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.

answered grow question 5y ago
Another week should be fine. After that she will start getting rootbound. Over/underwatering is something you'll have to watch closely.

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?

Is she a write-off?
Hey guys, my GSC seedling is about a week old. She had some problems getting rid of her seed head, and I managed to fully remove the seed coating and membrane just over 24hrs ago. Is she a write-off? It’s not looking too good

How long to pop for soil germination?
For those that plant straight into the soil. How long does it typically take to pop and when do you decide that a seed has failed and either plant another or pull that pot from the grow area?

Mulch layer on Seeds
Does anyone use rice hulls as a mulch? I’m trying to follow the build a soil way & he uses a mulch layer even on his seeds. I’m too scared to try that since I’m new unless any of you have had success while doing this. Any pointers will help me out a lot.

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 :)

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?

Does the grow go slow or I am being paranoid?
Is it me or the plant is growing too slow? The germination also doesn't go smooth. In average 2 hygrometers show 27 C / 50 humidity, the LED lamp is 41 cm exactly from the tip of the plant.

Folded Coly Leaves, No Seed.
My “coly” leaves are folded shut, almost like a duck bill, no seed, and I’m able to gently separate the leaves apart, but it “snaps” right back down. Should I leave it alone and hope for it to grow out of it? Or should I intervene, and how so?

Do we need intermediate Transplants?
When planting seeds directly to soil, Is it necessary to re-pot them into medium-sized containers... or does it make any sense to go directly to larger, final pot?
