Number 2 have very slow growth only 3 nodes only starting to grow out, suspect not enough light.
Number 3 has been attacked by cat and my own stupidity failled to tape it back up. And just decided to keep it as an experiement
Number 4 The buzz light year is my fav so dar. Super small with 5 nodes all growing out nicely
Going to try topping in few days

viotekusa All seem to have started flowering and started to smell a little bit too
Congratulations on your first grow and welcome to a life-long hobby!
There are many helpful and well experienced folks here that will jump right in when you have questions. Unfortunately they won't always agree with each other, but heh, that's cool.
You might want to double check some of your data point entries; currently they're indicating you have a 6 oz pot and you're giving about a teaspoon of water per day. Accurate data will help when you need an answer from the forum.
Prepare to be amazed, don't sweat all the small stuff, and enjoy the ride.
Take Care.
@AuldKelt, Thank you for warm welcome and quick observation. Currently im using super small flowering pots of 6 oz. And only spraying seedlings with just a little bit of water. I was worrying that it could be too little, but am anxious to give it more. Would you consider amount i am watering too little? If so what amount would you suggest to water them instead?
I value you observation and advice, thanks
@viotekusa,
I don't like giving direct advice on either stock trading or growing Lady Jane; Inevitably it will be misinterpreted at some point, then nobody is happy. Instead I'll just tell someone what I do.
Autos are really fast, and I don't want them to get ahead of my prep; to that end I start them in their permanent pot to spare them the stress of an early transplant. Depending on the strain that's usually a 2 or 3 gallon SmartPot. I place an inch or so of clean river stone in the bottom then use Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil; it's sterilized and comes with an excellent quantity of natural nutrients. Using this soil I can routinely go through the vegetation stage and get to pre-flowering before I need to add any other nutes. This spares the plants the stress of too much fertilizer too soon.
Regarding watering, when my kids are as young and tender as yours, I usually gently water them with 8 to 12 ounces whenever they need it. To encourage their roots I water in a circle around the plants, but not to within 2 inches of the stem so I don't risk damaging the plant. This makes the root system grow faster. I think it's fair to say that more plants are damaged by over or under watering then anything else in the first couple weeks.
One piece of direct advice I will give is to suggest you to go the GrowWeedEasy website and avail yourself of their online tutorials. I don't agree with absolutely every recommendation they make, but overall their library is excellent as a source.
Go grow!
Take Care.
Thanks so much for growing our genetics for your first time! Let us know if you need any assistance, we’re more than happy to help.
Happy Growing !!! 🌱
Nice attempt at the LST. I'm a new grower too (started my first grow about the same time as yours). The first time you decide to train is a bit nerve wrecking, lol. But, it looks like you did fine.
I'll follow you to see your progress. I'm a newbie too! Check out my first grow and follow pls =)
