If you don't try, you won't succeed.... if you throw it out, it will not grow.... which do you think you should do?! Good luck!

I never put seeds in paper towel. Too risky.

Chances of survival are slim when the taproot is damaged, but still it wouldn't hurt to try.

Roots in the tank of my drip system.
Hi, Is it bad that the roots are hanging all into my tank? If yes, how can I prevent this without Investing in a new system? If no, should I add an airstone/s to provide more oxygen? Or don’t do anything.

When to stop misting seedling? What to look out for before watering normally?
When can seedling root system handle normal watering, NOT misting to absorb moisture through leaves? I want to avoid overwatering. Outdoor grow. I've misted for the first few days, started watering using a turkey baster yesterday + today w. 6.3PH at topsoil and bottom dish.

Purple stems/Advice
I am a new grower and I noticed the stalks/stems on both of my plants are purple. They are clones on week 5, I use FoxFarms ocean forest soil and General Hydroponics FloraSeries along with CALiMAGic for nutrients. Is there anything else that appears to be wrong as well?

Mold between the pots and on the soil's surface, should I be worried ?
So my pots are very close to one another so they can't breathe enough but my space is quite limited and in veg maybe there was not enough extraction. Now that they are in the flowering room they have a little more space but still too cramped. It's just one or 2 pots out of six

I've always gone from root cube directly to 3-gallon pots. I can't compare the difference with transplanting from solo cups because I don't have any experience. Have any of you found a significant advantage to adding an extra transplant? I figure 3-gallon pots aren't THAT big.

Flush to clean roots during veg
Is it recommended to do regular flushes in autoflowers during veg to clean the roots after some days using ferts? Or it is best to flush only two weeks before harvesting time? Thanks!!

B-52 in the first week
Hi there, I'm on my 1 week after germination and was wondering if the B-52 in small doses will help the girls with roots and stamp or is it too dangerous since they are very fragile with nutrients at this stage? also, I'm running my first diary and any tip or comments please? 👊

problems with root washing
it's been almost 6 days since I washed the roots and the pot continues to seem heavy (even touching the ground you can feel it is still wet underneath) Do I keep waiting for it to dry completely? is there any trick to speed up this process?

Friends, help me understand what the problem of the plant is!!
I can not understand that with plants different tips come most people think that the problem is nitrogen! Others say it's zinc or cal-mag! I can't decide how to properly help the plant! I also thought maybe it's too much blowing inside the box!?

Res Changes
Hey, guys don't judge me for this one but when you do res changes in hydro where do you keep your plants in net pots while you scrub down? lol. I have been putting them in a bathtub with cold water but how long will they be ok without airstones etc? I just never thought about it

Root loss shock?
Can I do anything?! I had her in with another seedling for the 1st 14 days and when I went to transplant them into their own pots their roots were completely entwined around each other. I tried to separate them but a good chunk of roots came away. They have both wilted badly!

when to transplant
So, this is the first time I've gradually increased pot size as I feel they need it, instead of planting seedling straight into pots as one does with autos. How long should these girls stay in there pots before they move into 3 gals?
