Hey all! I hope all is well. I got 21 seeds from Attitude 3 days ago. 5 Blue Hash, 5 Cloud 9, 10 8 mile High seedsand 1 Amnesia Haze. I soaked them all but the Amnesia Haze ( I want to be sure I got it right first) in water for about 16 hours then dropped them into damp ph adjusted grodan starter cubes. 2 days later and every single seed is cracked and popping up. I wanna do everything possible to keep this little babies alive!
Your help and advice is appreciated

just dont try to do too much at once. as a new grower i wanted to just 'do something' just back off and let them grow. seedlings are fragile and do not want many changes. dont forget they are just plants like any other plant, they do not require special magic to grow. just ask yourself "would i do this to my tomatoes?"

whenever i start seeds i put them in 8hours of sun and 8hours under the light i veg under. they grow quick and i havent seen any signs of light stress. if they look weak try giving them as much natural sun as possible, they grow stronger with sunlight. but all young seedlings look weak. be sure to immitate wind with forced airflow over the plants (just enough so they wiggle a little) this will develop a strong root/stem system.

well I have them on (not in ) the aero garden and under CFL lighting. A very slight breeze on them and I'm feeling good about this. Friday I pick up my order at the Hydro store. Canna Coco and complete nute program ............I can't believe how expensive it is but I want to kill the problems I can and let the only problems be from lack of experience.

I just did a comparison between MG African Violate, this stuff rocks for walmart level soil. A little stunted to start but soon overtook my happy frog. The comparison ended when they were about even though as my ferret dug the crap out of my happy frog pot. ugh, still stunted.

let me guess, in a corner on a hard surface? something like next to the toilet- the hardest place to clean in the whole house?

ok and what about the little hideouts that have your soles for your shoes...or the keychain youve been missing?

5 of my plants grew and inch or more today! they look strong and green. The others are growing a bit also, just not as vibrant. The grodan cubes still feel moist so a sprinkling of water will be in a day or 2. I am sitting on my hands to keep fron hurting them

one thing I can point out to be a fact is that the seeds that sank to the bottom of the shot glass before being planted are the most healthy .
The others are slower to grow and have a harder time shedding the seed case. I will be sure to take note of this with all seeds in the future

well I transplanted the little things into 4" pots of canna coco with a touch of superthrive and rhizotonic as their little roots were growing out of the grodan cubes.
