I think ud have better luck with a softer light. Ocean forest is a little hot for seedlings. I really like jiffy pucks but fox farms has a seedling soil too.

If you've gone through 30 seeds tho I think I would take a look at the genetics though.

Where did the seeds come from? I plant my seeds directly in FFOF and have never had a single issue. I use T8 Flourescents for sprouting and vegging just a couple of inches from them. I don't move them to the mh until they are about 3-4 weeks old.

I agree that lighting is to strong for babies. Veg under your t-8s for at least two weeks.Also how close is that light I believe a 600watt should be at least 18” from plants.I used to run a 400watt air cooled and I could get it about 12”” from the canopy.Ive grown Nirvana seeds before with no problems but I don’t trust certain seed banks could be very old seeds. Good Luck and if I can help in anyway I would be more than happy to.

23W SPIRAL CFL hung about an inch away from seedlings, (NO FERTILISER, LIKE NONE), small fan gently blowing directly at seedlings.
If it still fucks up you have evil water.

Yes leds two 300watt/135watt from wall.They were supposed to be the same light but the spectrum is way different.I like it better that way.3plants in a 32”x32”x60” tent. What kind of light do you use for germinating and how far away?Seedlings like it a little warmer with good amount of humidity.Today is 12days after going to 12/12.Boy are these plants stretching 80/20 Sativa.pic from today.Wife ordered the seeds??

I love Nirvana, I've been buying seeds from them for 10 years now with 100% success rate.

I just put my seeds directly in the soil and germinate there.

As for how my T8's. I use 4-4ft shop lights with 2 bulbs each, so 8 bulbs. 5000-6000k temperatures. I veg them under that until the plants are about 12" tall and nice and bushy. They usually have preflowers on them by that time before I move to mh. Then they spend about 1 week only under mh before I switch to hps for flowering. Sometimes I skip the mh altogether and just go straight to flowering from the veg box.

They are a no name brand.Got them off Amazon.I believe $50.00 each. I veged under just the one that’s really got the pink look to it, when I ordered the second light it was a way different spectrum, lots more white light I didn’t complain because I like the different spectrums. Got a pic of a bag seed I did with just the pink light. PS I took some lower buds off this to try.CEE64261-E2F4-4D84-9255-0000B0D5B91A.jpeg
