Thanks for the advice.

Yep. Dutch Passion Auto Duck. I’ve shared everything with Dutch Passion folks but they’ve done nothing but offer a little advice and sympathy. I kind of expected that they would do right and offer to set me up with some replacement seeds since these have been nearly total duds. Of the 3 seeds in...

Cool tip! Thanks. I guess that gives the cloning hormone a lot more surface area of the root growth cells. I’ll remember that if I ever need to clone again. The entire stem of this runt was maybe 1.5 cm. I did slice a long diagonal cut. Maybe that helped. I’m just so stoked that she has...

Mid 70s. (72-75 F)

Update. Well it’s been nearly a month and Dutch Passion suggested that the root threads may have got damaged or not have developed. So after nearly 30 days (I think) of this seedling that wouldn’t grow over 1.5 cm, I gave up. However I figured why not dig her up and just look at the roots. There...

Done! I thank you and she thanks you. And as I removed the dome, I could swear I heard a small sigh of relief.

New grower here. I germinated my auto in seed starter mix - clear plastic cup with a bigger clear plastic cup as its little greenhouse dome. I have a nice 1" cotyledon and I moved it under my 45W full-spectrum LED grow light. How long before I take the clear plastic dome off of her? BTW...

Thank you sir. I hope one of the two I have working proves productive. But if I need to germinate the third, I will certainly consider bagless. Thanks again.

Her new home for the next 3 months.

Thanks for that worthy bit of experience and wisdom.

Thanks DannyBoy. BTW, Doesn't that seem very small for 5 days in the paper towel step?

I've been germinating an Auto Duck seed using the paper towel method. She was soaked in water for nearly a day (12 hours til she dropped and another 6-8 hours) and then placed in the wet paper towel. Put it all in a ziploc bag and into a covered bowl in a warm dark room. It's been 5 days and...

Thank you JoeBlow... That did cross my mind. If she ever starts growing again, I'll go ahead and transplant her. But it's been over 2 weeks and she hasn't grown a mm.

Relatively speaking, I’m a “man of moderation” dosing for light to medium buzz 4-5 times a week in the afternoons &/or evenings. Weekend power walks usually start off a lot earlier and a bit stronger. My daughters often quote my philosophic mantra, “Moderation in all things... including...

Good Morning... I just posted 3 pics of my rookie setup. If you get a minute, please take a look and share your thoughts. :cool:
