im going through some issues over here with my baby girls. the real problem is ive only grew a few times, 2 plants at a time and im not keen to optimum grow conditions for new borns. i would really appreciate if someone could post ideal conditions for seedlings and week 1-2 plants. temp? humidity? light intensity? and when is the right time to take them out of the humidity dome? what sort of medium have you found to work best for seedlings? and finally.. when do u begin feeding nutes?


thank you so much in advance, any advice/feedback is VERY VERY much appreciated. i have already lost 2 babies (blue cheese, sensi star) and they werent even 3 days old yet :' (


only ones still left are tangerine dream (hasnt sprouted) and caramelo (>1 in.) so any advice on keeping these ones alive is greatly apprecaited!!! PEACE

Remove the dome as soon as seedlings sprout or remove the individual plants out right away. The highly humid environment will kill the plants quickly. Get them under light immediately. Keep the light from floresents very close so they don't stretch. If you transplant into Ocean Forest they won't need any feeding for weeks. I just transplant into fresh soil throughout veg and just give water. Maybe not pushing them as much as I can but it's easy and effective.

so AS SOON as they sprout from the soil take them out of the hum. dome? even less then an inch? thats going to be a problem tho because im using starter plugs and i cant just take the plug out and set it by its self. its in a 6-section starter tray. im using 2 of the sections and one has caramelo (>1in) and another has tangerine dream under soil still (i placed a PINCH of soil over top the hole for the starter plug)

YOu can just mist the one that hasn't sprouted yet periodically. Just enough to keep it moist, don't want to drown the little darlings.
