Blocking roots in biodegradable jars ?
tiasmaaa
started grow question 5y ago
Can I leave them for another week or so in the biodegradable jars? Or does it risk blocking the roots? I can't imagine what size the roots are yet.

Another week should be fine. After that she will start getting rootbound. Over/underwatering is something you'll have to watch closely.

Sprouting delay. How long do I wait? Are lights on and fans running important while waiting for germinated seeds to sprout? I lightly water the medium.
Germinated autos by paper towel method, & put them in soil 2 days ago. The still haven't sprouted out of the soil. How long should I wait? I'm trying to keep humidity between 60-70% and temperature 20-24C. The LEDS are on 18/6 and the fans are running for the pots. What do I do?

Germination is taking longer than usual even if seeds sprouts
I used the paper towel method and put the seeds in the soil when the white root were longer than 1cm under a plastic bottle for humidity, even if the white root is out the green part is not growing in 3 different seeds. I waited for 2 days now, do I have to worry?

Inside of seed stuck on cotyledon leaves keeping them together
Has anyone ever had the inside of the seed stay on and keep the two cotyledon leaves together? The outer hard shell has come off. I've been spraying it to try and soak it off but it's quite hard. Anyone ever successfully deal with this or will it just pop off on its own?
