Hi there,

Put 2 Fem'd hindu kush seeds into root riot cubes and placed in a prop in a warm dark place on monday night.

Looked at them this morning and one of them has popped the surface except its the tap root thats grown up out of the cube about 1 inch or so!

he seed appears to have 'dug' down into the cube further as I cant see it, just the root.

I am thinking that now is the time to get it under some mild light to try to correct it?

I teared a piece of the root riot cube and gently pressed it onto the root to cover it again - now the tap root is led parallel on the surface of the rooto riot.

Does anyone know how I can help alvage this little girl??

All advice welcome!

Thanks.

This same thing happended to me, but it was in soil... i noticed it, so i just dug around the seed a bit, and used a pair of tweezers to lightly flip it over.. the seed had been shedded and the first two set of leaves were completely yellow... it's still alive and well, leaves turned from yellow to green the next day..
