Okay I might be In trouble!…used 3 shot glasses and a hydrogen water solution to soak 15 seeds (five apiece) for twelve hours… none showed signs of germinating … I transferred them all to gallon ziploc bags (paper towel method)… it’s been it’s my first time germinating and after approximately 30 hours total from shot glass to paper towel it’s been thirty hours… I checked them all no signs of any germination at all should I worry?… if so what should I do? I would be so grateful for the fastest helpful information possible… thanks guys
I don’t have a heat mat and should I inoculate the soil with MYKOS first?
Or should or just plant them?
Get some fox farm happy frog soil, and solo cups. Moisten the soil, and fill the solo cup. Plant the seed directly into the soil (not very deep), spray a little water on it to settle the seed, and stick a baggie over the top to make a little greenhouse. Keep it warm, and it should break ground in about 3 or 4 days. Stick it under your light on low power, and don’t water until dry.
I’d follow what everyone has posted on here and get them in the dirt. I use the same method of germination as @Dexterado and it works very well.
Get the temperature to 78 - 82 F. I get my best results at 80 F or a bit higher.
I’m using a sonlipo spf6000 600w light on veg power(they recommend it for seedlings also… but I have the light appproximatley 3 feet or so above the seeds
I used nutrifiled coco coir 70/30 and I inoculated it with cal mag ( half recommended dose will that work?
Also MYKOS mychorazzae (in the hole directly)… as well as the soil
You should be fine with that.
This my first time I’m super nervous… the last thing I want to do is lose all these expensive seeds in my first grow because I couldn’t germinate them properly…
I’m not sure what everyone else does but with my autos, I start at ¼ normal dose of nutes and work my way up.
Gotta relax and trust the process.
I have the same strategy in mind😇… so should I spray with water only (phd)) until they sprout or should I start feeding them bites or at least cal mag… dot want to give them anything else besides the cal mag and MYKOS/earthworm castings… until I at least see the catalydone leaves
Thanks for the advice bro means the world💪
A little late now but I would have suggested starting with just a couple of seeds to start with. Learn the ropes before going large scale. I only grow four plants at a time and have many times as much dope than I can use or give away.
I wouldn’t give them any water after you initially wet them until the soil is almost dry. I grow in Happy Frog and don’t give mine nutes until week 2.
This is excellent advice
15 for your first time? If all those pop and you dont want to throw any away you will need almost 2000w of light to get them through flower. You mentioned not wanting to waste money on failed seeds, do you have space for 15 plants? Good luck growmie. Go Big or Go Home!!
I have two sonlipo spf6000 600w fixtures in a Mylar sealed 8x8x10 controlled grow room… I plan on adding another right around flower(3-4) weeks… is that enough😳(I’m growing in five gallon fabric pots and coco coir 70/30 mix
