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.

After a week I search for the seed and saw that nothing happen (2 seeds) Other species had no problem growing, but all watermelon seeds won’t growing. All seeds were inside a container and inside their original box in the fridge constantly checked. Any advice or guess?

Blätter gucken aus Samen ohne Stamm?
Ich habe 3 Purple Punch Samen gekauft. Eine hat eine es nicht geschafft nach 9 Tagen die Wurzeln aus dem Samen hinaus wachsen zu lassen. Aber diese hat bereits die zwei runden Blätter entwickelt ohne Stamm. Liegt das an der Qualität des Samens oder habe ich etwas nicht beachtet?

Cotyledon leaf falling off an autoflower while seed husk is falling off
Has anyone ever had a cotyledon leaf fall off of an autoflower as the seed husk was coming off? One of mine did from my sweet mango auto. The 2 first "true" leaves are present and seem to be growing. Just wondering if it will be heavily stunted because of this. Converse away :)

How long to wait before giving up on germination?
Still waiting for germination. A part of me worries that I buried the seeds a bit too deep (ended up probably closer to 3/4"-1" deep). However I know these things can take time so trying to be patient. What is the longest you would wait for a seed to sprout before giving up?

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?

How long to keep plastic covers over seedlings
How long does everyone keep the cover on their seedlings before exposing them to the flow of air via fans? Some people remove the covers as soon as they pop. Others keep them on for a couple of weeks. Let's start the conversation :)

3/6 seeds not coming above ground
After two weeks of having seen sprouts coming out of all 6 seeds between paper towels, I've only seen 3 come above ground. Should I wait just a bit longer, or carefully clear away the direct and check what's going on? Maybe they're growing upside down (had it once before)?
