I just noticed today that these sprouted out of my other pot that's already growing. I used Fox farm, earthworm castings has bat guano in it and it's growing weeds it looks like. anybody know what could cause this and why? Also check out my previous thread I planted a seed I got from I love growing marijuana and it looks like peppers somebody said???

First one is weed. Other two do look like pepper sprouts.
Cause a seed likely fell off a previous harvest . if indoors, rodelization likely a feminized seeds. If outdoors and dep, who knows what the donor pollen was.

Yea they're indoor all in same tent, I just removed the plant and plucking the other sprouts. Thanks that really helped. Would you happen to know if the pot is still fine that's growing with the little pepper sprouts coming out of it it didn't ruin it? And also I don't want to waste the soil I'm just going to pluck that pepper the big one I thought was cannabis and reuse the soil, would that be an issue?

Yeah it probably is fine to grow. But if it's feminized there is a likely hood of it throwing bananas if stressed. Your soil is not too hot for sprouts, if you're confident you flushed at the end of last run and no sick plants it should be fine with some amendments.

I don’t think you have too many issues. You just sound a bit nervous about your setup because of these unexpected things.

You ‘soil’ looks dry in the photos and looks like a bark type potting mix with perlite. Outside seed gets into these mixes and guano probably contains seeds of stuff bats ate?

But I think that’s neither here nor there as your soil is germinating seeds so it must be kind of ok. And just plucking out these hitchhikers is the answer.

You can reuse your soil if you know how to feed it and keep it healthy. Dry = death with soil microbial stuff. So dry bark like shit in a bag really isn’t soil.

I always found issues with bagged soil mixes and now just use coco with organic tomato liquid food for indoor. Sometimes I add perlite but I don’t like the dust off the shit.

Only time I do soil is outdoor when I can do some composting.

my advice if you want to reuse your bought soil make a compost pile (if you can) and mix it in. Learn how to pile and turn organic material over time and things get real easy.

I appreciate the info and I can send or attach a picture of the soil I'm using and I added some earthworm castings and some perlite. I know it looks dry on top but an inch down not even is pretty wet I'm not really sure how much water to be giving them they germinated on 2/10 planted them about a week after that. So I'm unsure on how often to water and how much because I've screwed up in the past, they're in 5 gallon buckets and ones in like a three gallon. And they're all supposed to be White widow autoflowers. Thanks for the feedback hope to hear back from you man.

By the way I did add like half peat moss to soil in 2 of the buckets. One is straight Fox farm no peat moss. Wasn't sure if it made a difference.
