well it been 12 days since i planted my germinated widow skunk seeds. i dont think the little guys are gonna make it they look really sick. i think the main problem was ventilation, (or lack there of) i put my six seedlings under five 26w cfl bulbs, so my lighting was probably not adiquate, my soil mix was not good, i used potting soil from walmart and nothing else mixed in it. my seedlings were to deep into their containers and were not able to breath. i over watered my plants. essentially instead of keeping the tops moist i just watered untill it started to drain out of the bottom. so my plants are still alive but are not growing and i wonder how much longer they will make it. to sum it all up this was my first grow AND I REALLY FUCKED IT UP. i have six seeds left and will germinate them soon after doing more research and making some adjustments to my grow room and maybe after buying a good lighting system. anyway if you all have any suggestions i would like to here them. chalk this one up to inexperience and start from scratch. to all the new growers like myself learn from my mistakes and do your research befor jumping in head first! good growing everyone

Live and learn...

I told you if you need help just holler.

How do you plan on germinating those seeds?

in a paper towel, puting it on a plate covering it up witha bowl, and putting it in a cold place.

Unless your plants are totally messed up, like completely gone, there is usually still a chance. Post some pics, I'm sure people on here can help you.

I wouldnt germinate all 6 seeds. I would say do 2 for the second time, because you didnt really gain to much experience from your first time. You will learn alot more your second time, if you finish a grow. And then you will have more seeds to get a nice harvest from.

Just my imput.
