@BostonBuds It's a mutant, KILL IT NOW!!! 
Mine are at about the same stage, without the horrendous deformities LOL
Here's the furthest along of the 4
And the "lollygagger", but not by much. I had to rotate them this morning because they were leaning a little. I also put warning tags as applicable to remind me of nute-specific stuff.

Haha, I see what ya did there, cut it down huh? The newer leaves seem to have all there fingers so i'll wait it out. I'm really interested in seeing how the auto grows compared to the 2 photos. Appears like its growing faster.

Where'd ya find the grow bags with the grommets? I usually just cut a small slit thru the side where I want to anchor, but those would come in handy.@BostonBuds It's a mutant, KILL IT NOW!!!

I love unique leaves.
I've had the second set of leaves come out with 1,2,3 and 4 blades in the past.
You brought me luck.
I just checked my seedlings for unique leaves.
Never had a 5 blade leaf on the second set of leaves until today.
I better break out the 600w MH soon cause I need more power lol.
This is one of my old seeds labeled SPNB-1.
Made my day!
Happy Growing!

Thanks! I bought a grommet kit at a craft store and add them. It was only about $10
I have a monster-cropped clone that had a real mess of sprouts and stuff on the trunk I wasn't keeping. I added this so I could add more soil and cover it. Started with the plastic mesh but it wasn't sturdy enough to tie to for LST so I added the 1/4" galvanized mesh after. So they come in handy for other stuff too
I don't have the galvanized stuff in the soil past the eyelets because I don't know about that galvanizing stuff, but installing a sturdy mesh would be easier and give you more tie-down options. You could just staple it to the cloth pot easier. But I would rather find a sturdy plastic or other mesh.

Look at my middle pic above. The one on the right has some separation and a 4th lobe

My goal is 13 lobes within the next 5 weeks.Look at my middle pic above. The one on the right has some separation and a 4th lobe
Might only be 11 but I'm shooting for 13.

Thats a great idea adding grommets to the pots. I tried lst on a previous plant and used small paper binder clips I happen to have on hand.

I haven't grown an auto yet, but I am interested to see what one does start to finish. Are those about 1 gallon coffee cans? Are yo going to change the light cycle on it when you do the others or does it have a separate home?

They are regular size 11oz coffee containers. I keep my 2' T12 shop light on 24/7, it's old so I prefer not to keep switching it on and off possibly ruining the ballast. I currently have a plant flowering which may take another month, so when the auto does start to flower ill just permanently switch it to there. As it is I put these seedlings in the "flower" room during the day, they seem to like the higher temps, then back under T12's. This contest is technically my 2nd grow, and I still havent finished a plant yet.

I have never watered seedlings this often, but I have been nearer the coast and had high humidity regardless. Dealing with rH in the 30's I don't think every 3 days is too much, and when I lifted them to check last night they were light, and the soil was loose like a beanbag chair\ - we'll see. I checked this morning and they are all perky.
They have had no nutes other than what is already in the soil, and the FFHF and FFLD have a whole shopping list of microbes and mico's and stuff. I messed up in the past feeding too early and not taking that into account, live and learn. They have had cal-mag at 5ml/gl just to compensate for my R/O, except the dyna-gro plant which got their equivalent. Silica is another thing I use regularly once I start feeding. Dyna-gro has their version in the sample kit, the other three will get the Botanicare "silica blast" (same people that make cal-mag).

Cool. My first grow was a "hey there's a seed lets put it in dirt" thing. It grew, flowered, stopped etc. because I had no clue about light schedules
Long story short, they grew for about 180 days, were about 8" tall and with 2 plants I "harvested" a quarter-bag off one and an eighth of the other LOL (11g total). But it was PRIMO! Anyway, I found a forum and read and learned and got hooked.
