probably me worryin about shit, the single finger leaves will drop off anyway. Ive found out that the mycorrhizae fungi in Mycorrmax Planting compost http://www.pitchcare.com/shop/peat-manu ... mpost.html is a symbiotic fungi that causes no harm at all to the plants & is very beneficial it free`s up nutrients locked in the soil that the plant wouldnt usually get, its also good for the plants roots & increases the uptake of P so its very helpful for rooting & flowering growth

The fungi itself is beneficial to plants...there are some marijuana geared additives that contain it like Pirhana from Advanced Nutrients.

What worries me is that compost mix...I have been unable to find even one marijuana grower using it

even more strange shit (cant half tell im new to this) is it normal for these plants to go from the single finger leaves to 5 fingered, it usually goes 1-3-5 doesnt it, these are going 1-5

Well it usually goes 1, 3 , 5 , 7 , 9 and if left to mature for long enough 11.

But some plants are just weird and do other things...no worries

I've seen some get to like 7 fingers, and then reverse themselves to 5

And I've seen single leaves grow back out after multiple fingers have already grown

I'd go with the Somango...

As for recommendations, there's a shitload of great strains out there. It depends on what you are looking for .

A few questions to ask yourself are : Are you looking for a fruity taste? Or taste doesn't really matter and you are just looking for a wicked cerebral high? Do you want something that flowers early at 9 or 10 weeks, or you don't mind waiting 14 weeks? You gotta also consider the degree of difficulty of growing the particular strain. Some are really fussy and require alot of attention and adjustments etc...they are not ideal for beginner growers.

femenized somango it is... I think ive stumbled over why these are growing quite slowly its either root formation has,nt gone into full swing, the soil temp is to low, or the humidity is to low (20%) either way got the gear on the way to take care of it... heres pics anyways

Are you growing in a cold basement in Antartica or something ? lol

But seriously I'm wondering why you need a plug in heater? Is the room they are in not at normal room temperature? Are your temp fluctuations that bad?

I had a gander at your growlog SykonoT i felt your pain bro i was expecting to lose a good few of these id be gutted.

At moment their in a bedroom (i love their smell in the morning) but i plan on moving them to an attic where it will be considably bigger then 1.2x 1.2x 2m & a lot colder so really im better of getting all the gear to create the right climate for the attic before i do the move if ive got something that controls the climate i dont have to be climbing through the ceiling lol. temp fluctuates from 68F to 88F depending on the weather outside where having pretty unpredicable cold weather whats causing me to run about like an idiot & bringin unwanted attension to why im allways goin upstairs..

I told a few mates i got the shits lol
