Well...I think i've had a revelation. The soil i used for these plants is a mix that has been sitting out in the woods for over a year. I read the mix today and remembered that it is a peat base. I think that may explain the slow growth with the decay of the peat the soils become acidic and cannot take up nutes. No worries, this is just a temp situation till I can get them in their season pots. I'll use some dolomite in the mean time.

Also, I've been having some really weird things happen with some of my plants this year. It's like some of them when they sprout...they sort of dont have a set of leaves/stalk. check out the one pic titled no "stalk", this has happened to me with a couple seeds, i've just kept this one around for the sake of a picture. It just doesnt have a fucking stalk...just the sprout petals.

Also, look at the pic titled "head falls off". The plant germinated all normal and everything and then it's like it's fucking head juts fell right off...wtf? this has happened to me like 6 times this year. I looked for the head in teh ground but i couldnt find it. Finally, the file titled "burnt leaf tips", well im pretty sure this is a nitrogen deficiency due to the acidity of the soil it's in. I'm going to correct this very soon. I think im gonna set up a journal, i got a few things this year. I might have a male, but im pretty sure it's still to early to tell.

From the pics you can see that the soil's green, I'm not sure what that's all about but again i dont care bc i'll be getting my babies transferred to their summer pots real soon. Also, if you think im wrong on anything or have any thing to add plz dont be shy :blsmoke:


Thanks guys

Looks like your getting damping off.Damping-off generally refers to sudden plant death in the seedling stage due to the attack of fungi Damping-off generally refers to sudden plant death in the seedling stage due to the attack of fungi .These fungi are soilborne and are stimulated to grow and infect the seed or seedling causing it to die.
Repot as soon as you can the green is mold. Not good.

Also, those little green plants that are growing in the pot, will those ever pose a problem or are they ok?
