First time poster!!! Thanks to all of posters for spreading the knowledge on how to grow the good herb!!

I ordered seeds from Attitude seed bank and got them within a frickin week!! Plus freebies. All 100% sprouted using the traditional soaking and paper towel method (from House of Seeds) http://www.greenhouseseeds.nl/shop/germination-instructions.html

So far so good but got this whacked one sending it's tail strait up in the air (see pics). Then found this that said I did it all wrong. http://www.amsterdammarijuanaseeds.info/how-to-position-sow-cannabis-seeds-in-soil.html

I guess I got lucky cause some are still did what they were supposed to. Seeds are damn expensive.

What should I do? Any suggestions much appreciated.

Should I dig it up carefully around slightly around seed hear and throw that tail in some dirt??? Or leave it be?

Why did you wait so long.......it may not be viable at this point.

But break open the cube and put the root back in the cube and the leaf part above the cube where the light can hit it....but I'm guessing it won't make it now.

As long as the root tip is white, which it appears to be, it should make it. You may consider spraying the top part of the seedling, to help the seed cover to expand and break out of the shell. The sooner the beginning leafs are exposed to the light, the better.

I thought plants loved reggae...better turn it down some...
UPDATE: just took quick peak before going out and all the sprouts first set of leaves are green already under the T5's. Absolutely amazing genetics and vigor...will post update pics tomorrow.

Hey All,
here is pic of how sprout is doing. So far so good. Think I will be able to transplant soon!

Also carefully transplanted six seedlings started from seeds. The seeds were started 3/10. Amazing fast growth. Seeds were started in rockwool and jiffy pots. I ripped the cubes and peat pots apart very carefully and now decided to put them straight into aero cloner bucket. Pics say it better.

PIcs of todays work, transplants. Don't like rockwool and peat pots. Less medium the better.
I used jiffy pots a couple of grows ago, just not a fan . Not sure which I prefer most but have had good success with the peat pellets or straight in to my soil after paper towel method has been completed. For me anyways I had I tough time removing the Jiffy pot for transplant made a mess of the first one and decided to just buiry the whole pot into my soil .worked ok but I think the roots got a little choked up and could have possibly recovered a better yield.
