I germ in rapid rooters, under a dome. No heating Pad. I used to use a heating pad, but had really bad problems cloning with one for a while, and getting rid of that fixed everything.

My experience from BF was with g13 haze. 2 of 5 germ, 1 of the pheno's would not flower (yes you read that right), and the other the buds would just not fill out. Ran it through a few different times to see if it was how I was growing it, but no luck. And i always hear the same about BF. But I have also heard good things about some of their strains. heard good about the Violator, and Red dragon. Guess it just takes a little bit extra to find those keepers.

Thanks for the response vilify...the four Barneys that did pop for me are interesting. One of the LSD's is doing very well the other came up much slower and wasn't sure it'd make it but it seems to be doing fine...the exact same thing with the Violator Kush...one doing really well and the other came up slower but seems to be doing OK. I do have to say..the two that are doing real well look amazing for the size they are. My soil PH is perfect.6.2ish.I'm in the 80 deg temp range and just started giving them after almost three weeks FF nutes semi diluted. I played around with my cool tube lowering it as low as my plants could take it before the temps got over 85 deg at which point I raised it back up to about 22" off the plants which seems to be perfect. No need for the inline fan to run so far. There's still one seed thats showing itself with a stem bent over in the peat pot..wondering if that'll make it. It's a weird strain I won't use again if this is the case with them. What for? Their pretty expensive not to get at least half of them to work. this is my first indoor run. I love it!!! but wish I'd have had a better turn out...I'll post some photos this week. I'm wondering if the paper towel method of sprouting is better...I too used the clear covered sprouter tray....seemed ok. wonder what the consensus is about the best way to sprout or is it just hit'n miss depending on the seeds more than the substrate to sprout em'..
edit: btw...how was the LSD smoke..as good as the description says or was that bullshit?

I have used both methods, and its really down to a preference. As long as the seeds dont dry out, neither method is better. IMO.
LSD sticks true to its name. Truly psychedelic, very energetic smoke.

P1010236.jpg P1010237.jpg seeds were put in the sprouting tray May 21..Seedling in peat pot went into small pots May 25...and this is from a few minutes ago June 11...2 1/2 week from seedling. 4 of the 10 Barney's sprouted 2 LSD 2 Kush Violator . The LSD's are on the right...one large and one small...The Kush Violator on the left..one large one small...kinda weird, no? The larger ones do look pretty nice though for less than three weeks old? Wish they were all closer to the same size and as long as I'm wishing...I wish a whole lot more of em' sprouted...grrrr#$%^$@)&...feel kinda ripped off...but better four than nuttin'...Will I use 'Tude again? Thinkin' 'bout it...not sure..
Then there's one in the sprouter on the far right bottom of the tray kinda struggling to come up but I don't think she'll make it

and if she does she'll be so far behind the others not sure what I'd do with her...
I've had my cool tube on 24 hours a day..average 80-85 deg temp without having to use the inline fan ...yet...oscillating fanz been going...used FF nutes twice so far the last two waterings and that really pushed em' up I think...the light is 22" above the larger plants...soil is 6.2(ish). Think I'll transplant into pots maybe twice the size they're in next or whatever they sell at HD thats a size up from these.....any suggestions for this noob?
Whatcha think? It's my first indoor grow..
EDIT: The humidity levels been between 45%-53% just about all the time...I turn on a humidifier occasionally when it gets lower than 45%...Don't look at the white hydrometer on the left...I gotta toss it...it doesn't work right but the black one on top of the plants works nicely...I used it in my ball jars when the herb I grew outdoors last year was curing...
Last photo at the bottom was when I was first adjusting things 2-3 weeks ago...I ended up with the light about 16" over the seedings..

Plants look amazing. That room has some potential as well.

yep nice grow area about like the one i am building now but would advise to mount that ballast on the wall by your timer,don't want any moisture or water spray getting on it.And another poor Barney's germ rate huh? doesn't surprise me.Get ya some TGA or Soma beans won't have that problem.I like greenhouse myself but people seem to sling a lot of shit about them too

Glad to see you are having some success. I have no complaints (knocking on wood) about Barneys Farm or 'Tude. I ordered a 5 pack of Amnesia Lemon, and got two freebies. An auto-flower from Delicious seeds called La Musa and a World of seeds Fem called Madness. Since I am new to this, I figured to grow my two freebies and two of the Amnesia Lemons. I received them on May 21. On May 23 both Amnesia Lemons popped and I put them along with the La Musa in Rockwool and put them in a humidity dome under a T5. The next day the madness seed popped and I did the same thing. On May 25, the La Musa and both Amnesia Lemons sprouted with root protruding through the bottom of the rockwool cube and I put them in my DWC set-up.

All 4 are doing great and any issues I have had I attribute to my own inexperience rather than the seeds or the seedbank I purchased them from.

Here are a few pics:

Day 17 from Seed 004.jpg Day 17 from Seed 007.jpg Day 17 from Seed 013.jpg Day 17 from Seed 021.jpg

If I had been perusing this site prior to ordering, I may have avoided Barneys completely. I've read quite a few people have issues with them, but I also tried to pick out a strain that breeder indicated was easy to grow, while seeking a flavor I wanted to own. So far I am 4 for 4 and have 3 AL seeds left for future use.

I will most certainly order from Attitude again. Jodie provided excellent custy servy if you ask me. Timely responses to my questions and I found the tracking to be on point (even USPS had current updates after watching my package sit in NYC for a week).

Bottom line for me: Attitude will have my repeat business.
I purchased 11 kali mist and received 3 freebees: powerkush, white widow, original amnesia.
I've got 9 of the 11 kalis growing as well as the ww and the amn. 2 kalis and the pk didn't make it...but this is my first grow, so I'm quite happy. All the babies are doing superb!!!!
Shipping was discreet and the shirt is quality.
