I have some germination probllem, after a day 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.

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 ! 🚀

Yes yes yes, in such sensitive stage less is more,. Take regular lukewarm water to let them germinate Into a glass for up to 24 hours, after theyve soaked put them humid and dark, (toiletpaper, kitchensponge whatever) Roots hate Light. You can look into my diaries, nice pictures how to do it. Seeds are very sensitive if you put such a lot of stuff into the water its to much for them

Hi @CrazyDiamond! Keep it stupid and simple: plain pH'd water (from the tap), a drop of Rhizotonic, and you're good to go. May I ask about your germination environment? What's the water temp? Where do you put your seeds when germinating? Are they 100% protected from any source of light? How long do you leave them in water? Another option would be to put your seeds with some wet paper towel in a sealed plastic bag, in a dark place for 24-48h until the shell open, then plant them delicately in your medium, with the help of a spoon or any small (and clean) tool. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Hello ! Some times it's happens , a root break the seed shell and die. But I think you put many things in you water to germinate , I use the same method but with only tap water and it's work great. I hope it will help you 😁✌️🏼
