your issue is YOU! not the seeds,.. you water too frequently, your light is too close,. this stuff didn’t happened without a human involved,..
i looked through all your post and your plants at harvest have lots of issues,..

My one picture of harvested plants that were stunted through various issues we intentionally caused testing things? Sure. Take that one pic.

The buds still smoked smooth and tested at 19% THC so idk what to tell ya

hey the worst looking grows can still produce a good high, mind you unhealthy plants will suck up the heavy metals big time compared to healthy plants

besides the issues, and i mean this,. so don’t take it personally,..
your trying to hard to be perfect,. over mothering, trying to control everything etc etc

Why not try to make your plant the best it can be with tools rather than.. guessing?

I don't really trust the light tool, we try to do that manually but still struggle with it, so the numbers give us a guide.

The pH/PPM meters have saved us from accidentally producing a shit harsh crop with way too much food left over, letting us know we needed to flush it a lot. It also helps us know if the plant is nute-locked for some reason, eating too little or too much.

Keeping the VPD at the right level is also told to be important everywhere I go. So why not use the tools? I can't see visibly that there was way too much nutes building up in my plant.

there ways to read plant for most all issues,.
so let’s start with what you posted,..
i see a medium being too wet too long, yes peat pellets are a fine line in controlling when to water,. (change this method) i see the light is waaaay too close?
how would i know this looking at your pictures?

should be getting 100% if these are modern indoor breed,.
99% of the time the issue is too wet/watering to often

Want some of mine ?!
100 % germ. Either that, or I'm an expert at germination.

another thing if you haven’t been using that junk to measure everything you would of learned by your mistakes but you want to believe in “tools” to help to grow,.. get rid of ph crap, light meters etc

The light is like 4 feet above the seedlings.. how much further can it be without them getting no light? Are you sure you aren't seeing that one of the peat pellets fell over and the seedling was laying in water for a few hours?

only one picture in this thread,. what about intensity?
let’s see some better pictures of plants and grow area?

Lighting issue. Cuttings -(24 to 30. )Veg - ( 18 to 24 ) flower - I go (13 to 16. )
And, probably not enough wattage. Just a guess. And, a real soil bag.

No I'm truly not. Just because I disagree with him and he never gave me an actual answer doesn't make me a douchebag. I'd honestly say the reverse.


1. I ask question, give details.
2. I get told something TOTALLY unrelated to my question.
3. I say "I disagree"
4. I'm a douchebag.

Makes total sense. I'm the clown. You're not just bullies coming down on a new grower because a mod was the one who said it.

Come on guys ! We're all on the same team. A club of cultivators. That not to many people belong to. We are unique ! Let's act like it. We're all on the same side.
Peace everyone.

I planted 6/6 seeds 10 days ago give or take expecting 1 or 2 to die, because we ALWAYS lose seeds.
Last grow we were able to keep 4/10 alive. Sadly it looks like this grow we're going to have 2/6 alive.

We treated them all in the same conditions. Placed them in an incubator, kept at 80/80. Two sprouted out the second day.
The rest hadn't moved by day 7 so we dug and inspected. There were some taproots alive and well and we re-set them, but I think we may have drowned them.

I put them in a carboard box to dry the bottoms hoping they'll grow down and pop up, but is that likely after 10 days of nothing?

We ALWAYS have bad luck with seeds dying in droves. We can grow beautiful plants, but oddly it's this one thing we can't figure out and it should be the simplest.

We once did the paper towel method and gently put them in moist soil.
We once placed the seeds a fingernail depth in a pre-wet, but not dripping, pot of soil.

Every. Time. We lose a majority of our seeds which are really expensive and we're thinking of switching to cloning our plants to make it easier, but I'd still like to know.

Does anyone think these seeds have any chance left?
My plants in their dome under a full spectrum low wattage SpiderFarmer LED.
Watered with distilled (dehumidifier) water at 6.4pH, 80RH, 80F and Photone to measure the light to 12 DLI like it should be at this stage.

Does anyone have any recommendations, tips, or a YouTube video that will help a simpleton get a high success rate with seeds? People in Discord are telling me they're getting 90%+ survival rate so it's obviously my fault.

I only germ on a towel now so I can watch it
Let's me see how viable it is . Cause yeah at 10.00 a seed that gets pricey, I lost ALot that way. Dropping in dirt first hasn't served me well. I soak on a towel in a Tupperware ware dish put on top of PlayStation , where it's warm and in about 24 48 hours i have a visible root. I let the tap root get to about a half inch 3 days to 7 , read this somewhere to wait till it gets half inch , then drop in dirt and watch it again to make sure she pops up sometimes I help it . Never lost a seed that way. If it doesn't open with a root showing I don't plant it .

Post in thread '2 Purple Ghost Candy , 2 Lsd , 2 original Glue and 1 critical 2.0 Auto germinated /in dirt on St Patty's day. Outside only is my growth good?' https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/2...de-only-is-my-growth-good.158385/post-3103409

Do you mean paper towel, or real towel ?! Maybe your watching it to much. They need to be in darkness. There not going to pop for 4 days anyhow, so know need to watch them, except to keep them moist. Don't open the towel. I hope it's paper. And, do you soak the seeds for 15 hours first ? And, I even use spring water to germination.

In fact I use spring water from germ to harvest.
