Hi, virgin grower here in need of serious tutoring!! Have BCNL Bloombox up & running ($5500 in the hole). Recently germinated 8 Jack Flash seeds...got them sprouted & under light in clone dome. After about 10 days began venting lid off dome to "harden" the babes...they died within 8 hrs. OK, live & learn... called BCNL (excellent tech support but you never get the same answer twice!!LOL) was told I should've just planted in 3" rockwool & left in dome for a few weeks. Skip ahead to today.... I have 8 Maple Leaf Indica babies that sprouted 2 days ago & went under lights in the dome yesterday. I can see about an inch of a root growing out of the rock wool of a few of them & they're looking good....T 88F.... H 88% Besides being patient & making sure temp & humidity stay good, what should I be planning for. I do not want to screw this up again since these seeds cost around $200 bucks & I'll be growing dirt weed if this fails. PLEASE can someone mentor me on this journey?!?!?!?! Any & all help is greatly appreciated

ok so no responses or anything but I think I'm still doing ok with my babies. Checked them this morning & they're holding at T87F & H 88% so I'm happy....some of the stems are turning a purple color. My gut is telling me just keep lifting that lid a few times a day & let them do their thing. Am thinking I should wait until they get a few sets of true leaves before I try to do anything else with them assumming they don't get so tall they hit the dome lid. The dome is creating so much moisture I haven't had to water . Have read on here that babies can go their first 2 to 3 weeks without nutes so that makes me happy because those nutes make me nervous!! LOL Also, should my babies be under constant lite or should they be under veg lite? I believe the machine has them under 18/6 like veg. They're thriving so I guess they're ok, LOL Sure would be nice to have some feedback....Peace

Hmmm putting my experienced hands on a virgin cherry seems like it would be a lot more appealing than just answering some questions. what a let down.

What are you doing with a humidity dome on seed sprouts? Those two don't go together, you don't need a dome at all. Your problem is most likely that you either fertilized (you shouldn't for a month) or you overwatered them so much you drowned them to death.

Those are guesses, because so far I haven't heard what you did that killed them but the dome is wrong don't use it again only for clones.

oh honey to start, your paying WAY too much so dont ever buy seeds from where ever your getting them again, go to dope-seeds.com thats where i get my seeds they have all the best farms in amsterdam there for guarenteed best prices you can even get 5 FEMENIZED seeds for around 40 bucks or less depending on the strain but all prices are in Great British Pounds so go to xe.com to convert that to american dollars. next he's right you dont need any kind of chamber just a simple grow space, your lights will make it the right temp for your plant trust me. now he could be right about the nutrients so im gonna tell you how to not over fert. for the first 3-4 weeks of life do NOT give anything but distilled water. once they r 3-4 weeks old they will start to need veg nutes so go to home depot and get miracle gro all purpose NURSERY SELECT if you cant get that than look for another 20-20-20 formula (it will say 20-20-20 on the box somewhere.) water just as the instructions for indoor plants says. also go to greenmanspage.com and read ten biggest mistakes growers make it really helped me when i got started, if you have any more Q's just post and ill keep my eye out for you

GOOD LUCK!!

Lol...can't say I feel the same on the virgin territory but am happy to have an ear nonetheless, LOL According to BCNL this is how it's done...crack the seeds in paper towel & a lil water....plant seeds about 1/2" down into ph balanced pre-soaked 1" rockwool then place in clone dome in dark warm location until sprouts appear. Once seeds sprout then you place the entire dome under the lite on a tray that sits maybe 12" from the lite....this creates a greenhouse type environment in the clone dome. I haven't watered these or the first batch nor have I fertilized. So you are saying these 4 day old babies should be in what type environment? Have you ever grown in Bloombox or might you know someone who has? This is my first grow & I REALLY don't want to mess this up!!!

Thanks Pink...these seeds came from Sensi over in Amsterdam that's why they cost so darn much & not feminised seeds either, LOL Just didn't want to mail order or grow this dirt weed we have around here. OK, so where should I have my babies? They seem to be thriving but please do tell me the rationale behind taking them out of the dome? They're protected & moist...why is that a problem? Also they have a shield to keep the leaves from burning... I'm confused now but I will do what needs to be done...are you familiar with BCNL bloombox? Thanks again for your response ... really do appreciate it!!!

So far so good as far as I can tell....all 8 of my babies are still alive with roots showing out bottom of rockwool & 1/2 are putting on 2nd set of "true" leaves. This is after 4 days under the lite... Am assuming I need to wait until I have lots of roots to plant in 3" rockwool? Who knew gardening could be so nerve racking, LOL?

lol yes it is nerve racking the first couple go-rounds but i have grown long enough to know that if anything the dome will just make a prime environment for fungi, actually thats how you grow shrooms lol in a dome with humidity because they r a fungus really. its good your babies r doing great im hoping to see more female growers out there like u, sometime i feel like the only one ha ha. since your babies are sprouted you can plant them in a 6" potter, i would add some peat moss and bark/charcoal to the rockwool mixture for better nutrient retention.

Good Luck Babe!

I dont have the BCNL but something simliar. It seems like you have to learn the system as much as you do the growing ins and outs. Maybe you should have started with the bagseeds and done trial by error?
