Ive been trying different methods of germing and growing seedlings and recently lost alot of my last batch. so learn from my mistakes and dont do what i did.
So my first mistake was putting the light way too far. for a few days the seedlings were in my mothering chamber and the light was two feet away. i noticed they were stretching and quickly put them into the clone chamber but too late.
Second mistake, using these small paper cups. i saw a fellow member rooting his clones in coco in these cups and figured it might work for seedlings, wrong. for some reason its not working in these, they dry out too quick and the seeds seem to loose root strengh from running out of room quick.
Third mistake, temps hit around 30-40 last week and my whole entire veg room pretty much stopped growing. these beans were popped on november 5th and they barely look a week old. so i went out and bought heating mats for all my veg areas and things are starting to perk up.
So, out of 6 Blue Satellite 2.2 seeds, only 3 survived. Out of 6 Purple Kush seeds, zero survived. Out of 3 chemdawgxC99, 2 survived. very bad total, lost some good genetics im sure.
Here are the ones that made it, transplanted into beer cups using FFOF/FFLW+perlite+mychorizae
Some of them still look droopy for some reason, what does this indicate?
Popped in early november, and still barely losing its shell! cold temps are NO JOKE!! heat up your veg areas!
The ones that made it, standing tall over the ones that didnt
Do you guys think the lights are still too far from the seedlings? they are about 5inches from the cups. the ones in the beercups are slammed right on the light pretty much.
And just to show im not a total jackass and purposelly killing seeds, here are 6 Sour Bubbles that i germ using a different method. got 6/6 with the Sour B because i sent the other 6 beans to a friend.
for the SB i dropped the germed seedlings into rapid rooters let them slowly grow up until they reached a few inches tall, then transplanted into beer cups within few days. gonna use more rapid rooters for seedlings in the future, the texture seems to support quicker growth and better sturdiness of the taproot than loose compact soil...

1 or 2 inches with some air movement
