newbie!
ok so i bought 20 super iced grapefruit seeds from gorilla seed bank. the first batch was caught by customs so gorilla did a reshipment. when the reshipment arrived i wasnt to happy with the look of the seeds, i was expecting some big grey stripped seeds but i got small light greenish looking seeds. germination was really poor. not sure if it was my mistakes but out of the 20 only 3 came out, i did them in batches of 2 and i tried different methods. anyway ive got 2 issues.
The first seed that popped the leaves were really skinny, like a sativa, i was growing in coco and after a week or so i fed it some less than quarter strength advance nutrients part a and b and a couple days after the leaves burned and the plant eventually died. i fed it early because the leaves were light light green and i assumes it needed some food.
The second seedling is currently doing ok at 1 week and 4 days old, ive change from coco coir to a soil mix and this seedling looks alot different, the leaves are nice and broad like an indica strain.
so my 2 issues are these:
1) why do i have 2 different looking plants when they all supposed to be the same strain? did i received some mixed up shitty seeds?
2) ive attached a picture of the current seedling and all its leaves are pointing upwards. i have it about 5 inches away from a T5 VHO 4ft light fixture. is this pointing normal? does it want to go closer? should i put it closer? the other seedling jus popped like a couple days ago and it was in coco coir and i placed it under light about 6 inches and the leaves started to turn yellow so i placed it out in the sun and now its turning green again slowly......ive heard that coco sometimes contains alot of salts, cud that be the culprit in why my seedlings are turning yellow?
