My tent is HomeBoxAmbient 120×120×200. Lights are 5 chip China LEDs, 100W power consumption each. I use ultrasonic humidifier to keep humidity at 55-68%. I gonna grow 9 plats. Six of them already in. Unfortunately I've got some germinating issues with BCN PowerPlant and BlueDream'matic. Waiting for 2 BCN and 1 BlueDream to sprout to put them in. I feed my plants dayly but not with all those nutrients at once. The week sicle is: Day 1- BioRhizotonic & BioVega, VoodooJuise, Tarantula, Piranah, DiamondNectar. Day 2- B-52, Proots, Thriver, VoodooJuise, Tarantula, Piranah. Day 3- VoodooJuise, Tarantula, Piranah, DiamondNectar. Day 4, 5, 6- repit the sicle. Day 7- dry out.
I have some germination probllem, after few days in glass of RO water pH 6.8 with few drops of BioRhizotonic, VoodooJuies, Tarantula & B-52, the seeds get opened, so you can see the white tip of root starting to pomp out, but its doesen't grow any farther this stage and start rot
Well GreenCrack#1 and SantaMartaHaze#2 looking good. All the rest seams like stun. Aspesialy SantaMartaHaze#1. And i wonder why? Same soil, same conditions, same nutrient, same doseage... The only reasons i can tell: not stable genetics and old stock seeds...
Feeding dayly, 6 days a week, with all those nutrients at once. BioRHIZOTONIC rises the pH dramaticaly, - 4ml/l from 6.6 to 8.2. But BioVega lows the pH dramaticaly as well, - 1ml/l from 8.2 to 6.7. Than Acti-Vera lows the pH a bit, - 4ml/l from 6.7 to 6.5 so was first week. Now at second week i needed to rise the pH of solution cause it gets to low - 5.8. I use GHE pH UP cause i've heard its ok for organics and microbes. I've start to use foliar spray: 3ml/l BioRhizotonic, 5ml/l Acti-Vera, 1ml/l VoodooJuies, 1ml/l Tarantula, 1ml/l DiamondNectar. After adding all this nuts i've got 7.1pH, wich is to high. I use as pH lower balsamic vinegar becouse it has some fructose in it - 0.25ml/l from 7.1 lows to 6.5. As well once a week i add a half teaspoon of honey per 1liter of the feeding solution to feed the microbes.
Finaly i found the true reason for my stuning plants. Sorry for to blame the breaders for unstable genetics... Nobudys fault but mine! I use resiceled soil and the pots was standing outside under the rain for a few months one on another. The upper pots get flushed correctly, but those wich was under, get the doble portion of old nutrients... I am such an...😳

Hey there @CrazyDiamond. This question is still open so I take you are wanting more information? I see the BCNPowerPlant#2 seedling and its brown tipped taproot that are referencing. Im the majority of these situations where the seedling succeeds to break and the taproot is on its way out failure is caused by the environment as apposed to genetics. It looks highly probable than an environmental condition caused this seedling to not survive after breaking free. This could be many things, however given that your other seeds split just fine I will focus on just a few possibilities that are likely. Most likely scenario is that light was able to reach the taproot and inhibit its growth. Second most likely scenario is a change in temperature that shocked this little guy while it was breaking out. It appears you are using paper towels to germinate - I would highly recommend germinating directly into the soil to increase chances of success vastly. Even little seedlings have a directional sense called Geotropism and can find which way is down just fine! Hope I helped resolve your questions CrazyDiamond! Feel free to ask me anything else you had in mind! 😎
Personally I think the issue you may be having is a very simple one and I'm happy to help. Firstly it's important to note that Cannabis prefers a PH in between 5.5 and 6.5. (Though you really want to swing for 5.8 - 6.2 for your PH). The best way to germinate seeds is ideally the way nature intended it to be. You want to replicate the circumstances for which seed germination happens in nature. Seeds typically germinate in nature by being dropped off the plant naturally or being placed in the an area by animals doing natures work for us. The conditions that the seeds normally germinate in piles of leaves on the ground. The environment that this takes place in is one of great humidity and darkness..... most importantly to note.... no nutrients/soil. Just regular water typically derived from humidity. The best way most people replicate this is a dark Tupperware container with an air tight lid that has a moist paper towel in it to simulate the conditions of wet leaves on a forest floor. Once the seeds germinate in that environment it is then important to gently place them in a pot with soil very gently as to simulate what would happen in nature where the plant would slowly root itself in the soil/leaf pile and reach up towards the light breaking. Granted there are other methods for doing this that are much more 'cultivar' if you will, but we aren't interested in being fancy... just getting the job done and doing it in a way the plant is going to understand whats going on.
the rhiz raises the PH and the nutes have some sort of sugars in them which makes the bacteria come, that plus the light which is really bad for the early germination means they pop but get taken over by the bacteria... germination is stressful ! 🚀
I've overwatered a bit GreenCrack#1 and SantaMartaHaze#2. So it slowed a bit its growth. Now they dry out till the weekend. As well i gonna buy 2 chip flood LED lights 100w 2900K each to add it for more stretch and flowering. BCNPowerPlant#1 realy rocks!!! She's twice biger than BlueDream'matic and little bit biger than GreenCrack#1 but a bit shorter 12cm tall.
Two 100w LED 2900K lamps was added. So now they get 700w total. GreenCrack#1 are the champoin! Nice vigor growth with no issues. Very thick stalk, stems and leafs,multy branching. GreenCrack#2 just twice a little than #1 and has some magnesium dificiency as well as DurbanPoison and SantaMartaHaze#3(slightly). I gave them some mineral waer with high magnesium content and spray them with it, but it still not anough. I'll need to buy BioBizz Alg-a-Mic to solve this problem. Girls start to stetch up and was tied down to expose branches tops to the light. Slightly manecured bottom leafs and small shots. They start to show a female sexual characteristics.
The down side of RO water, it's lack of microelements. So the plants start to show some trace elements deficiency. I've detect it as a manganese deficiency. To solve the prodlem i bought CannaTraceMix.
