Merry Christmas and Happy New year. How about a heating pad under the recalcitrant seeds?Two more seeds popped
Cherry Pie and Blue Dream
The BD is one of the cross seeds that will go into a 1 gal pot
Still waiting for the 2 DP to pop, dammmm!
Ya had one under them but turned it off, Soil temp is 72° - 74° without it.Merry Christmas and Happy New year. How about a heating pad under the recalcitrant seeds?
You like the Cherry Pie do you? I'm getting tired of growing males then tossing them out after spending time growing them. I'm going to be feminized seed hunting at a hydro shop I go to in the city soon. I'll keep my eye out for them. Along with Wedding Cake girl Scout Cookies, Gorilla Glue, or??? & a pack of Bomb seeds. I've liked their stuff so far and they've been cheap here $35Cdn for 5 More name brand stuff is more expensive so I'll have to see what I can afford. I've now grow 10 full sized BB from the 5 seeds....I'm in need of another brand but its been a good run with them....I'd have more but I killed 6 out of 7 clones...I still have 1 thriving in a new pot.4 Seeds
One from the dispencery, Pink Tuna, found when I was breaking up a bud.
A Gorilla Glue for the unteenth time.
1 Durban Poison and my favorite Cherry Pie.
All In wet paper towels in baggies.
I seen some tap root showing but barely noticable on 3.
Not seen on the Pink Tuna tho, so that one is suspect.
If PT fails to germ I guess I will use one from the tent.
Temp in the room is a balmy 85°
Both plants in tent doing well but GL looks a bit pale green to me.
I gave it some Dyna Grow Foilage Pro @ 375 PPM yesterday.
She (GL) still looks light green with a burn tip now.
Needs N I think but will wait a bit before I kill it lol
Smaller one is BD, seems ok but leafs look funny maybe just the strain.
Temp in tent is 80° hummy 40% not high enough so either a 2nd humidifier or
maybe just turn off the exhaust fan and let the intake fan push air out
so it stays in the tent longer and get up to 60%, trying that first.
The weather outside is crazy, we're at 47°
Now, this is Niagara Falls, NY, I live a stones throw from the Canada border
This time of year I am usually knee deep in snow and ice.
My back thanks Mother Nature lol
Getting my seeds was very expensive but had the stimi money so what the heck.You like the Cherry Pie do you? I'm getting tired of growing males then tossing them out after spending time growing them.

You need a bigger humidifier. right now outside its 75% but in my grow rooms in the basement it is 45% I have 2 humidifiers running 24/7 I'm buying 15 gallons ( $6/ week ) bottle RO water to use in them and I just purchased a 4 part reverse osmosis system + a pre-filter set up just for the humidifiers.it gets real dry in Jan Feb 10% and even my flower room needs humidifiers running. I have a sm Vicks vaporizer set at about 50% running in my small seed box when I need it running.Quick pic of the girls in the cellar.
I felt that soil was insufficient to feed them
I fed with 500 PPM of Foilage Pro n a bit of Pro Tekt n FF

Tent hummy is about 36-37% not good but cannot get it to go higher.
Maybe I should google it idk
Looking for one on amazon hard to choose the right one. I tryed running two hummys and the power strip kept shutting off.You need a bigger humidifier. right now outside its 75% but in my grow rooms in the basement it is 45% I have 2 humidifiers running 24/7 I'm buying 15 gallons ( $6/ week ) bottle RO water to use in them and I just purchased a 4 part reverse osmosis system + a pre-filter set up just for the humidifiers.it gets real dry in Jan Feb 10% and even my flower room needs humidifiers running.

Found my vornado hummy in the cellar but found out why it was not working, the wicks were missing, ordered them $16 including shipping saves me a bundle.Looking for one on amazon hard to choose the right one. I tryed running two hummys and the power strip kept shutting off.
My Main problem is I only have one outlet plug to use in the cellar and freezer is running on it also. So everything in the tent
is on that one breaker lol I get by with it tho. Wet towels are bringing it up to 43% but dry it is.
I've been a lousy cloner myself...I have had streaks where I get 9/10.and others like now where I fried them again. One day great next day WTF all yellow and wilted...Okay Bubble cloner time.. Simple, small tote with lid 6 - 8 holes with foam collars aquarium pump a splitter for multiple air stones....I've been at it all day just figuring out What - Where - how much - & when..... I watched a couple of UT videos today and it looks like as long as I have bubbles under / in each cutting I'm good to go. That's the plan......now the action part......lol.....I'm not as good on that end...Guess I will have to buy a humidifier.
Can't get the humy up with 4 gal. vornado and 1 gal steamer
only gets to37%
Plants that are growing are doing alright I guess.
None of the CP seeds germd and so far 1 of 2 DP got a little tr showing.
It's only been half a day.
I have a heat mat with the controller and it has it's problems.
I set it for 72 F but when the room temp goes above 72 it turns off.
I guess the prob has to be put in the dirt or somewhere it won't
feel the room temp. If I didn't use the controller it would heat up to 80
too much for seeds. I put it under the seed bags on a plate with a plate covering.
Let's see how that works out.
Funny how some seeds pop easy, fast with no problems
under the same conditions and some give me a hard time.
I'm 2 months behind.
I am thinking of options at this point.
I could grow the two I have and hope for the best.
I could use them as mothers and take the clones this spring.
But I've never did a clone so whole new thing for me.
lol like I need a new thing to learn right now.
I am not sure I will use the auto pots this time but
if I can get out of this downward spiral, maybe.

Hey man, you might benefit from California cup style cloning then, super easy and simpleGuess I will have to buy a humidifier.

Hey, way too wet for the seeds. imho.....that towel should have been wrung out before you put seeds on it & another wrung out towel on top....no need for all that water. I've been using spring water for the soak and wrung out paper towels in small sealed plastic containers..I was putting them on my aquarium 30c - 86f and within 24 hrs they are all popping. The mat I bought got a bit warm so I put the containers on a plate to insulate it a bit...work 100% this time......this pic is after 24hrs...the containers are damp inside but no extra waterThanks for all the advice, I really appreciate it.
73 yrs old today been in this forum for awhile now and am still learning.
Not sure why these seeds so tough.
Dam heat mat is not getting warm keep upping the temp
by one degree at a time to get it to kick on without getting to warm.
Room temp is 72° Mat controller is now at 77° but not warm yet.
I put the probe between the plates on the bags.
Seems like the 2 tent plants are in suspended animation.
No growth at all just sitting there. lol
I've heard of scaring the seed trick before some where I read it.
Will try that if nothing happens with these.
One problem is the seed opens a taproot shows but just a 16 of an inch
then it stalls and does not get bigger.
