ive been looking a lot for the average size and I just can't seem to find it, in 4 weeks some are 5 inches. At 5 weeks some are already 12 inches. My plant is 3 weeks old from seed and she's 3.5 inches. Is that normal?image.jpeg

And BTW...

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Do a search using your current question as the keyword(s) and ZOOOM!! Like Wonka's Great Glass Elevator…off you go to tons of threads answering all your questions. Read all the Newbie Central stickies and learn…

After that you are a seasoned vet. Because to soak up all that information and sift through it, is going to take time. You will likely finish your first grow by then. Viola! grow complete and education well under way.

There's no "average size", too strain dependant and then variables like strong vs. weaker seedlings. Looks ok for 3 weeks, you'll do better to let them get bigger in each container, then up-pot them to slightly larger container (e.g. cup ->1gal ->3gal), do that a couple of times. Putting them straight form seed into a large container or up-potting from a party cup to a large container will slow them down if anything. You want the roots to get constrained in their container before up-potting them, break up the soil a bit on transplant, they'll take off faster after a couple of days settling into their new container.

It's clawing a little bit, so maybe a bit too much nitrogen, but the yellow with crumbly edges makes me think you also either have a legit phosphorus deficiency, overwatering, or even a Mag def if those veins stay green. Mag and phosphorus deficiency together would indicate probable overwatering.

I think the issue is seriously stemming from overwatering. That isn't just mag. That is either P or K def as well. Which makes me think overwatering.

Yeah, it's kinda drooping so I know it's over watered, I only water it when it's crusty dry. But with the soil it keeps moisture in so it's harder to get it all the way to the Bottom of the pot.
