I have read a lot of good stuff on here, thought id give a shout out with a wierd seedling i got, see if anyone has seen anything like it.
Growing autos on my balcony in the south of Spain, hot sun here is awesome for autos and grow shops are easy to find. Not to mention killer weed for 5 euros a gram street price
Just had a very weird sprout. The first thing to break earth was a stem on top of which, or ending, in a small grooved slightly brown hook.
I thought maybe the tap root got confused? There was no sign of seed husk. I decided to be patient and see what happened. I'm keeping plants on the terrace, the seedlings under plastic cut offs of soda bottles to keep them humid, now hardening them off.
Two days after weird shoot broke surface it didn't seem to be growing at all, all of a sudden up shot a "normal" looking Marijuana sprout right next to it. The first day of hot sun here after some rainy days and the new sprout shot up within hours! The new seedling had on top the husk of the seed, and the two cotyledons opening with two tiny first leaves visible. The weird thing is it is a yellow color. Like the color cotyledons turn as they are dying on a big plant, a kind of sickly yellow color. I see no signs of mold on the stem or signs of damping off.
I gotta rewind and say that I germinated the seed (a haze/ruderalis auto called "chocopolen") in wet paper towel then transferred to light mix. After 3 days seed sprouted, then took 5 more days (!) for first weird stem to emerge from earth. I germinated a skunk #1 at the same time and she is doing well, first leaves already filling out.
I am thinking the reason they took so long after I put them in the dirt is because I put plastic wrap over them and left (forgot) them out in the hot sun 2 days in a row, the pots and earth got really hot and I don't think the few holes I made in the plastic wrap gave enough ventilation. So I thought maybe mold... could this explain my weird plant?
I'm going to be patient and see what happens... and be careful about too much humidity from now on.
Just wanted to share my story and see if anyone has experienced anthing like it.
