I have never had the need for coco, I just purchased it because it was on sale and advertised as seed starter. I’m having problems similar to you and I’d like to find a solution. My peat moss never gets 100% dry, I lift the potter to feel for the difference in mass from the potter to the plant...

Ya know, I cannot rule out that these two seeds are not viable. I think the cardboard is a bad idea since it does not drain, I’ll use the cups everyone else is using. I’ll keep the dome off and possibly grab two more seeds and start over or switch to Durban and Bluedream. :leaf: Cheers!

My coco looks water-logged from the cardboard. I had to poke holes in the bottom so it didn’t look like a swamp. What do you think? I took the seeds out and they are on top of the heat mat now with paper towels.

When I say “dry” I mean, by the lifting of my potter with peat moss. When I notice the weight of the plant and potter has reduced by evaporation I will add more. “Dry” would be defined as partially wet or mostly dry but not completely dry. Completely dry would spell disaster in peat moss or coco...

Whoa! I know Donald John Trump pardoned some very suspicious people, but this takes the cake. Ross may have had an idea with good intent, once people start getting hurt and the founder turns their back on the problem then I have no sympathy for any negative outcomes from their decisions...

My potting soil is peat moss. The coco coir was advertised as “seed starter”.

My apologies if I have violated terms. I just found it odd of what was posted since I know of the contradiction between the statement and reality. I will remove myself from the conversation until I familiarize myself with the specifics of the forum before I return. Thank you for informing me...

I'm going to mix what perlite I have left with the coco (~3 qts.) into two small batches for the Blueberry and Super Skunk. They will be placed in 40 cu. in. pots and placed inside of my humid-dome with a heat mat. Would there be a problem to use part of a paper towel in the bottom of the pot...

If a person does not like dogs then I do not believe we could be friends. Dogs are a gift, they are our best friends.

@Thurston says he is using 30% perlite with 70% coco with positive results. My coco didn’t dry out like the soil does, which I’m assuming is the problem. With the soil medium I cover the sprout zone with a clear plastic cup and add a small amount of water once a day. Everything I’m seeing leads...

Do you have a journal or anything that I could review? I recently purchased 24 qts. of coco and I’m having trouble with it. One person mentioned adding perlite and I’m seeing that you are doing just that. Thanks ahead of time! :leaf: Cheers!

I’ve been using the same procedure for over a decade with either soil or paper towels successfully. I’m eager to find a solution so I do not waste ~24 qts. of coco that could be utilized, or use it for the hydroponics baskets. I’ve attached a photograph of what is currently being used. The...

The Chinese have numbers that Canada doesn’t have, if Canada and the United States were to engage in a military conflict with China the odds would be against Western Society. Also, there would be no doubt in my mind that the Communist Regimes around the world and the regimes that are...

This would be my first venture with coco, I didn’t expect it to be this difficult. The two seeds that didn’t pop were taken out and placed in paper towels inside of a dome with a heat mat. I’ve never had this problem with germination before and all of these seeds came from reputable seed banks...

I’m having the exact same issue as you are, it will be interesting to see how this will turn out. I’ve never had a necessity for coco before, the bags of 12 qt. coco were on sale for $5 ea. labeled as “seed starters”. I’ll keep an eye on your progress and share my findings with the Skywalker...
