You possibly have a nutrient deficiency or "nute lockout" in ganja terms. Try checking your ph & ppm. You may also want to leach or purge the system as well.

yo whats up everyone this is my first indoor grow im in cali, im growing just a random chronic seed just to expirement, i germinated the seed before i threw the soil and im using a floro light with constant light and its in a small closet. ill post up a picture as soon as i find my camera cable. so heres the thing its been in there for 12 days and i still dont see any life, i keep the surface moist by sprayin once or twice a day. why hasnt it sprouted yet!
thanks!

im completely new at this so i was just wondering how to leach my plant???

If you havent seen anything for 12 days you probably have a bad seed.

or you may have put the seed in upside down which takes a lot of energy to try and grow out the bottem and then up to the surface. dig away some of the soil and see if you find the tip trying to surface.

I'm new too, but I'll throw out a hello to all the other new folks. This looks like a good place to call home.

thank you for your help ill go check that right now!

Welcome to our cult!

ok i checked dat shit and it didnt even grow at all, i dug the seed out and all it was was a single root comming out the seed, same way i found it after germination. its that probably because of the soil? im using some vegatable soil i found in my backyard, or is it because not enough water?

It's just a dud seed is all. Try germinating in a wet paper towel. Then put the paper towel in a bag while its still moist. Put this bag in a warm and dark place. For maximum results, hide this bag in your ass.

yea i put it in a paper towel and a root poped out from the bottom but didnt grow since then, so even if u germinated the seed it can still be bad and not sprout?

How far down did you put it into the soil? And was the tap root pointed down?

i put it probably about 1.5in deep and yes the root was pointed down..... should the soil should have been wet?

Yes the soil needs to be moist and you put it wayyy to deep. Only needs to be like 1/4 in down. Like the length of the metal part on a pencil (the eraser holding part).

oh i see....
well ima give it another try, i have a germinated seed planted in a pot outside its been 4 days should i transfer it indoor with constant lighting? is indoor cult faster?

Depends on the weather and climate your growing in.

I germinated 12 seeds thinking they weren't going to grow because I was told that I stored them wrong. I had them in a plastic bag in a drawer for 3 or 4 years. Of those 12 only 8 sprouted. You need to make sure they are pointing the correct direction and should not be more than 1/2 inch deep and yes keep the soil moist. It took several days to see the sprouts emerg from the soil. I kept mine in a mylar lined plastic tote with a florecent grow light on 24/7 and they did great. It was the ph levels that reked havoc on my plants and I'm trying to correct that right now. These are tough plants that grow in hostil environments in the wild but human mistakes can kill them pretty quickly. Good luck!

I just started my first seeds about 3 days ago and was wondering about what i should grow inbc i have a limited budget but want something that works! and how long should i let them germinate before i move them to dirt?

Hey guys. Just joined so I could start a grow journal. You all should go check it out and give me some help . Anyways, great forum, excited to be a member here.
