Please judge my first successful attempt

This thing has put up with my overwatering and 4 days of 8 percent humidity before I slightly understood environmental control along with a few other problems that arose. At 6 weeks how does she look? She put up with a lot so far. Next one will be tons better.

Not trying to be a dick, but this is hardly a successful attempt.
Your plant has a problem........it looks like it's about 4 days old.
Good luck.
I knew it was bad but damn. Well what should I do with it, its got crystals on the leaves and smells kinda dank. Should I let it go?

Just leave it vegging will get better, what strain is it,what lights you using for 6 weeks old it's small so definitely an issue some where.
More info will help.

O jeez, yea my plant is not doing great. I germed it in rockwool ( i know never again) thinking I would start with an aeroponic system, ya know shoot for the stars. Well the rokwool I had was trash which has been replaced, but I didnt understand at the point how to keep the rockwool moist without overwatering, and the rockwool being bad I just transplanted it to soil. Along with the other stuff I mentioned in the first post this plant nearly died liek 3 times wilitng and shit. ai am using a fixture with2 qb 96 elite v2s but only one is truly being utilized but my next grow will have 5 or 6 plants soit wont feel lika waste at that point, this was me just kinda testing the waters. But ya thank you you made me feel better bout lil mary and gave me a visual que on what to look for after 20 days.

No worries we all in the same boat always learning something new, I have just started my first organic grow. In all honesty never done organics before so am learning as I go as I know a lot less than I thought. When did you transplant from rockwool to soil as if only done recently will take time to root properly and I would go easy with nutes maybe every other watering.
There are many more experienced growers on here with good advice, but sometimes you end up with information overload and can feel lost. I'd say give it another week or so and there should be some growth.

When you say germinated it in rock wool was that straight from seed in to the rock wool. Personally when I am germinating seeds I put them in a glass of water cling film the top and put it somewhere dark and warm for a few days then when she splits and has a decent amount of root showing I transplant it straight in to a peat and purlite mix and keep it damp til she shows herself then will water for first week or so with out feed then if using nutes/chems I would do at half strength.

Yup straight to rock therock rool in a seed starting tray with a humidity dome and heat pad combo. I read about the water cup method but fear drowning my seed. The seed can really just be submerged in water and not die?

There are no crystals on your plant except for maybe salt crystals from splashed nutrient water. The only dankness coming from that plant would be death and decay. You don't get THC crystals and Dankness until you're well into flower, and you're not even out of seedling stage.

You say you plan to plant 5 or 6 plants next. Unless you have access to a lot of seeds, I have a better suggestion. Buy a packet of tomato seeds, plant 6 of them, and try to get them to grow to a foot tall. Once you can successfully grow a tomato plant to 1 foot tall without issues, then go back to cannabis.

And learn about horticulture in general. Cannabis isn't magical in regards to how it grows. Learn how to grow plants, and you'll learn how to grow Cannabis. Once you can just grow normal plants, then start focusing on maximizing growth and output and learning the peculiarities inherent in Cannabis cultivation.

I've always germinated that way never had issues some put it between damp tissue and cover it and some throw it straight in a pot it varies as each to there own as they say.

Im gonna try that method next time as Ive come to realize the harderish nature of hydro/aeroponics and my plant smells dank as my initial fear was dank was grown not in soil. Don't get me wrong 30 percent increase in yield sounds amazing but apparently I am unable to even achieve a yield at this point lol.

Err, I can afford a few mistakes seeing as you can buy seeds off the internet and I still habe like 20 left. I'd rather just learn to grow weed, maybe I'll buy some CBD weed and use those seeds for my next one cause you do have a mild point.

Sure thing man, if you have the seeds. But at least consider just learning how to grow plants in general. You'll learn more about plants, which is good. You'll learn how to grow your own food, which is good. Your friends and family will be impressed by your veggies. If you're not in a legal growing state, you'll have a cover story for why you buy so much soil and growing supplies and have such a peculiar usage cycle on your electric bill.

Those look pretty, I am tempted to start over but I am gonna see what this lil thing can do.
Look, you really should probably start over, unless you meant 6 days not 6 weeks.
Start in a solo cup
Use good soil
Don't saturate the soil, seedlings don't need much water.
Make sure you keep temperatures at *least in the mid 70's
what kind of lights are you using? Without decent lights you won't grow anything worth growing
At 6 weeks your plant shouldn't be but a couple weeks away from flowering. Your plant is still a seedling.
*With HID lights you want mid 70 canopy temps, I run mine under LEDs and run about 81-82 degree canopy temps.

Nah, I got a med card and live in a legal state so thats not an issue for me. I feel I finally have a grasp on it where if I was here when I started this one I would've done better. Excited for my next grow as my c02 tank is otw.

Still got a couple loose ends before I can start my true grow. If this thing vegs and grows and corrects the mistakes I made and gives me at least one ounce it'll be worth it.

I'd start again personally, I don't know what you have done but it's far from ideal, these were soaked/started 1st of August and went into flower on the 27th of August.

What substrate, nutrient etc are you using, something isn't right?
