awesome! you dropped them all straight into soil? oh well at least you now know that these 2 are strong, hope you got some females.

i 100% on those strains in rapid rooters and paper towels, got some more popping straight out the rooters right now(some other strains, winterfresh and chernobylx(wwxbgmh))
They start in rapid rooters and then go into a solo cup when I see them pop :)

I hope some are females to.

i bet they where too damp too, i had some rooter drown a couple seeds recently too.:/ just checked on the winterfresh beans popped but dead, and the rooter feel too cold for how damp they are. just about the perfect moisture content. aight peace out off to work

I cut my S cubes in half, so they don't hold much water. Then I use an eye dropper until I see tap coming out the bottom, at which point I transfer to my bubbler

took a 4 bulb t8 i found, tied the 2 outputs from the t8 ballast into the 2 center bulbs and then powered the 2 outer bulbs with a T5 ballast. so its an overdriven T8 with about 230w draw. very bright, but i will be switching it over to T5 as soon as i get some money for end caps/sockets, lamp holders, wtfe their called.
then it will be a basic 4 bulb t5.

root bound? nah i dont beleive in that shit. haha. yeah she is massive, got her in this odd position so she gets the most water and nutes. looks overwaterd but hell what do i know figured thats normal for NFT most all em got that loook, seems like some strains do better than others in the system.

the babys got confused somewhere on here and said 2 winterfresh drowned i was wrong it was x2 chernobylx(wwxbgmh) then the babys doing well g13, woody haze crosses doing well brain damage and a g13 doing the best.(some seedlings arnt in the pic but they all hatched)

ill show a pic of my canopy/buds once i get done being pissed about accidental pollination for the second crop in a row, same culprit, my dumbass methods. fucking pissed right now.. gonna get a good yield still(after i pick all these fucking seeds) and a lot of desirable and useable seeds(mostly crosses that i was making anyways now on a large scale..) just irritated because it was not intentional.. oh well just pushs my schedule forward and ill have a lot of F2s and bx1s.:D

ive tried bubbling my seedlings but ive had mixed results.
Same here, UNTIL, I bought a 45L/min air pump (4 outlets) and used Oxystones. these in a ~ 2g Rubbermaid Roughneck tote.

I intuit that the air space above the water line needs to be very moist (almost fog like- without the heat). For sure the roots dig for it.

FYI, I just inserted 4/5 WHx seeds that cracked (but barely) into half size starter cubes. Fingers crossed

It may be too late, but you could spray the pistils with water, maybe even H2O2 to kill the germination

water wont stop fresh pollen obviously... haha, this only come from err. experience haha i sprayed the shit out of everything with water, even raised humidity in the house.) but i should have tried h202 i will give that a go next time, i was deciding between iso and h2o2 but it seems h202 is much friendlier.

and it wasnt that bad just 2 plants got hit bad but they where both shit i was working on anyway(strain wise) so its okay.

Good morning poly. Yes I found this is true except for cell phones. I hate it when I break those and cant fix them! GRRR
depends on what kind of cell phone... cell phones from the past 2-3 years are awesome very easy to build and fix, much more modular than their predecessors.

okay its been a week, and umm hte red hais just appeared every where on a plant i just put into flower from the hPS tent, it was unpollinated(sucking up same air as the other tent), some strains, have not developed any red hairs. and they are all in the same tent WTF is going on! its been a week and ive checked a couple calyxs, no seeds. just lots of fucking red hairs. growth was stunted for about a week but now the buds are growing once again like crazy.

i may have not pollinated my crop and the buds are resuming growth. i dont know WTF i did or what variable caused this, i did change my res water for the first time same night i pollinated the other plants. and i was very careful too. perhaps it is not pollination only time will tell i suppose.
