I didn't even want to put my opinion out there , being my first grow, but my first thought is that it looked like a calyx that was fucked up, the side stem threw me off though, that or I thought maybe it was a cannabis plant hermying , but then when someone suggested maybe it was a sedge, the stem pattern did look very similar, or is that a side branch????
I'm very,very certain it isn't a cannabis plant. That has single bladed leaves with no petioles.
There are around 2000 different varieties of sedges and rushes. It would take me a very long time to figure out what type exactly.
I pull them out of my outdoor gardens by the hundreds every two weeks.
Not sure how to convince y'all. Maybe just grow it?

I'm convinced it isn't cannabis. But what got my attention, was the idea an auto could flower so soon. Is that possible though??
They can flower before day 20, yes.
If they cultivar isn't stabilized correctly or the plant is put through enough stress to enduce flower.

I think this thread has put me through enough stress to put me Into flower
Never seen one so small though. Even the smallest autoflowers would dwarf that sedge.
That is why I said "If it was a marijuana plant".Wow!!! You've got super human eyesightAll I could see was a fuzzy blob and something that resembled blades of grass..
So this is entirely possible. An auto seedling going straight to flower as soon as its head pops up?

Both of those things happened, shitty seed bank that doesn't isolate phenos before selling, and I poured out the soil and recupped it . Because I thought it was dead anyhow. But it still might be a sedge, time will tell.

No , I trust your judgement, but I will let it fizzle out and observe just for my sleep at night .

Actually, you seem extremely knowledgeable , if you ask me. So if you can forgive my greenness, I'd actually like to ask you a question as far as growing goes.
considering your screen name and the accumen that you seem to reflect in gardening. I originally started this whole thing out, with me and an elderly neighbor who had a place out in the middle of nowhere with good conditions and a little money to throw at it. I originally had told her that if she wanted to stop breaking the bank at the dispensary, the only alternative was to get a Seedo. Upon research I learned Seedo basically went belly up for selling more than they could actually deliver if I understood the situation. After more research I suggested the Super Closet Deluxe, it was only about a thousand more, had what seemed like some kick ass specs to it, and had 16 site superponics bed in the main growing chamber. Seemed like a decent idea at the time, but I had concerns about actually fitting 16 full plants in a damn closet, surely it wasn't meant to deliver 16 in a damn 4x4x6 ( minus huge kind K3 led and T5 side lighting) start to finish right? Seemed like they would be tiny. Finally we just agreed to order some damn seeds and put them in the ground, was late on the natural growing calendar already, and at the time I wasn't sure I could budget or pull off simulating the outdoors indoors.
I knew I needed at the very least one good light, and I looked and looked and found a Kind K5 XL750 that cost 1200.00 brand new , barely used in a pawn shop an hour and a half away on Facebook marketplace for 500. I bit the bullet and did it cause I know you never cheap out on your light, and I figured I may have to supplement daylight starting this late. At this point I still had no idea she would ok just converting entire rooms to grow, because she has people over occasionally, then I found out she has a great 10x20 locking shed she did not mind repurposing. After asking what people thought, the more experienced people told me what I didn't want to hear, which was I couldn't use that whole space without a shit ton of lighting and that I needed tents, I agreed, so I found two tall cloudlab tents with fans and bought them, couldn't afford another premium light, so I found a Mars Hydro TS1000 new but cheap on marketplace, she is throwing in a cloner chamber, feminizing materials, decent digital soil meter, and about twenty og Kush and purple Kush seeds from Afghanistan ( it was a " my ex broke my heart and I just want all this shit out of my house " kinda deal . She hooked my ass up !)
After much reading I decided naturally amended soil would be my medium of choice , I bought eight 1.5 cubic foot bags of Roots organic original formula, cause I heard so many people brag so hard about their soil and say they got great results with water only. Fuck that, I ordered their ( Roots Organic ) nutes starter kit too. I got a good drip irrigator setup. When it came to my bucket choice, I went with grobucket, that is I ordered ten of them that I will or won't use , I have to try at least one, if they don't work we will grow veggies with them, but many people swear by them for auto and photo growing. It seemed like a smart system to me, I will include a digram showing how it works. I found an instructional on YouTube about making a 4 dollar c'02 system from tubing , bottles and slow release ingredients, planned on giving it a whirl, have aero gardens for germination, will build them a small room, rosin press and curing cabinet and smart read jars on the way. Using rainwater from a 5 gallon bucket in the middle of my yard to water.
So my question is, if you would please, where have I missed something or over thought this? Any advice you can offer at all would be deeply appreciated and utilized to the letter.i kinda went from just growing a couple to prove I could do it without a grow closet to fuck it, she has room so we are doing a full setup overnight on somewhat of a budget, but I think I planned it pretty well, do you see any glaring holes please??

Wow thats a well packed bit of info. I know it wasn't directed at me, but
I'm glad you didn't get that Supercloset...I looked at them when I first started, so glad now I didn't. Overpriced.
Anyhow...sounds like you've got some good plans coming together!
Your going to want to think about a dehumidifier and humidifier if you're looking to really dial your grow environment in. How hot/cold does it get in that shed? You're on the right track from what I can see (and you've got some great members helping). There's a lot of upfront costs, but it pays to get it setup properly (like your doing), and the right equipment can save you ruining your crop (I.e. budrot)
Edit- carbon filter? Is that something you've already got?
Lots of smaller plants can give you excellent harvest weights. It's a growing style called Sea of Green (SOG). Some flip them at two weeks old. I grow bigger plants that usually veg in the 60-100 day range before I flip them.
Sounds like a decent deal with all the extras.
I did a sponsored grow for the Mars Hydro TS1000. Not a bad light at all for a reasonable price.
I have no experience with these but there are many growers here that use them. Use the forum search function for more info.
You will not need C02 unless your temps are routinely in the 90's. There is plenty of atmospheric C02 at our normal growing temps.
If you have heat problems, then you may want to revisit it.
Plants will love it because of the minerals contained within and you will love it due to the reduced water bill.

Thank you so much! Gonna make some real medicine for auntie now
will keep updating. I have some other interesting stuff going on I will post on later too.- Thread starter

Oh, do you have an opinion on Roots organic original formula? The Lush formula sounds great, but damn let me generate a little bit of capital first!Thank you so much! Gonna make some real medicine for auntie now
Sorry. Can't help you there either.
Someone around here has to be using it though. I'd be really surprised if nobody is.
I have experience with Fox farms, Mega Crop, GeoFlora and soon I will be reviewing Blue Planet nutrients elite three part.
They are an established brand though and I'm sure they spent a pretty penny on r&d for their nute line.
You have the PDF feeding schedule downloaded?
Should be pretty straight forward.

And I have a great sound system set up , and a list of stuff like this and gypsy violins that just speaks to my soul to play to them, I know they say metal all the time is best, but she wouldn't put up with that,lol , I will certainly sneak as much of the sound signature in as I can though,lol.

It won't let me link it, but I think plants would love stuff like Marlon Craft's "mom's whiskey"
