I had some nirvana white castle that's real slow growing. I think it's a nirvana thing jmvho

I've got a good bit of Nirvana stock and haven't had any problems. Most problems I have seen is because of my own mistakes like using the wrong soil. Or my soils being too wet for example.
Now I just go to lowes and buy some seed starting soil and put it in a 5 gal bucket and add warm water to it and mix it by hand. I grab the soil and sqeeze it, I want the soil to hold it's shape after I sqeeze it but not to have water coming from it, just good moist soil. Also I like to use styrafoam cups now and I put the soil in the cups and I gently press it in the cups but I do not pack it in because I want the roots to spend energy growing up instead of energy trying to penetrate hard compacted soil downward. Use a pencil that has been sharpened and make a hole in the soil to the end of the exposed wood/ paint starts. This makes it uniform instead of having some seed to shallow and some too deep. Drop your seed into the hole and press the hole together but don't smash it, be gentle with her.
Place the cup in an area where she can't dry out but it doesn't have to be light driven either because they seed doesn't know what time of day it is under dirt.
I just planted a couple hundred cups this past Sunday and last night I came home and 3/4 of em were up this morning every last one of em was up. Not a single one still had it's helmet as it was scrapped off in the dirt. I need to count my prescious's because I planted 5 each and some I planted 10. I know I got Nirvana ICE, White Widow, Medusa, Wonder Woman (this is a badass plant), and a couple of others that I can't think of right off hand. But I got mostly Mr Nice in my cups this year. I'm gonna go on a haze and skunk kick this year lol.
But as far as Nirvana goes I have not had a problem with any of their products. I have had some that start so slow like that like an OG Kush I have had for a while now but that was I think due to the soil being hot and it hit some ferts that was in the soil. And the roots were messed up on it. I replanted it in different soil and several months later it took off. (Ya I have patience
I had a KC 45 one time that I planted way to shallow and it didn't shed it's helmet and it was messed up growing. It wanted to grow to one side and only put out leaves on one side, messed up looking. lol anyways I let her be just to see what she would do. After a while she actually started to correct herself and became a very nice plant yielding a decent amount.
Use seed starter soil or soil with no nutes and fine consistent dirt with no sticks, twigs and such in the dirt.
Be patient
Don't fertilize to early and always dilute the ferts to very low levels. I like around 100 or so on the ppm. It doesn't need much when they are young. Just look at her leaves.
Prep the soil correctly and plant at the correct depth.
Don't over water so the soil doesn't develop disease.
Enjoy that herb
