Bell and Dr. G........ your stuff will go out Wednesday.
Just like that the bitch..poor Larry.i think theres seed soaker stuff you can buy.but i gather this is a first for you and will most likely never happen again.when ive gone by others planting sideways in soil.half come up with helmuts stuck and with the sheath too.so ive gone back to my tried and true method of planting seed with taproot up 6-7mm beneath soil on an angle ....like this..it pulls helmut off pretty good.over 30 yrs doing it like this with like a 99% strike rate..I've been nursing them alot, going in hourly and helping them shead there shells, which have been resistant to fall off. I've had to remove almost 20 shells in all. So instead of soaking up the photons, they are fighting to break out of the shell. I should have scuffed them a bit I guess, but who's to know? Right now, they just don't seem healthy and I'll make a final decision tomorrow night. Normally, I'd just scrap the grow and move on- they have 24 hours to show me something. I want to see seeds that want to live and grow like it.
My 74 year old cousin in Fla sent me a quick email tonight, "Love It"....... he's easily pleased though. LOL Regarding my cousin Larry, just between us- his wife of some 40+ years just got up one day a few months ago and moved in with a guy like 17 years younger. She also racked up $64K in charge card debt before she left. He hasn't heard one word from her since. WOW!
Hey have you considered adding a UVB light for the last 2 weeks of flower? Using the one from California Lightworks has shown serious improvement on potency and trich production. Couldn't imagine being without it now.
SolarSystem® UVB
The latest generation high output UVB T5 fluorescent bulb. This system is perfect for a single light in a tent or several hundred lights in a large commercial operation.californialightworks.com

Maybe you could have caught up, but i think i would do the same thing in your shoes.As always, thanks.
I’ve decided to yank the sprouts and start over with the Ethos “Candy Store”.......I could have probably made A go of it but about 25% of the sprouts were under-sized, struggling with purple stems- probably not enough Cal/Mag early on. The Candy’s are started, and I’ll just start another thread with those. Disappointing to take the $250 seed hit, but it happens and in the long run, I’m sure it’s the right thing to do if I want a healthy crop with high yield.
Look for a new thread I’ll start later today........and the sooner we forget about this monstrosity, the better.

Three feet above the canopy! Those things must be powerful.And I just ordered those UV-B lights mentioned above. They are on sale, then use code USA10 for another 10% off. The fixtures are better quality than those I’m finding elsewhere so I pulled the trigger. So my Phresh filter arrives tomorrow, and these will get here next week.
That's too bad. I have a few Bebop girls in my tent now. They are vigorous. When I crunched a stem, still in veg, the stanky aroma was great. I have high hopes.As always, thanks.
