i find if you constantly smoking the same strain you build up a tolerance to it... good to change it up a bit..

I'm the same as you OTB, i can smoke joints almost like cigarettes, been smoking nothing but cheese for over almost 2 years. So you can imagine i am rather excited for one of my plants to turn out fem so i can have some damned alternative buds to smoke 
Been a busy boy, went out and got another airstone, gonna pop some cheese quake x ak48, bought a chicken and some asian beer and bits and pieces, just finished a hash run, looks like a fairly good haul for the time involved, not much A good day so far, although still hungover as a motherfucker.

Dear God,
Please give me a sign letting me know which immigrant taxi driver drove off with my Fred Perry jacket. He's had it for all this time, so he can keep it, I just want his address so I can burn his house down while his family sleeps.
Amen.
Yours faithfully,
Airwave.

Guys I could do with some help please. I've germinated three lots of seeds but can't get them to grow, don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I'm getting 100% germination in 24-36hr using the paper towel method. Using various seeds from Attitude. Then I'm potting them up into a moss peat, vermiculite & perlite mix. The problem is that from there they just don't grow.
The first batch I had in a humidity dome under 200W CFL, temp about 30C. A couple of the seeds made it up the surface in about 6 to 7 days then did nothing, I found they hadn't grown any roots so I thought I'd over-watered them.
Second batch I did the same but less water, after a week they hadn't grown much either, still no roots and looked a bit shrivelled too. I thought maybe they needed more light.
For the third lot I ditched the dome and put the pots directly under the light with a fan to keep the temp about 30C, I kept the soil just moist, not wet and not drying out either. Same result, after about a week they had only just made it to surface and then didn't grow, when I touched them they just fell over - no roots, see pic.
I think the problem must be the medium or the water, I'm using mineral water, see pic of label. I tested the ph of the water, see litmus on the right. Then I tested the ph of of the water after draining through the medium, see litmus on the left - too acidic?
Any ideas what's going wrong?
I'm thinking of changing to normal potting compost and tap water (left to stand for 24hrs). Is this a good idea? I've got some sharp sand to add for drainage if that helps?

dude jus germ them in the damp soil on the window sill ...with no draft,or do ur paper towel thang.
iv lost 3 seed out of hundreds jus pressing them lightly into the damp soil.
wouldnt have the cfl over them,jus to rule that out
ps keep it simple as u can in my opinion dude seems peeps overcomplicate shit

Thanks for the advice but the window sill is a no go, this needs to be kept under lock and key in the grow room if you get my drift.

i have a feeling you may still be overwatering them...
when using soil i water the soil thoroughly.. put the seed in.. and usually do not need to water it again until after it has popped up
also what exactly is that first picture? i know its tiny seedling that have popped .. but what are the covered in? and why are they not in the medium? if that is just germinating you are waiting to long before you put them into your medium IMO...

First pic is the seedlings after about 8 days in the medium, the leaves have made it to the surface by about day 6 but then not opened properly, the white stem is mainly below the surface but there's no roots. I lifted them out of the medium to photograph as I couldn't get a good pic in the pot.
I'm watering them in when I first put the seeds in, but then just giving them a little water (like 10ml or 15ml) every day or two just to keep the medium moist.

If thats the length of the whole seed and root when it breaks soil then i reckon your are not putting them deep enough, I just germinate in paper towels until i get about a cm of root showing then make a hole about an inch and a half then plop it in, cover it and give it a little tap tap taparoo and keep it moist.

why did you pull them out of the medium? why didn't you just leave them for a few more days?
after germinating are you careful when moving them into the medium.. NOT touching or knocking the tap root as this can damage and stunt it..
from seed to seedling is the first and easiest step of this process.. maybe do some more reading..
pulling a seedling out of its medium at day 8 is slightly disruptive... to say the least...
maybe someone else has an idea... but without knowing PRECISELY what you are doing every step of the way its tough to say what you doing wrong.. everything you've said so far sounds normal...

Just woke up. I was the first to crash. Ive got crusty shit round my eyes. Best part of the night was a Mr Whippy ice cream van pulled up. Not had one in almost a decade. There was about 12 people there and everyone was rolling joint after joint. The ak48 got a big thumbs up. Real heady high to begin with, then it creeps up on u.lol
