Just make sure that the humidity is very high----spray the inside of the dome and spray the soil a little.
Spray the dome and soil a little
it's fine
----just lightley cover the root with soil up to the seed and spray with a little water---it will straighten itself out in a day or so.it's fine---good job----cover only the tap root with soil.

good and warm from the cfl----you are using a hummidome cover of some sort---right?

Ok-
Now that they have popped we need to take off the humidomes and get the cups under fluorescent light---------I like to fill a spray bottle with 6.3 ph water------THE ONLY WATER THE SEEDLINGS WILL GET OVER THE NEXT 2 WEEKS IS FROM THE SPRAY BOTTLE!!!----If the soil gets a little dry on the top surface we will give it a little spray but just enough to get it moist.---------------You probably will not have to even spray for 5 to 6 days. The key point here is that over-watering is the number 1 reason seedlings fail or fail to perform---with the spray bottle method we are going to use, we will eliminate the chance of over-watering. NO ADDED NUTES FOR THIS FIRST 2 WEEK PERIOD.

They will stretch a little---get them under the flor's as soon as you can----40watt flor can be 1" to 2" from the top of the plant.

OK, done.
One of the diesels popped, so now I have the diesel, 2 powerskunks and 1 gigabud showing.
Diesel and gigabud are fem, powerskunk not.
As you might guess, these are my freebies from an attitude order.

no those put out a little more heat i would say keep it 6-8 inches above the plants
Doc,
OK... so a good friend knows I'm doing this and he's starting a grow as well. I had originally planned on 5 Snow White females but upon further review I decided to give 2 of my SW females to him and add 1 feminized PPP and 1 other seed out of a bag of super dank nugs that a good friend gave me a while back. It was the lone rogue seed in a bag full of fluffy nuggets. I surmise it to be female and the strain is unknown as it's a cross of some sorts. What I do know is that it's some of the best stuff I've ever smoked. I've named it Dankberry in honor.
I'm still doing 5 plants but the batting order has changed: 3 feminized Snow White, 1 feminized PPP, and 1 female(cross your fingers) Dankberry.
The PPP and the Dankberry seeds were put into water at 11:30 EST (USA) tonight. At 11:30 tomorrow night I'll plant them per your instructions. Since your method is faster all of them should be out of the soil within 2 days of one another so we'll be fine.
So there it is,,,,, now you have a plant in this grow that's actually named after you.

i'm surprised
----I have had even 3---4 year seeds germ with this method---one thing you could do befor you give up on the ones you have in the soil is take one or two and dig around the soil a little bit carefully and see if the seed has cracked at all----if it has then they are a really slow germing strain and will just take a little longer--if not--start over--it should only take you 2 or three days to get back in the action
it would be just a little 2 warm to be that close but if that the only light you have try 12" above top of cup---the reason I use low watts is that we can get great growth without alot of stretch. Plants that are close to lights don't have to put thier energy into growing tall and in turn grow lush and fat.
very close guess but to be safe he could try 12"
VERY NICE!!!
SWEET!!!---hope that one pops for ya!!!----"DankBerry"-----I like it!!!.Doc,

Thanks...If you only had 10" from the top of the soil to the 105w cfl would you have height issues? Or can the light be closer as the plant ages and grows?
