I have been browsing around the forums for a while now gathering information. I have almost finished my closet, all Mylar and everything is in place I just need to cut holes in the door and ceiling for fans. I will be growing with between 350-500 watts of cfl and florescent. Ok now onto my problem.
I germinated the seeds (bag seed several months old) on a plate/paper towel and 10 our or 14 germinated so I planted all including the 4 none germinated (just in case) in coco plugs. I stated them under a humidity dome and heat mat (and took the dome off and turned the heat mat off after a couple days). Within the first 2 days two sprouts had popped out with the seeds still on their tops. The next day two more sprouted. I am now on to day 5 and only those 4 have sprouted and all still have the seeds on the tops of them. It seems like they are taking longer then they should. They are growing under 4 26watt cfl daylight bulbs about 2.5-3" above with a mylar reflector and walls. Any help on what I can do to make sure these grow would be appriciated. I thought about adding a very very small amount of nutrients to the water but decided not to as everyone says to wait til they are 3-4". It is fine if they take longer to grow it is just wierd that all the ones that sprouted haven't done anything since they popped out. I am trying to get practice before spending the money on good seeds. Pics below sorry for the poor quality it is a phone.
