Luckily I have a live cam setup on it hahah. I will only be 20min from my home. If I are trouble i can run home lol

Got a little aggressive pushing down on the leaves on one plant and I think i make have broke the leaf stem. I have been slightly bending them down a little to open them up. Didn’t think it would hurt doing it. Pressed to hard :-( love and learn I guess. Hopefully if I hurt it permanently it will end up a male lol

You're already getting some good advice so I'll save what I was going to say other than one of the worst things you can do to your plants, especially seedlings, is to love them too much. Let them be a little bit to do their thing. They don't actually need all that much help. Also, most cannabis plants like wet and dry cycles. Water heavily to make sure all the soil is saturated, then allow to dry out completely and repeat.

Good luck!

Go some cool pictures this morning. Looks like my big one is getting some color in the middle. Not sure if that’s good or not lol.

As long as you know they're warm enough, it's neutral at this point. Genetics that CAN go purple will show it most when they are chilly.
Nice thick leaves on those plants! Sturdy crew!

Yeah I was starting to get concerned with the leaves starting to fold up. I read It could have to do with over water. So I didn’t water today and I’ll check on them in the morning.

The temp is always between 68-72. Humidity is a little lower than I’d like (30%) but that’s all I can get without adding a humidifier which I don’t have at this current home.

That's the taco edges you see. While not ideal, your plants are safe.

More often than not my RH is hovering near the 30% mark (almost never lower) and I don't often see the tacoing, I tend to think it's more to do with the over-watering myself.

Soil was starting to crack on top. Figured it was time to water. I went about 36 hrs between watering. Noticed some things today. Wondering if the little balls are pollen sacks or if it’s just new nodes forming. Tried to snap a few pics.

I had little ball type growths down low as opposed to the preflower white hairs that were happening up the plant on my white widow auto. I was under watering, learning as a newbie. I pulled off the little ball growths, about 4 of them and never had anymore. Now on day 74.

Quick one regarding my watering practices. I am wondering if all along I am not watering enough, when I water its seems to be pretty dry by the evening if I stick my finger down the soil. I have them in MG potting mix, in the solo cups with 3 drilled holes in the bottom. When I water I never see drainage out of the holes. Should I be watering until I see what come out. Between the 10 plants I only use a total of 1 20oz water bottle. I am really getting worried for my 7 day trip away from home. Anyone have any success with the Wicking method or the Upsidedown water bottle stuck into the dirt?

Update: attached is my attempt to wick. I’m going to monitor till Friday and see if it does the trick.

I think Im going to move this over to a Grow Journal. I just keep asking questions. As appreciative as I am with all your answers, I think this is becoming more of a Journal than an introduction lol.

Is this a male?

 

[Engelstine]

Sorry for the pics but here’s some with normal light for sexing purpose. I think if I’m seeing right I have two males at least (they are definitely bigger than the others) one looks like it may have pistols but might be to early. Rest are to small or haven’t shown yet. I labeled the males and moved to the one side of the area. I still want to plant then outside once this frost stops. And I’ll take one female and plant next to it. Part of this experience is to try to get more seeds to put in the ground.

 

[WeedHopper]

Definitely a Male in the 1st two pics.

 

[Rosebud]

[Engelstine]
