I am really frustrated atm. I spent a fortune on seeds late last year from Herbies. La diva, Think Different, Blue Mammoth etc. I ended up buying a shitload and spending over 300 bucks. Now i have successfully grown both autos and phenos and never had a problem with germinating. I grow in terra canna these days.
But in the last 2 months i have had rotten luck, only 2 of the 30 seeds i have tried to germinate have grown andeven then the growth is tiny. I am running 400W HPS.
Most of my seeds pop but then they die! I leave them be in my propergator for 24-48 hours after i remove them from the cup of distilled water i put them in. I mean you see the tap root and the seed wants to open up...then bang dead seed. I have done everything, did the seed in a cup, paper towel, coir pellates, straight to the soil they will be growing etc. Nothing..it all ends in the same way. I am using distilled water and i even ph'd some tap water at ph of 6..and still the same result..tap root is fine i get excited and then 3 days later dead seed.
What the fuck i am doing wrong? Is it that Herbies seeds are just utter shit? The seeds i bought before this lot all germinated and they were from dope-seeds. I used altitude a few times but i found dope-seeds more consistent and a tad cheaper.
The thing that shits me the most is that the seeds are so fucken damn expensive, like every seed that died was like throwing 16-20 bucks in the bin. I am from Australia so after the conversion from pound they are bloody pricey.
I am gobsmacked..really i am and dont know what to do, any advice? Don't order from herbies and just stick to the vendors that worked?
