No!!! Don't do that and why would you want to??? Just keep them moist in the pot and hope they take hold. 2 days isn't really that long and it could take a lil while for it to sprout - mine took bloody long enough! Don't dig about in the pot either. It will upset them. Just leave them planted...

Oh and the white bit that sprouts out is the root (I think it's called the 'tap root'). It doesn't matter which way around you plant it. Seeds are sensed by gravity, so know which way is up and down. It will some how turn and end up in the right direction so don't fret.

2 days isn't long at all. Give them a few more days, I'm sure they are fine. Mine took ages to sprout.

Okay she is 2 weeks, 2 days old. Here are a couple more pictures. I know she is still very young but I hope it's looking okay so far. I'm not sure what the brown spots are, but I hope it's nothing to worry about too much. I'm just awaiting a couple of emergency blankets to cover my...

Hey guys, I notice I have 3 small bits of white root sticking out from the bottom of my plastic cup. Is it time to repot the plants and if so, does it need to be done urgently? Also, is there a rule for a time when to repot? Like is it best to repot at the beginning of the day or the end...

Morning all. Here are some updated pictures. The small baby in the bg is called "White Moscow" which is White Russian x Lowryder. Unfortunately the other Amnesia Lemon seed I had never took hold and died, so I started the White Moscow a couple of days ago. Do you think my Amnesia Lemon needs...

I'm only a newbie but it looks like you could be over-watering them. Also they don't look overly strong with such a long thin stem - any chance you can pull the lights closer? All the best and I'm sure they will perk up.

Amazing how much they can grow in a day. She is still pretty short and stumpy but the leaf growth esp on the new leaves is really quick. I'll get more pics when I repot her tomorrow. Still waiting for the damn CFL's I ordered to come. Been ages! :cuss:

I'm feeling the love chaps! I know she is a slow grower (I put it down to heat + humidity... or lack of!) but hopefully the tortoise will win. :mrgreen: I only have a 80w or so (150w equiv) CFL on it, but I have ordered a a couple of circa 150w CFL in 6400k and a 250w CFL in 2700k so I should...

As per my previous post, here she is. I have noticed that there are 2-3 roots which are right on the edge of the cup (using 2 cup method so can see the roots) and one root has made it's way to the bottom and is poking out of it a little bit! So basically, is she looking okay? Do I need to...

Hey guys. Quick update... She's come on a lot in the last 4-5 days. The first set of leaves are much bigger and the 2nd set are well on their way. I'll get pictures up tonight. Just a quicky. Do I need to be doing anymore at the moment? I'm watering about every 3-4 days when she is dried out...

Just be patient mate. One of them has been over a week and still not sprouted but I think it will do. It's just it got very moist and isn't drying out enough so I have stuck it somewhere very warm and dug some soil off the top (careful not to touch the seed itself or disturb it) because it was...

Yeah they will grow. Mine took almost a week from being germinated to actually shoot up from the ground. Just make sure the seeds aren't too deep and don't dig around in the cups. They won't like that.

Iddy biddy leaves.

Thanks for the reassurance. Surprisingly, the seed that germinated first (a week ago today it sprouted it's taproot) has not yet come above the surface but the one that sprouted it's taproot a day after is now above the ground. I think it's because the other one is maybe too wet, so I've stuck...

It's grown some more during the day. However, one of the leaves it has first sprouted is brown at the end. Any idea what that could be? Thanks in advance.

No probs! Thanks for the words of faith (ba-dam TSH!). I assume you're pretty liberal but I hate to make assumptions as I'm usually wrong. I agree with various different levels of the political spectrum but I'd say I was mainly right wing. Anything which mentions socialism or communism frankly...

Who created the God(s) if there is one though? I’m not an atheist, I’m agnostic. As in, if evidence is shown to me that proves without a doubt there is a higher being then I will accept that. I think religion is pretty outdated. You only have to look at some of the things written in...

Well then, who created ‘The Creator’? Where did they come from? Isn’t the Large Hadron Collidor under the Swiss/French border trying to re-enact the first moments of the ‘Big Bang’ by smashing together a couple of particles at ridiculous speeds? I’ve not read...

Hey good posts mate. A fellow Brit! Where are you from in the UK buddy? Plant looks fantastic! I'm doing it on a shoe string budget (check out my thread near the bottom of the page) but I'd love to have something half as good as what you've produced. :lol: Did you vote yesterday? I was just...
