Hey guys! First time grow here. The taller plant is Sweet Tooth and the small one is Grapefruit. Both are bagseed from great buds!! I germ'd both at the same time and Sweet tooth tapped first. I waited for the other to pop but it didn't. So I planted both! The other popped up about 5 fays after Sweet tooth was up.
As of right now I only have them under a single 26w 6500k cfl. I plan to pick up more soon. Kinda broke atm! As of right now, Sweet tooth is 10 days old and Grapefruit is about 5 days old. My whole plan is to build a space bucket type design. Which should be up and running in a couple weeks. Anywho, my small girl looks kinda weak and limp and my tall bitch looks kinda yellow and looks like there may be some spots?
Thoughts please!!!

1.) don't water those too much. It looks like you have a puddle of water in that last picture. Those things will grow with very little water. If it stays too wet for too long they will drown/rot.
2.) those plants are extremely close together. I can see space issues in the future both above and below soil. Depending on how big you want them it might be better to choose between one or the other. But maybe with some lst and a bigger pot it could be fine.

separate those seedling before the roots are entangled. Think Solo cups. I like the Red ones:peace:

Thanks guys! I had just watered them about 15 min prior to the pics being taken. How would you guys suggest I separate them?? I plan to put them into bigger pots as they grow bigger but eventually they'll be grown in 5 gal buckets. LST is in the future for both of them

Ya you gotta separate those man! It usually doesnt end well for one or both! And if you want them to lose some of that week lankyness, repot into solo cups and only leave about the first 1" or so showing. And add more light!! The 23watter isn't gonna cut it for much longer. So, repot, don't water as much and add lights, lots of lights! Happy growing man!!!

To separate, I usually; with clean hands; just start a couple inches away from them dig my fingers around them both until you get deep enough no to tear any roots. Then gently pull them both out in one clump. Set on a clean surface and start breakingthe clump down until you get two seperate plants then repot. Do it as quick as possible cause too much light will start to kill the roots. Try not to pull any roots off in The process either

Alright guys, I separated the 2 into different pots. Hopefully the shock doesnt kill them! Im contemplating on watering them a tad bit but Im not sure. Thoughts?IMG_20131107_163307_481.jpg

I did happen to water them each a little bit of water. Probably won't water again for at least a couple days.
What do y'all make of the spots? And do y'all know a cure? It'd be appreciated!
