I’m totally new to growing. I started 2 auto seeds. Day 1 was June 1, and today is June 18. Both seem small to me, maybe 2 inches. The Northern Lights has about 5 tiers of leaves, but the Easy Bud has only rough, curled, deformed leaves at the top. See photo. I am growing outside and I put both plants in the bright sun from day 1. Mostly I kept both domed. The Easy Bud has a nick on its stem from the seed case which just wouldn’t let go.
Can anyone explain why this one is so stunted? Too much light too soon? Or is the damaged stem a factor.
I’m very careful not to overwater.
Thank you.
