Runt worth keeping ?

I have 6 plants going right now. 3 in week 3 seedling and the other three sprouted a couple days ago. One of the first three is about a 1/4 of the size as the other two. Is it even worth keeping it around? When it was sprouting the casing wouldn’t fall off so I had to help it. I thought only the first two leaves were gonna be weird but they’re all coming out weird. The main stem hasn’t really grown in any way shape or form. Am I just wasting light energy at this point. I know it’s not much but still could be using it for other plants

Genetically the runt might be the most potent and best producing plant you have. Won't know unless you grow it out.

That’s the only thing that’s got me holding on honestly.

Lot's of life there, stay the course bud. You said you wanted to learn and do multiple strains, this is a good opportunity to see what she does. Not a waste of energy at all.

Runty abused girls with daddy issues are usually the best.

Ime, they're slow, light on production but the end product is dank!

Your mix looks super airy. You’d need to feed often to keep that pH in check without much soil to buffer.

You can get that leaf mass in under 10 days so yea - pH related issues here.

Well you can grow in coco and water every day - it holds oxygen very well. You have made a semi hydro system. Probably water less in quantity but more often at the right pH.

3 weeks and they should be wee bushes!!

I only water once a day. Nutes at 1/4 strength

Personally, since I usually have to many seeds just sitting around, I kill plants that arent growing the same as the others in the run, the next to take its place will grow as normal and minimal loss in harvest weight compared to a plant that finishes half the size of the others.

Im gonna guess your using a very low real wattage light here though if those pictures are 3 weeks in

It’s probably not as low as I should have it at this point. I’m gonna measure in a few . Think I have to drop the light down.

Are you pHing the water after you add the nutes?

You walk in to a bar and see that fine blonde at the bar but it the redhead in the back corner that going to rock your world let it grow as always thank you for your time and the best of luck

So it’s a “1000w LED” I know those ratings are completely off so I have a light meter and it’s reading at about just under 900 watts so it wasn’t that far from the label but still not 1000 true watts . So no to the lighting issue. I just measured the height. It’s 24” from the plants. I think I need to water more frequently and a little less like this guy was saying. I noticed the coco getting a little drier faster.

Put the red head on something get her a little closers to the light it might wake her up as always thank you for your time and the best of luck

I once had a runt that I called the "dwarf dirt dweller" that stunk like hell but turned out to be quite decent smoke

If you have the room to do so, id keep it. Like Renfo said, you wont know if its worth keeping or not, unless you keep it and find out.

You could potentially be throwing out the most potent bud you've ever smoked in your life

Send her to me ill put up with her sh!t lbvs!
