im just starting out and i have 4 plants with 4 different results so far. One plant is very healthy at two weeks old with a dark red stem and is very hairy. My second plant is a week old and is healthy but has already fallen over. Third plant sprouted quickly and it looks like its beginning to die with the ends of the leaves turning brown. And the fourth plant just sprouted and is showing signs of browning on the tips of the leaves. im using miracle grow potting soil. Also i have had atleast 5 seeds not sprout. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here is a guide to Germinating Seeds
And here is a guide to getting them From Seed To Sprout

Your temsp could be higher in the low 80's. Stay away from miracle grow soil my friend, if you haven't been warned before you are now. Yeah light specs would be nice.

lookin good, you can see what the MG did to that one though. That was my first mistake and it cost me 6 seedlings. If you are going to use MG use the seed starting one. It won't burn them.

Mericle grows got the slow release nutrients and could be a problem later in the grow too..keep ur temp at 75-78f it would be optimal.


Cheers :)

Just keep them on light and give them water But i also used a miracle grow type of soil when i started i did not have those results but the plants just grow VERY slowly like your plants look bigger than mine and mine have been going for a few weeks....... I just went out and got some more CFLs they seem to work well and the plants seem to love it but i think the soil stunted their growth so i currently am stuck with starting over.....
