sensi J hrer on its way. I dont want these ones to die!

Out of a pack of 10 hog seeds only 2 female and 1 male survived. The other seedlings stretched then died. I used organic potting soil and ph'd water and used these little 2 inch square pots that look perfect for seedlings. Like I said only 3 survived. I recently germed 2 white berry fems and after thier first set of leaves they yellowed, curled and died, but incidentally they had a filled out root system for its size. And again these were in the square pots.
So the point of this thread is pretty much Im paying out the ass for these seeds and I want all of them to live. What else can I do to eliminate this bad luck? I need some thoughts on this one. I took some shitty Dutch passion purple#1 x orange bud seeds and germed them to see what they do. Hell I might put them under the 1khps 12/12 if they do good.
Is there a completely fool proof method of doing this? Is there something Im not doing? Ive always followed the rule of not feeding them until the 5th or 6th node. But why would my seedlings not grow? I'll be sterilizing the clone /seedling area before these seedlings go in there. And the little pots I mentioned were never sanitized and they originated from a college green house. Could that mean anything?

damn i wouldnt want to see my 200 bucks a pack seeds die either.this is just my suggestion, if your dutch passion seedlings dont make it, dont germinate the herrers. just cause they are better seeds doesnt defend their health from an error, whatever it may be. i just killed all of my seedlings as well. i am pretty distraut. the more expensive seeds will give you a more standardized quality end product, but they are still just as vulnerable. again this is just my opinion, your the best judge of your own situation.

you should get some killer bud out of them though if they make it, which i bet they will. your last grow was really nice. how did the white berry smoke turn out? i am about to harvest mine in 1.5 weeks.

good luck with the herrers, they should be absolutely bomb

Your three inch pots probably dry out too quickly if the don't have some kind of humidome. Marijuana has expansive roots, so you might be in too small of containers for starters. What's your light? That's the biggest indication that you're lacking light if plants are stretching. I feel your pain though, the first time I ordered seeds was the first time I used rockwool, and they all died within a week. Didn't know I had to pre-soak

er, sorry. I read the post and was too high to check info on the user before I posted. Feel free to ignore my questions and to view me with disdain.

I forgot to add that I have a 4 tube t5 fixture and I try to get them a few inches away from the bulb heat, which iisnt that far away. I watered them lightly often but deffinately not wet or too dry all the time. And I check them out twice a day when I mist my clones. But I will give maby about a week or 2 to decide to germinate them. I was also considering rw but I have these oasis wedges that have little holes Im assuming its for putting a seed in or directing a clone stem. Any ideas of containers for them? Im going with soil so I was thinking maby brand new beer pong(plastic keg cups) cups and grow them in there. Anyone do this? I also had an unsuccessful seed attempt in styrfoam cups.
