My first ever grow, 2 weeks no sprout

150watt hps light
40-45% humidity
78-85deg F temp
0.13-0.04-0.09 soil NPK
white widow seeds from nirvana

Ok well i soaked about 8 white widow and 4 ghetto seeds in a moist paper towel for a few days (one had a root sprout almost half an inch in just 2 days) and then planted all of the ones that sprouted in a jiffy soil pellet and put it in the black container u see in the right of the picture. i put water in it until the jiffy pellets were as fat as they could get engorged with the water and then i added a little more for the humidity. Now 2 weeks later and none of them have sprouted. I just transplanted them from the jiffy pellets into soil in styrofoam cups but while digging the seeds out of the jiffy pellets i noticed NONE had even begun to sprout and i had to toss 3 seeds cus they were really squishy and fell apart when i handled them (very gently). and even the one seed that had a half inch root somehow lost it or something cus none of the seeds i planted had anything like that. They all looked the same or smaller/deader as when i first put them in the jiffy pellet.

My gut is telling me i overwatered and caused the seed seeds to fall apart and explode because a white widow seed i planted directly in soil once sprouted in 2 days (before being eaten by some very fat and hungry bug).
So did i overwater? what happened? 2 weeks and not even a hint of sprouting? i started with 12 figuring that some would die and others would be male and i could have 2 i could work with but now i have 9 left and still hoping 1 will sprout. (I know i can only grow 2-3 with a 150watt hps). Will the move to soil with some very slight nutes and less water help? This is still my first grow from my first batch of 10 ww seeds i got from nirvana and a few ghetto seeds. I have all the technical knowledge but no practical experience.

How much longer do i have to wait until giving up on them? And if they are dead should i try skunk #1(feminized) or hindu kush from sensi seeds for my next grow, i hear they are good for beginners.


Someone help pls

Yeah you drowned them. I did the same with my current grow. I used those jiffy pellets and they stayed soaked. I manged to dig in carefully and I saved 2 seeds with some jacked up roots and the cotyldon leaves in the dirt.
After 10 days of no show they are dust.
I would try the skunk #1 (fem)That is one I have right now, like 3 weeks old and it's getting secondary limbs and tall.
Do the paper towel method, make sure no extra water on plate and use bottled water. Then after rootlet appears and grows a bit (3 days) plant in directly in the medium and only 2 seeds (sideways) deep, rootlet down ofcourse.

I think you overwatered.
I like to seed directly into soil.
Whatever seeds you can get are "Good To Grow".

U got it bro,,u put too much water in them..i use the pellets too,,, i use them to clone with also(awesome)..the trick is nice and soaked at first but shake it a little bit to get the extra water out jus like rockwoll(befor u put the seedling in)then kinda let it go,until u see it needs more water, and then when watering them give them just enough to soak a lil water up..if u think about it its kinda like miracle grow if u put to much water in it BLAaAAAA its over...i think the pellets r a great way to go for soil..... PEACE AND REAL MEDS((((((


this was started with a pellet,,,,(((now i call it MOM)))

I am no expert, but as others have said it sounds like you over watered.
FWIW, my first grow I had great results with NL from Sensi.

is there a chance that any of them may still sprout now that i have them in soil and am not watering?

After 2 weeks probably not man. You might as well dig through one and see if its made any progress at all. Sure you will lose one plant but will get an idea if your wasting your time or not. You can try ordering some new seeds or if you got extra just do it right this time.

damn sensi seeds doesnt mail to usa

i guess ill settle for feminized master kush from nirvana.

Just a little advice before you order... I bought 5 fem MK seeds from nirvana about 3 weeks ago. They have been germinating in paper towels since the 29th with no luck yet Except for one small white root that doesn't look promising but I'm not giving up hope. I germed 10 bagseeds at the same time, 3 of which have already rooted and sprouted =( I just ordered 10 regular PPP from nirvana about an hour ago, hopefully I'll have better luck with them even if some turn out male.

what exactly is a "bagseed". and what seeds from nirvana would u recommend for a beginner? i really have no idea
