what is wrong with these exodus cheese babies? everyone is treated equal here, no difference in feeding, water, temp, soil, light...all things are equal but i can't figure out what's wrong with these 2.
I assume that your Ex. Cheese is from Greenhouse Seeds? Greenhouse is notorious for having BAD genetics.
Your photos show definite genetic issues. At 39 days that thing should be at least 1' tall and the fan leaves should be far more vigorous and 7-10 into flowering. that plant looks like it has cancer or something.
I am growing a Greenhouse Exodus Cheese which was a seedling for 10 days, then transplanted. i added a photo of mine. I never count seedling stage, rather week 1 starts, for me, after transplant into final container. So i call these plants about 5 days since transplant so this plant is a grand total of 12 days old from the sprout until now. Look at the difference between ours. Also look at the difference between your other plants which are WAY healthy.
So here is the problem. GH just has "crap shoot genetic issues". The superbud I have, the seedling was all discolored and scraggly but it grew out of it and is now a STINKY, GOOEY strain. On the other hand I had one of those packets with the colored seeds in it, WW and WRhino. Out of 5 only 2 germinated. The ones that did looked like a head of kale during veg but when they started to make buds the tips of the buds turned brown/gray, died and fell off. The buds did finish though. At more than 50% loss of expected yield.
Greenhouse just has a rep. that is questionable at best. I've had good ones and bad ones, more bad than good. And the color coated seeds are ALL HYPE, plus to germinate them you have to follow the info on their site. Floating in h20, paper towels etc...
Now on my last 3 grows I had a Greenhouse Superbud, started shitty the first 2 generations but kept improving until the last gen. when it just lost it's vigor.
When GH seeds grow well they dominate but when they suck they suck like a black hole.
I do not order GH seeds but Attitude gives them as freebies sometimes so I still grow them to give 'em a chance because when they do well they do WELL.
Check out the pic I sent and notice the difference. On the 2nd pic, the bud in the middle is the GH Superbud. It is stinky and sticky. With Greenhouse it really is seed to seed, good or bad.
Good luck with your grow. The only thing is is that at 39 days it should be far more of a plant. i say bad genetics or bad feeding (more likely genetics because your other plants look healthy). granted each plant likes to be treated a bit differently those should still look better than they do. .
