Sadly, I killed another HK seed (2 left-gulp). How you ask? Well, due to all my past issues where I got root rot from overwetted starter cubes, I doubled the net pot, which put too much distance between the roots and the nutes. Horrible lesson learned, I popped one more HK 2 days ago. In the...

Great news is that my newest seed starter technique is working. The plant is getting taller, and importantly the leafs are getting bigger, so this morning, I decided to start one of my Blue Berry Cheesecake seeds. Good news aside, the old seedling is neither growing nor dieing, which motivated...

Yesterday I covered the tops of each seedling with a black plastic disc. This morning the old one started turning green again. Hmmmm The new seedling's tap root is already exiting the bottom of the RR, so I moved it into a double 3" net pot. The bottom pot has 1/2" marbles to provide a barrier...

Since the white starter cubes have not worked as I expected, I decided to start one more Hindu Kush, in a moistened Rapid Rooter starter cube, without pre-soaking the seed, but inserting it, which was then inserted into a shot glass then covered in a plastic container to keep moisture in. I also...

I am going to try starting another Hindu Kush, but this time I am back to the Rapid Rooter starter cubes, and going to put it, along with the dry HK seed in a shot glass

The plant in the lower right continues to grow. Alas, the other one has yet to respond

Looks positive. The plant in the lower right is taller and 2nd node leafs beginning to establish

OOPS wrong photos above

Pics or it never happened, right? I don't usually try to start a grow during the summer for the very reasons I am dealing with, but am running really low The heat here, even with the AC running 24/7 is <40% which is not helping the young seedlings 2/3 are barely surviving, the third died due...

I may well try this as nursing the 3 babies is a RPITA Ancient hydro combined with modern technique

Looks like I finally turned the corner. All 3 seedlings are above the sure2grow (S2G) cubes. 2/3 have leafs, the third is a little behind, as 2 days ago I discovered that the tap root wasn't digging into the S2G, so I repositioned it Thinking to start a new thread to put all the failures...

Sad news here, self inflicted as usual. The 3 babies cotyledons were not opening and algae was building since the tote was not covered. I probably added too much chlorine, so I removed them from that water and put them outside where the heat and humidity cooked them, and the leafs on the one...

Being frustrated, but not willing to throw in the towel, I took the lid off the tote yesterday. This morning the nutes are still 'cool', whereas with the lid on, and even HD foil over it to reflect the heat, I had to drain the nutes into a cooler with ice paks every couple hours because they got...

I don't have any idea why the HK seeds are not vigorous, but... Here's a picture of my BBCK seed I dropped in water yesterday morning. The same technique as with the HK seeds! Notice the taproot is already >1/4". So I just checked the 2 newer HK seeds (dropped 7/25!) which are in starter...

As you can imagine, I am frustrated with how slow the recovery is going, AND, the new seeds not popping, so I dropped one of my Blueberry Cheesecake this morning

Good News Bad News The 2 plants are developing new roots 1/2 of the seeds fell over and died, due to the shell not breaking off and the tap root not getting any photons. Dropped another HK seed into the starter cube. 2/2 seems to be SLOWLY popping up

This is funny. Ive been growing for 10 years, I completely leave the tent flaps OPEN for better air exchange. I have a small recirculating fan outside the tent aimed in. Here's a recent grow. Oh and the bud in my Avatar

Im feeling good about the existing 2 recovering, although quite likely their hard beginnings will not allow them to fully develop I should have thought of this from te getgo: I moved the 2 new seedlings (2nd should pop up today) into net pots with proper stone drainage on the bottom. This...

Finally, one 1/2 seeds dropped back on 7/25 has popped out of the starter cube. The other looks likely to make it too 🤓 This morning I redressed the 2 that are barely surviving. The Bright Stones may not be the best choice, so I surrounded them with small ornamental stones, except for the cap

New seeds have yet to break ground, and 2 plants still not making new roots. I decided to throw in the towel with air pump/stones. I inserted my O2Grow 2020, but only using one emitter, which Ive been waiting to use for a couple years now. My question is: what level should the water line be at...
