very similar and growing at the same rate. i cant tell what strain any of them are because its just too early and they could be anything.
However, one of them is very distinctive and i would really like to know if anyone has seen anything like it before. It is slower growing than the rest, thicker leaves, less cerated edges and the stem is pretty much purple. the leaves themselves are also a really dark green. You can see another young plant next to it in the pot, the seed was from the same 1/8th and has been growing under the same conditions, however, that one is completely different looking from this mystery one.
Has anyone any idea what it could be? it would help me work out wether i want it or not!

Im putting larger sized pictures up because i want you all to be able to see what im talking about, its just a bit weird looking!
Thanks!

ps. I know the other plant isnt looking very healthy, i think it was a case of over fertilisation a few days ago. i flushed them last night.

heres a shot of the leaves themselves, theyre kinda bumpy and smoother around the edges. i know its the first couple leaves, but i havent seen anything like it before.

Heres a shot of the stem, its actually purple, and very strong.

and now have realised i posted the pictures with the wrong comments....you get the idea.

Impossible to tell mate, you'll have an idea of the sat/indica dominance when the proper leaves start sprouting smile.gif

You wont know the strain but at that stage they need high humidity and that soil looks pretty dry.

Sounds like ya bought a bad 1/8th!! Ya never know though ya might get an amazing smoke out of it. I wouldnt worry about purple stem its probably just been a bit cold and is more sensitive than the others. Are the seedlings in the same pot? Thats not a good idea. Ya want them in small individual pots, and ya need to gradually increase the pot size. Good luck mate.

Top pic looks hungry. lol.gif yeah or over ferted like ya said, missed that bit.

each seedling has its own pot, except that one, as its small, i didnt want to move it yet, and the other one looks too poorly to move at the moment. cheers for the comment tho, i think ill need luck with these ones!
