New Grow Room, First Grow

Day 6

3/4 seeds didn't sprout. I'm currently germinating 2 more thc bomb and am going to let them germinate a bit extra to get a bigger tap root. My 1 plant is doing pretty well. I will also be transplanting the 4 clones into soil next week to see if they take at all. There hasn't been any new growth, but they haven't completely died and there is SOME root growth so we'll see.

Here's the 1 survivor:

my 1 baby is doing very well. I will be transplanting it to a bigger pot the first week of October.

Day 11

Plant is looking very healthy! I just purchased some root riot starter cubes so once they arrive I will be starting another batch of seeds (all of the others I've attempted to germinate in paper towels have not produced.

The 4 clones I took from my last grow are not dying, but aren't growing either. All of them have a good amount of roots growing from the rockwool, but not really any new vegetative growth. I've moved them into soil to see if that helps.

good luck. tin foil isn't a well suited option but I hope your grow goes well.

Thanks. I realize that tin foil isn't ideal, but I'm on a really tight budget and it was either 79 cents for tin foil or 10 bucks+ for the reflective aluminum sheet stuff. Hopefully my space is small enough and well ventilated enough that it won't matter too much.

Either bring down your lights or bring up your plants. CFL's are most effective between 1"-4". For your roots, use 1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide per gallon of water.

The lights are actually about 1" above the top of my humidity dome right now. I will be using Bio-root to help with root growth. I'll be posting an updated picture tonight once I transfer my sole survivor to his new pot. I also contacted the company I got my seeds from because only 1 out of 10 seeds they sent me would even germinate (most didn't even show a taproot after soaking in paper towels, soaking for 24 hours in a shot glass, or even planted straight into root riot cubes). They are sending me some replacement seeds. I think the main problem was the seeds looked very immature. They are all a ligh tan color instead of the darker color they should be. Here's a pic.

Just finished transplanting to my big pot. I am also going to be starting the remainder of my thc bomb seeds today in root riot cubes. If these don't take, I'll try again once my new seeds are shipped. FYI, I got my seeds from www.marijuana-seeds.nl. Their customer service has been really great, and when I explained that the seeds I recieved seemed to be very immature and weren't germinating, they immediately said they would be sending replacement seeds. So, the jury is still out on their quality. Hopefully I just got a bad batch because I've heard good things about them.

Day 15

2 more sprouted seedlings. Upon reccomendation, I used the root riot cubes to germinate the seeds and they work FANTASTIC! It's only been 2 days and both seeds have already sprouted. I also gave the bigger plant it's first dose of Bio-root today. We'll see how she (hopefully) reacts.
