hey im steph the QT from australia

yeah i no i took them in the late afternoon thats why the pics are a bit dark. i took some more pics today. you will see that they are quite healthy and my gf took two shade leaves or something to expose the bottom branches to sun. they were pretty big and before that the plant looked really full. also she did something called crowning the plant or i think you guys say tipping it. it has grown back 3 heads. but there arnt any white spots and as for insects and stuff, well we dont really have bad insects where i live that can eat te plants. maybe caterpillars? i really wanna find no why the plant could be so much smaller than the other. and there is no perlite stuff in either pot so it cant be that coz the other plant is fine. here are some pics of the healthy bigger plant at 7 weeks old

Well those new pics are a lot better and the big plant looks lovely and healthy and fine.
We call it topping or fimming,crowning that is.
I dunno why your old pics looked like they had spots on them,had you just sprayed them with water?
Anyway all i can suggest is that your smaller plant is simply a runt.
You could try adding some kind of rooting hormone or preferably mycorihazea fungus in case its not rooting well.
What are you feeding the plants?
Best of luck:joint:
 
hey thanx. im watering them with a bit of miracle grow. and the runt thing is the best opinion iv had since i got on this website. and how ofter do i water them with just normal water. ones in a 15 litre pot and the bigger one is in a 25 litre pot. we havent done anything to the soil just soil and potting mix. its worked for other people i know

Well i only ever do sip watering.
This means that you have to do more work and pay more attention to the plant but it leaves more oxygen in the soil and prevents nutes from being washed away from the roots.

All i do is pour water as the plant appears to need it around the main stem of the plant,i only give the plant a really good soak every 2-3 weeks depending on what stage the plant is in.
I water less when they are in flower.

If you are struggling with knowing when to water and when not to buy yourself a cheap moisture meter and that will tell you when its needed for sure.
Miracle grow can be a bit high in nitrogen during flowering for cannabis imo.
You would be better off buying a cheap Nitrogen crystal mix from your local garden centre for vegetative times and the same but of phosphorus and adding some potash or bone meal to the mix.

It would be easier and cheaper for you to buy a small bottle of trusted cannabis liquid nutrients though that are tailor made for veg/flower times.
There is a guy at POT-TV: Growing Down Under with the Mighty KOG called KOG and he is an outdoor australian grower who is very well respected and knowledgable.
Watching his grow shows at the above link will help you out a lot with outdoor aussie grows.

The shows are great and are well informative and entertaining where ever you live though.
Best of luck:joint:

Also of note that the small brown marking on the tip of your newly sprouted seeds leaf would have been just where the leaf grows more quickly than the inner lining of the seeds shell and wraps itself tightly around the tip of the leaf where it has gone hard and dead yet the leaf still grows inside.
Its not really of any concern and whenever i see it happen to any of my own i simply flip them off carefully with a razor blade.

I had some plants do the same thing. I had one really nice healthy plant and two or three that were smaller. I would definitely say with genetics if you treated them all the same.
