Lights and germination
MrsGreen_98
started grow question 5y ago
Do I keep the lights on during germination?? The seed has been in ph balanced water for 24hours. Planted seed directly into palgron lightmix soil with plastic bottle top over seed to creat moisture dome.

No, Keep it dark until you see the seed pop out.

Effect of cold temps during seedling stage?
Anyone have any idea how cold temps would affect my growth this early? I tossed my 3 day old seedlings into their pots (started in a Jiffy pellet), and the temp went from 70 to 60 and stayed that way ever since... Thanks!

#8 Has a Twin
#8 of the phenotype hunt has twin seedlings. Has anyone had experience on growing out in a larger than normal pot? I will be sure to get a cut of each one. Curios about variances in a single seed.

Any chance of survival?
I had a plant that wasn't sprouting so I dig around and found a VERY thin root coming out of it, 1st picture. I thought it was damping off, but I still buried her. 2nd pic is from yesterday (2 days after the first) and the 3rd is from today. Is there a chance she's still alive?

Stem damage? Or just dried husk stuck on stem?
Does the husk or material on plant 2 look like it is damage on the stem to you or is it just dried seed husk stuck there? I tried to be as careful as I could removing the seed shell that was still partially closed over the leaves that were fighting to open.

Cloning issues; inconsistency, wilting
Cloning newb here. I'm trying to root in soil, with a dome and misting intermittently. Some of the clones are doing okay, some are doing not so well (drooping, etc) and a couple are wilting and dying. Any idea what may be causing the inconsistency/failures?
