Will our seeds be okay?

Okay, i've been growing since 1976 and just started some sensi star and opium seeds. they all spouted and i dropped them into Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil this morning. This is my first grow using FFOF and now i'm wondering if it is too hot for new seedlings? I'd hate to have to try and pull them out and possibly damage the little tap root.

Any advice would be much appreciated. thanks, shann

im afraid it might be. i just killed a batch of seedlings this way so i would try to get some neutral soil and do the transplant asap if i were you. how long have they been in the FFOF? mine died within 2 days of being in 'hot soil'

ok if you could figure out how to do an easy gentle transplant into some neutral soil, i would do so...

i was also wondering, did you plant poppies or is opium a strain ive never heard of

yeah, going to change them into the promix blend we have in storage. it's pretty neutral nutri wise. opium is a strain. paradise seeds offers it. we're only doing a couple of each, all feminized seeds.

Here's the writeup on it. thought it sounded interesting.

This bittersweet hybrid with high calyx to leaf ratio can be grown as a sea of green, or multi-branch plant. Huge bracts pile up on each other, making fine-looking trichome colas ? some of the biggest buds ever seen. One experienced medical grower respectfully calls Opium ?the totem?. Raised hydroponically and on coco, Opium performs phenomenally in terms of manageability and vigorous growth.

Opium?s fragrance and tastes are composed mostly of fruit. Most plants have a creamy tropical punch taste. Opium is a majestic plant, with intense smoke from liftoff to landing. Opium does not leave you crashing on the ground at the end of the ride. Her Sativa heritage registers in every cell of your body, lifting you up with an amazing cerebral high complete with visuals and racing thoughts.

isnt promix hot too? i just use soil from outside for my babies, start them in small cups(usually a shot glass or a lil dixi cups), then transplant into bigger pots with nutrient containing soil

we haven't found it to be that hot as we've used it lots of time from start to finish. we use 16 oz red plastic dixie cups with holes in the bottom and lower sides. i just moved them into the promix and covered them with saran wrap until the spout shows through the soil. then under the fls for two weeks then the MH.

well we moved them into some good soil that is most likely slightly less "hot" than 100% FFOF; we mixed it 50/50 FFOF and some pretty nutr neutral promix so that should work for the next two weeks to get them going. hope to see some spouts in a day or so!
