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.

Benefic or malefic ? -Root affected look whiter -We don't use any organic nutrient, but black carpet used in our last soil-coco session. H2O2 and/or water submersion look to "kill" it, but if it's a benefic "mold", we can let them alive

I used a three gallon pot and filled it, with moist soil, to around 70% capacity. Would this soil be enough for a single Royal Gorilla Auto or Should I add more soil? If the answer is positive then how should I go about it? Any help is greatly appreciated since I am a total noob.

Hydroponic Roots Question
okay, thanks in advance! How long does it take for the roots to grow out of rockwool & into the water? I used shorter cubes this time. Does the bubbling water ever reach the rockwool, or just a level to reach the roots?

From clones.. A few weeks in, plant on bottom right doesn't appear to be rooting and is wilting.
At a glance, does anyone have any advice for this grow? I am using miracle grow performance organics for soil, two full spectrum 30w LEDs, grow tent is 3x3x10-12. The plant on the bottom right does not seem to be rooting. The rest to my eyes look okay, but wanted advice.

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?

Honey for root growth.
Wondering if anyone has ever used honey to promote rooting when planting germinated (cracked) seeds. Read that honey helps as a natural root enhancer. Only tried once so far as a test but seems not to hurt the seed, if dont do anything else. Wondering if anyone else does this?

ID this pest - bulb mite?
Trouble in paradise. Issues with new growth on a few plants in my 2nd tent. Rather suddenly. Past experience lead me to suspect a pest eating my roots (no, not a deficiency). Checked soil. Bingo. Bulb mite? Best way to attack issue? I have 3 weeks before these go outdoors. Neem?

Why should the tap root grow for some days before potting?
Not a problem, but I'm eager to learn: Most tutorials recommend to let the tap root grow to about 2.5 cm before potting. Does anybody have a rationale for that? To me this sounds counter-productive (light protection for roots, correct orientation of seed). What am I missing?
