Can you nurse them back to health ?

Just having problems with my grow also I think they needed a good watering even tough the soil was moist 2" down the pots got very light and the leaves started dropping. I hoping they bounce back they were going so well

Not a chance I'm afraid the tissue has dried hard... almost like a fossell..!! I opened the kitchen roll and could see that most had a tap root coming out..

By weight is much better indication if a plant needs water...

Unlucky man , have you more seeds ? They came back to life 30 mins after i watered them thank god just before the light went out @ 9pm
 
Thats why i NEVER use the paper towel method .. especially if i paid for seeds .. always start em in peat pots / rapidrooters / seedling soil mix....they will pop if they are going to and it leaves so much more room for error.

Bad luck Jay .. looks like you would've had some nice strains

How long on average does it take from switching to 12/12 to see pistils ?

Do you count flowering weeks from the switch or start of pistil development ?

You could put them into 70 hours of darkness and I would bet they will show sex but I would just leave nature take its course - less stress is better , How light proof is your shed that could be your problem for them not flowering ?

Also the morning sun light is better for the plants so get them out as early as you can 11am I would think there missing out.

Looking well easter...
To answer your question earlier.. As you know all strain take different times, normally 2 weeks to show their sex and a week later you should start to see pitsils..

You probably know this already but.. dark time means dark time, any light during this time will only cause you a headache and a much longer flowering time..

Slight light leaks in my room I think I have only noticed now over going 12/12 since the lights come on a 9am - 9pm there is a slight bit of sunlight creeping into my room before and after lights .... Something I need to fix ASAP ... Thanks for the info ...Did your outdoor plants survive ?

They say about the brightness of the moon at night is the limit.. But darker the better..
Not been to the outdoor patch since removing giant ferns that had fallen over..
