Note: 2 gal pots seem like a great size to grow medium sized plants.. i bet they will still get pretty big in those with 6 weeks of veg.

Look at my plants in the 3x3, they're in 1 gallon soft pots and 2 1/2-3 feet tall.
I'm only in 3 gals. But hey toasty did you end up using the fuzzy dirt?! Curious to see if the plants like it
That could be Mykos growing on the soil. Mykos will look like thin spider webs on the soil. Could be a very good thing.
That's what in was thinking! Probably why twox killed it with those ones
Exactly

Thanks pino.. i cant really comment on the speed difference between seeds and clones. My seeds grow faster than my clones did.. maybe the new clones will do better. I did some extra things i forgot to do at first.. like splitting the stem at the bottom and making sure everything is sterile. Phing the water in the bubbler and putting them to soak in it right away. I love growing so much. ...
Transplanted the sour lemon og into a 5 gal pot. Used almost half of my coco loco bag even with 5lbs of the kind soil on the bottom. Ill put noah and the super lemon haze in 5 gal pots once they get there. Interested to see if the stalks are bigger in 5 gal pots. I thought the stalks would be bigger in organic soil but they are the same size as when i was using nutes. Been using 3 gal pots since my first grow.
Are they fabric pots Bc if not grab some or drill holes in your plastic pots

In dirt and a photo Id grow em till one turned male and chop it. I dont know about tearing rooted plant apart. If anything Id do it now before they intertwine. My 2 sense. Ive grow outdoor plants 2-3 in a pot and hacked the males when they showed. Even two females in a pot is better than losing any. My 3 sense.

Neat it definitely looks exactly like how you described it pw.. im 99% certain its a good thing. Some weird black sludge stuff on the sides of the bags and on top of the mold too. I think that is the condensation and soil combining to form more yummy goodness for my plants. Im really excited to see if they grow better in the mykos infested kind soil as opposed to the ones in the bigger tent now. Cause that soil never got moldy like that. Just little spots of it not a giant ecosystem of it filling the top of the bag lol.

I used my crop kings voucher i had won last month and was worried i wouldnt get the seeds cause i waited too long to place the order. Had been two weeks since i placed it and no answer as to if it had been shipped. Well i emailed them about it lastnight and literally 18 minutes later they sent me an email saying they will send it right away. Kudos cks that was pretty unexpected. ..
What did you order Toasty?

I looked up some info about the mold stuff and found out the entire mass of thread like mold is called a rizomorph. Which is a type of mycorrhizal fungi. Each individual strand is called a hyphae. I like that word.. hyphae! Haha ...
Chapter 4: SOIL FUNGI
By Elaine R. Ingham, Oregon State UniversityTHE LIVING SOIL: FUNGI
Fungi are microscopic cells that usually grow as long threads or strands called hyphae, which push their way between soil particles, roots, and rocks. Hyphae are usually only several thousandths of an inch (a few micrometers) in diameter. A single hyphae can span in length from a few cells to many yards. A few fungi, such as yeast, are single cells.
Hyphae sometimes group into masses called mycelium or thick, cord-like "rhizomorphs" that look like roots. Fungal fruiting structures (mushrooms) are made of hyphal strands, spores, and some special structures like gills on which spores form. (See figure) A single individual fungus can include many fruiting bodies scattered across an area as large as a baseball diamond.
Fungi perform important services related to water dynamics, nutrient cycling, and disease suppression. Along with bacteria, fungi are important as decomposers in the soil food web. They convert hard-to-digest organic material into forms that other organisms can use. Fungal hyphae physically bind soil particles together, creating stable aggregates that help increase water infiltration and soil water holding capacity.
Soil fungi can be grouped into three general functional groups based on how they get their energy. Decomposers — saprophytic fungi — convert dead organic material into fungal biomass, carbon dioxide (CO2), and small molecules, such as organic acids. These fungi generally use complex substrates, such as the cellulose and lignin, in wood, and are essential in decomposing the carbon ring structures in some pollutants. A few fungi are called "sugar fungi" because they use the same simple substrates as do many bacteria. Like bacteria, fungi are important for immobilizing, or retaining, nutrients in the soil. In addition, many of the secondary metabolites of fungi are organic acids, so they help increase the accumulation of humic-acid rich organic matter that is resistant to degradation and may stay in the soil for hundreds of years.
Mutualists — the mycorrhizal fungi — colonize plant roots. In exchange for carbon from the plant, mycorrhizal fungi help solubolize phosphorus and bring soil nutrients (phosphorus, nitrogen, micronutrients, and perhaps water) to the plant. One major group of mycorrhizae, the ectomycorrhizae (Figure 3), grow on the surface layers of the roots and are commonly associated with trees. The second major group of mycorrhizae are the endomycorrhizae that grow within the root cells and are commonly associated with grasses, row crops, vegetables, and shrubs. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Figure 4) are a type of endomycorrhizal fungi. Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi can by either ecto- or endomycorrhizal.
The third group of fungi, pathogens or parasites, cause reduced production or death when they colonize roots and other organisms. Root-pathogenic fungi, such as Verticillium, Pythium, and Rhizoctonia, cause major economic losses in agriculture each year. Many fungi help control diseases. For example, nematode-trapping fungi that parasitize disease-causing nematodes, and fungi that feed on insects may be useful as biocontrol agents.

What did you choose?!
So interesting, gonna save this explanation on MC.

I got their haze extreme reg seeds.. didnt have the money to buy more then what i could get for free. Darn it but i wanna buy a few of their strains cause their white widow auto is honestly growing better than the mephisto autos lol.
Shes just now starting to stretch and flower and the other two have been flowering for a week or so now. I had to put the alien vs triangle on another box cause she is so short and only has like that one small main cola lol. The skywalker kush is a stretchy gal but small and not many tops. I plan on giving the white widow her own light if i can cause she is gonna get big. ..

No kidding i am so pumped!! Been waiting a month and a half! They gave me a couple extra freebies that wasnt listed in my order and 3 exodus haze seeds when i was suppose to just get 1! Super excited about that. Yay extra seeds, ill happily wait for free seeds lol. Thank you so much seedsman!!! ...
That's a fantastic surprise any day!
Exodus Haze should be a killer
