Nope, just moist. I have a meter.

no i dont think your an "ar-tard"? but bleach is a strong chemical and even if distilled it would most likly burn a newly hatched root tip which i figure would stunt the root groth, im just puttin 2 an 2 together

Hahaha... I made you ar-tard. I know it's strong, that's why I only put 4 little drops, from a dropper, then use the dropper to wet the paper towel.

Stoner, next batch, instead of straight into soil, try inserting the germinated seed into peat moss disks (available everywhere very cheaply) until they sprout. Once they are a couple inches, then put the peat moss in your soil. But these guys are correct - no nutes the first few weeks.

I also have never heard of the bleach trick and probably won't be trying that anytime soon.

Right on... I'll try that that next time.

what about those stupid seed maggots? i've had quite a few of them this year. the seed will pop the root about a 1/16th of an inch them the root maggots get it. i have physically seen them eating my freshly popped bean. i don't know where they come from because they have appeared in my paper towel, plugs and soil.

i think they come from the seeds somehow!? thats what i was told!! im not sure how true it is though!!

i think the same thing. i only see them with certain seeds.

id have to say the same man, the buggers come from nowhere, it has to be IN the seeds i think. i got them on the 1st batch of beans i busted here in my new place and havent had them since. Maybe they are tiny relatives to budworm? they kinda look like that.

Sucks man, I just planted 4 with only 2 showing taproot and what do you know.....All of them came up. I'm betting mine all grew cuz they had been picked from a plant maybe 2 weeks before they were planted.

people are their miracle grow, when will they learn....... Its not much of a miracle now hun....


Dont take that the wrong way, but honestly i read atleast 15-20 threads a week with people asking whats happening to their seedlings and over half use that shit (miracle grow). People need to be on here for at least a month before they think about growing, if you fail to plan your only planning to fail (this includes more than planning on where to grow, it encompasses every aspect of your grow). So before you go sticking your seeds in any kind of moisture please have a plan and have some general knowledge of what cannabis plants require.

Ive used nothing but MG. No problems. Its not the soil....Its the farmer.

 

[420inmyapt]

Blah oh well, just trying to help, i hate that stuff for any type of gardening, i like organic soils not artificially enhanced soils....

 

[titanium3g]

I started my first seedlings in miracle grow potting soil and they did not like it at all. They grew very slowly then one of the seedlings started developing twisted leaves and what not, so I bought some sunshine mix and nutrients and my plants exploded. It was a mess, leaves every where, strong stems, fat nugs just exploding all over my closet.

 

[lonestarbudd]

after youre done germinating the seeds... what would u put them in if youre growing hydroponic with clay pellets? i put mine directly in after they were about 4 inches.. It didnt seem to affect it in a bad way.. but any advice?

 

[DesertSativa]

I agree. I have been using MG organic for a while and no problems.

 

[kochab]

yeah if you dont add any nutes. If your going to use nutes then dont use mg soil.

 

[fierybong]

So, I just germinated 4 seeds, all of them germinated, but I put them in the soil, and it was riding on a week from planting to now, so I dug them up, only to find that no progress was made. There was NO root structure, and they looked the same as when I put them in the dirt... not even 1/16 of an inch of the taproot was sprouted... this was the case with all 4... what the fuck went wrong? The soil is miracle grow, cut with a courter vermiculite, and a tbsp of blood meal.
​

Really glad I saw this I was ready to use MG but I have organic on hand, thanks for posting.

And a courtier vermiculite? Why Lord Vermiculite, I didn't see you standing there! Welcome!

I use FoxFarm nutes with no problems. If I didn't....my plants would show lots of deficiencies.

I use Botanicare's pro line from the second set of true leaves with no overdosing. But when I water, I water alot so any old nute residue is washed away and only good new water remains. I also wait a while to water again. Also, every three weeks or so I flush a few gallons per container of clearex and then water right after as normal with nutes. I think only watering enough to moisten the soil is what causes alot of problems for people. A lot of water has to drain each watering. In ground is cool because you can leave a hose going a while to flood the place and then turn it off and let is absorb.
