My first grow - meet the girls

So I planted 5 seeds on 14th June... I have 4 plants from that.

I planted another 2 on 6th July. Both have sprouted.

Here are photos of the ladies (I name them based on their strain)... I know they are small and I'm sure I made a ton of mistakes with them, but I learnt a lot and have enjoyed the process.

Any feedback on them would be appreciated.
I am growing in a small greenhouse, no lights, no heaters etc. Just a small fan and some nutrients in a coco coir substrate. Oh and ignore the little oranges... the ladies are in disguise

The seedlings - Choco Thai (Hanako), and Pineapple Express Auto (Pinni)

Clem had... issues. She was the runt for a long, long time. Then in the last month she zoomed up with no branch or leaf looking alike, self-spliting... she's doing her own thing and I have no idea what that thing is

They look good, have you tried some low stress training for the lemon auto to get it to branch out ? I use bonsai wire it works great

I've done LST for the other plants but Clem (Lemon auto) literally went from being only four inches tall at 6 weeks old, to the size she is now at 8 weeks !
She was so feeble and thin at 6 weeks that I figured she wasn't going to make it, so I've been letting her grow her own way for now. But if her stems thicken a little more I will definitely do some LST with her.

Hi!

Your plants look really healthy and happy. Since you are growing in coco you may be interested in high frequency fertigation. Here is a link for good reading about it if you are interested.

Thank you!

I have never heard of this so look forward to learning about it.

they look great. little bit pale green but that could be from the camera.keep it up-
Awww thank you.
I was convinced that I'd messed them up as they seem so tiny in comparison to these super lush grow tent plants I see. But I'm enjoying the process and if I get some bud at the end of it it's all the better!

Looking good so far!
Lmao at the oranges, better be careful in this economy... Someone might try to pick your oranges and find out they hit the jackpot!
The other day I was waiting in my car picking someone up, and all of a sudden I heard a guy start yelling from across the street "Hey, get out of my yard! I'm calling the police!!!" All of a sudden some gypsy looking lady came running out of the bushes and ran past my car with two or three plastic grocery bags slung on her arms FULL of apples!
Apples were falling out and flying everywhere! She smiled as she ran away and said "Sorry, but if you don't pick your fruit... Somebody else will!"
I looked at my girlfriend and said "Dammmn! She had all that dudes apples! You think she's going to go bake a couple pies?"

That's hilarious!
Yesterday I saw a woman climb into scrub and undergrowth as tall as her in the garden of an abandoned house to pick blackberries!

Luckily my ladies disguise is purely to add a little deceptive colour in case any of the neighbours get out the binoculars and look at the shapes in the greenhouse a bit too closely.
Though when they go into full flower I'll need to be creative about the scent!

Also, thank you for the reassurance that they are looking good.
I'm very proud of these little ladies, but was also convinced I'd done something wrong due to how small they are for their age etc. I was looking at grow tent bushes that make these look like a dandelion in comparison and was convinced that my girlies were doomed.
I'm enjoying the process though, and even a couple of buds from one of them at harvest time would be a wonderful bonus.
