This is one weird looking plant

[Rayan]

This is white rhino 3rd day after planted from germination in cup of water then paper towel,, today i removed the plastic bag nd fed it with the trio flora plus calmag it was swirling before the feeding,,, about the feeding i did it because every seed becomes this age dies so i said maybe it needs feeding so i did it nd also the feeding chart in this website says after sprouting so.... Anyway i hope this one grows not like every other try nd i liked to share this weird looking swirling leaves

[rockman]

Hope it flourishes for you! 🌱 Not sure if the feeding was really needed... it is still so young. The next set of expanding true leaves should tell you alot. 🌿

You said every seed that reaches that stage dies? What type of lighting do you use? Also how long are your lights on for?

[Rayan]

Yes nd i think i killed this one too before this one i planted two NL i used a two bulbs of 42 watts cfl nd i keep my lights on 24/0 hrs,,, i bought new cfl lights causes a little heat 45 watts 2200 lumens per bulb i bought 15 seeds nd killed 3 so u can tell how am feeling now

Rayan You mentioned a plastic bag... How much volume is provided by said bag? Do you remove it at regular intervals for air exchange? The problem could be damping off. Do they look fuzzy near the soil when they die?

[Daskahn]

Have you a fan? My advice so far.. start in bigger pot(so you don't have to transplant) I've used those lights too... try adding a grow light from Home Depot Picture at bottom.. but you shouldn't be adding nutriants to your plant this early.. specially cus it looks like your using soil that already has it.. also this time when you add seed to your cup of water wait 24 hours tap it.. if the weed sinks place it in dirt.. lightly push it into dirt to where you can barely see the seed this is to help roots grow faster and stronger..(no transplanting)(it's worked in my experience)
also wait till the seedling is starting to grow third set of leaves before you add nutes(nutrients) if the plant is growing real more then two inches tall before new leaves then you probably don't have strong enough lights or they are to far away.. if this fails pm message me and I'll give you a step by step of building a hydro system for around 20$ which in my opinion is far suprior

I pm ed u

Its a regular plastic bag like a sandwich bag u know nd of course i take it off to check on the water nd the plant here's the picture

Ps : i need an expert here if anyone can pm me so we can chat in any app couz this is not working for me

[Daskahn]

You temp is a bit high should be in the 70-80 range for most strains also you bag idea even though I get the concept is probably doing more harm then good.. your trying to rep moisture correct? Your probably blocking to much light

[Rayan]

I read in this website that its ok for seedling a tem 80-85 nd yes the plastic bag is for humidity nd no they dont cover lights i mean this White Rhino is not stretching so its fine,,, do u grow in coco?

[Daskahn]

Also by your picture of your plants I can see a second plant in the background with a really long stim that is a real good sign that there isn't enough light

[Rayan]

Yes thats because they were on a 42 watts nd the lights were faaar as hell but when i changed the lights this current plant wasn't stretching so these r perfect,, here's wat i thought the problem was is when i took off the bag my humidity is low so it died thats one the second thought is i was spraying phd water with calmag nd the third one is the lights so i changed em,,, anyway i dont wana try another seed unless i knew wat went wrong... I wish i have an expert friend so i can chat with i live in Asia nd we use hash here we don't have marijuana thats why

[Daskahn]

I'm in the same boat as you rayan.. wish I had an expert friend to chat with.. only person I knew stopped and refuses to share info

[Rayan]

Lol thats why today i was searching for other websites nd community's to talk to couz i had no luck here nd im trying to grow for like two months now, nd for the ppl who r afraid dont be i live in illegal county does not allow even alcohol thats a small clur anyway if there's anyone pm me plz thank u all

I'm not an expert Rayan. But I had a problem with seeds I bought similar to what you describe. What kind of soil are you putting those rooters into? If the soil has too much nutrients in it that can kill the seedlings.
I use a super sprouter for the rapid rooters, using tap water. Then I put them into coco perlite mix once the roots are sticking out all over the rooter. The coco perlite gets a very weak mix nutrients in water only when needed (meaning I let it dry out quite well).


One of these can really improve your success rate. You can buy them without the heat mat for a lot less money.
Don't give up. People on this forum are willing to share their experiences with you and offer advice. You will figure this out but there will be more issues to come. It's just how it goes. But stay with it and you will get rewarded with your harvest. That will improve each time.
Good Luck.

Ok now ur the man i should talk to couz ur using the same things,,, im using coco plus perlite same as u nd i bought this nd used it on an old seeds they were bad seeds but i didn't use it with nirvana seeds i mean when i germinate with the paper towel two plates method i use the heating pad that came with it https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000H...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Now let me ask u,, first when u put the rooter into the coco u moisten the coco first with plain ph water ? Like u hand water it till u see run off water? Or u just spray it nd if u water till u see run off do u test the run off with ph meter wat does it show u? This step that confused me

[Californiakid]

The same time I germinate the seed I prepare the pot with coco/perlite. I saturate it with seedling strength nutrients. When the rooter is looking like a pin cushion with all the roots sticking out, the pot is moist but more on the dryer side. After I transplant the rooter into the coco mix I water lightly to moisten but not saturate. You are using Cfl's that don't help evaporate much moisture so you need to watch you don't over water. Like I said, I'm not an expert. But this method is working for my kush seeds that I kept killing with my standard methods.
Cheers

ps: I always ph before adding to plants.

I know this thread is old, however, it seems to me he was transplanting to soon. 1st pic looks like a RR plug put into soil. If it was only 3 days from germination, would it have enough roots penetrating the RR plug? Asking because I am new to using the RR plugs and wires Rockwool. Don't really care for Rockwool. Not a fan of the RR plugs for DWC. They seem great for soil.

Happy growing.

I normally just let the sunlight get mine started. Atleast intill the first true leaves. After that i normally plant it in whatever im useing via Dwc or coco coir. I havent lost a seed yet and on my NL auto grow it didnt strech near as bad as my blue wizard

Id say humidity isnt as important for a seedling as much as is it for a clone. As long as you keep the RR plug moist the seeding should take off. I had the tap root on the NL come out the bottom in a day while the sprout took 3 days. Also id say if temps are that high in the tent then inside the bag around the sprout will be a bit hotter. So if you keep useing the bag find a way to drop the temp so inside the bag isnt so hot. Thats just my take on it if your still haveing problem have a great grow and show us them giant nugs when they are done lmao

I never germinate. Just throw my seeds in a 3-5 gal pot and let them sprout. I start giving nutes when they have like 3 sets of leaves and even then only 1/2 strength or even 1/4 strength. I've never put a bag over them either or used a humidity dome you could probably get away without one. The only time I use a dome is for clones. I haven't had a seed not sprout or die on me yet so it's working for me.
