So cal here as well and no issues popping seeds and my best plant last fall was a clone of my best plant (killed by a gopher).I started growing back in 2009, and for several happy years I got nearly a %100 success rate sprouting seeds and rooting clones. I don't know what happened or what I'm doing wrong but it seems like, no matter what methods I'm using, I can't get seeds to sprout or clones to take root since about 2015 (I stopped growing except for clones gifted to me by friends). I live in Southern California. Could there be some kind of mold growing in my house preventing my success? If you have any insight as to what my problem could be I would love to hear from you. Cannabis was my livelihood for 6 years. I would like to get back in the groove.
I can’t comment on the seeds but as far as clones I think you need to drop the great white seaweed and hygrozyme.The clones stay green and perky for 2-3 weeks but they won't sprout roots, after 3 weeks algae grows on the pods and the clones yellow and die. My methods used to get roots in 5-7 days with all pods uniformly ready to plant by 10 days (Jiffy pods, Great White, seaweed, Hygrozyme, under 40w fluorescents). Some people have said I'm overdoing it but my success was undeniable. With my seeds I always just went straight in to Jiffy pods with plain water, nothing fancy. But the seeds rot in the pods now. I've moved on to the pre-moistened pods (Root Riot) but still no success.
Just did that. But I did get some of them to spout but then after putting them in rock wool they did not continue to come up. Will try straight from spout to dirt. After spout put in dirt/rockwool do you then put them under lights or back in the dark?Temperature is very important. I like 80-85f for seeds and clones. Put them in wet (not soaked) paper towel and place in ziplock bag. Set them on top of the hot water tank. They should pop in 2-5 days.
I keep them under cfl 24hrs for the first 2 days then 18-6.Just did that. But I did get some of them to spout but then after putting them in rock wool they did not continue to come up.

Thank You. If seeds have not come up (sprouted then put in dirt under lights but then did not come up) for 7 days should I give up?I keep them under cfl 24hrs for the first 2 days then 18-6.
i guess that would depend on how many seeds you have.Thank You. If seeds have not come up (sprouted then put in dirt under lights but then did not come up) for 7 days should I give up?
So they still might come up? I'm just not up to speed on seeds - have sprouted twice and did not have this problem. This time I've tried 3 different sets of beans from 2 different vendors and none are coming up. So trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Wonder if it's winter and so just not warm enough but have on warming pads - wondered if they just take weeks instead of days and I'm being inpatient.i guess that would depend on how many seeds you have.

Thank you - will try being more patient - great farm you have going there. Really really beautiful to see everything so healthy and happy.I have had some seeds take up to 20 days and other strains consistently come up in 2-4. If the heating pad is not enough try using warm water.

This is great - thank you. It's amazing how much time you can spend looking on line and NOT find something that shows it like this. Already has helped - I think my water was room temp buy too cold soaking my rock wool and for watering - the grow room is kept cool to help dissipate the heat from the lights. Again thank you - so nice to have the people on this board!I have had some seeds take up to 20 days and other strains consistently come up in 2-4. If the heating pad is not enough try using warm water.
How funny - I can't get 1sr one to play - 2nd one give me a screen that says age restricted - hysterical as I'm old! Is there a cost to subscribe? If I subscribe can I see the videos?
