my 2 seedlings.. I believe have either calcium deficiency or getting bleached by my lighting.. but I know they will rebound in the end.. your seedlings look very healthy.

Getting some yellowing on the leaves ... any idea ?

Surely can't be deficiency this early on.

Maybe overwatering...

Had that issue last year. I'd recommend letting em dry out, then water with some nutes at the next watering. Could also be nute lockout if your water or soil PH is too high.

Edit: I had nute deficiency last year after only about 3 weeks when using organic potting mix. So it can happen early depending on the type of mix your using.

Looks a little chlorotic. Have you checked the ph? Other than that they look fine, but I dont think its too early for a weak shot of nutes

Given me some ideas, thanks Chris & Troy.

Time for a potting up into a mix I know has the right pH and is better draining.

Sounds like a solid plan to me, you'll know in a week or so if that worked.

Last year I overwatered, didn't feed enough, and didn't pot up soon enough, lol. Lucky they survived long enough to make it outside :ROFL:

KAOS · Feb 18, 2018

So hard to not overwater. Those wee little leaves starts drooping and in goes the next top up :lol:

All good suggestions. With plants like that, I'd make sure they were fed well. These guys love being fed. In fact, over feed them...yes yes...thats it, Overfeed them...muahahahahah!

I finally got a pic of my Yellow Brain Strain. Got a couple more just germinating now, so this will probably be the one I go with...

Genetikx · Feb 20, 2018

Both of mine, well behind many

That looks like it's splitting already. If so, it'll grow slower initially, but in the end it might produce more. I'd have a backup just in case it grows too slow from having two growth tips so soon.

I had a Moruga like that last year and one of my CPR Red Grenade is split from birth this year also.

Thanks for the tip! I have a couple of seedlings that just popped that I have just in case. I will be a tad bit behind if I go with one of them, but no biggie. I am just looking forward to sampling this pepper.

Yeah, if that one does have two growth tips, a normal plant will catch up and pass it in size in no time.

I'm starting to feel like this one needs a new home, but I don't have any lights that can light up a plant of this size, especially not if placed in a larger container.

Please Help !! LOL..

They both look the same.

Wow, you weren't kidding! Were you actually watering with battery acid like the guys mentioned? Lol. I've never seen that before.
