Seedling, small leaves under secondary

[Poobzilla]

Have another noob question,

I have another noob question. I have some small leaves growing under my secondaries. Is this part of the same node? Want to keep track for when I need to top.

It's hard to see, but I believe you're talking about the cotyledon(fist leaves that appear after sprouting) They are completely normal. Next time please take photos In natural lighting. Also try not to spray your plants when lights are on as the droplets may act as a magnifying glass and cause burn spots

 

[KanaGirl]

Yep, those are the cotyledon - embryonic leaves. They provide the energy for the initial growth of the plant. Your first set of true leaves are the serrated ones above, and you already have a second set of true leaves

I know about the cotyledon as they look completely different. If you look below the top leaves there are tiny baby leaves that look like when you have the new growth coming from the top. Unfortunately tent is set up next to bed so have to have their night as my night to try and help me sleep so should I just not spray then?
I did not think light would be an issue as I wasn't talking about colour, but here is another

See this on here all the time. If you feel they need humidity put some holes in a clear solo cup and place over the seedling.
Spraying causes more bad than good

I personally wouldn't spray them, add a humidifier or possibly spray tent walls instead. Please take a different photo in natural light

Just another set of true leaves

I'm not sure if humidity is an issue or not. Humidity seems steady during the day at 50% and raises during the night as its usually about 70% when I wake up in the morning. It was pretty low in the beginning and that's when I seen a tip about using a mister. I am not heavy handed with it. Just a 5 second spray or there abouts.

I am running short on funds enough that I am having to stop buying bud for a while so not an option after buying a new light. check my edit for new pic

Your humidity levels are within proper range for the stage you're at. Don't bother spraying

Cool, for counting nodes for when i get to topping, would this be a separate node or is this part of the same node since they are growing from under and not from above? such as fan leaves.

 

[KanaGirl]

That is your top node - it will continue to put out new leaves. I topped mine when it was 5-6 nodes. Once the plant gets bigger, you'll be able to see your top better. Here's some pics of the true leaves during seedling stage - looks just like yours.

@KanaGirl
Thanks for the information and pics. Looking at yours and then looking at my pic I see that the tiny leaves just may be the other parts of a fan that just look like they are growing under. Was wanting to ask just to keep track as following LBH's scrog tutorial once I begin topping.
I will also admit I am slightly quick to jump to things I'm not sure of and can't narrow down what I'm thinking to do an accurate search lol.

 

[KanaGirl]

Yes, that's exactly right, those little baby leaves will end up becoming a bigger fan leaf eventually. You're on the right track!!

 

[Poobzilla]

God damn, I need to learn patience. Why I hated gardening when I was a kid. No immediate pay off so to speak.

 

[KanaGirl]

I know, it's hard to wait, but I will say, these plants really take off after week 3, and they practically grow before your eyes! Your seedlings are looking GREAT!

Here's my girls end of week 4
