Hey, so here's my specks


Out of 10 seeds i have 4 healthy looking sprouts
planted in 2 batches of 5
The first batch i germinated in paper towels until all seeds cracked and some rooted, i planted in pure coco coir about an inch deep, after 2 weeks i realized something was terribly wrong, dug them up, none of them grew at all, tried to save them in jiffys, cut my losses and planted more.

2nd batch i tried something completely different, bought a humidity chamber, and made a make shift incubator on top of a radiator. temp kept between 28*C and 33*C ill add a picture.

This method is working great for me, although i have run into a few problems, mostly including humidity, it seems like without the chamber they fall over almost immediately, is this natural?

Oh and one more thing, im currently in China, where no one has ever seen good weed, ever, i mean literally there are just a bunch of Africans with a monopoly on some shit seedy shake. the police even think weed naturally looks like shake, So im desperate for some home grown American bud!
HELP MUCH APPRECIATED!

k i decided to drop the incubator and switch to a simple setup in my grow closet, first time im sleeping away from my babies, but at 15 bux a seed u can understand my unease

- maybe its because i dont have enough pot to smoke

o i got pictures
images- seedlings in makeshift humidity chambers, my grow closet, n my bubble/aeroponic system, drips, mist, n bubbles.
im gonna wait a few more days to make the transfer but im having problems with my oldest seedling, at 8 days old she cant survive 15 minutes out of the humidity pot, shes too tall for the nursury so i have just a jiffy sitting in a pot surrounded by hydrotons and plastic wrap. Anyone got an idea

got the hydro growing, had no clue how to plant in hydrotons with such little net pots, literally only 2 inchs deep, so i removed the peat and pinned the stems between hydrotons, i thinks i transplanted to early but constantly checking the humidity so often was becoming problematic. i have 3 plants in the box, 2 with roots enough to dangle in the water below. something has clogged the pipes of the spray below so only one nozzle is operating, lot of dust accumulating in this closet, should figure a way to filter the intake air.

also i have been doing a lot of reading and research and i realize my light source sucks, especially for this stage, apparently if your using fluorescent bulbs they should as close to the plants as possible, im going to have to look into some better lamps, ill leave the ones i have where they are for extra light in the later growth
