Thank you whiskeytango.
Mostly the plants are doing good, and even the one that didnâ??t move for 3 days finally decided to choose life (2nd photo). I think itâ??s weird that a plant can sprout and grow for 3 days, then hibernate for 3 days, then grow for 3. Thereâ??s still no sign of the church plant, and 3 others are having problems. I would very much appreciate any advice on the 3, or the entire lot for that matter. Should I give up on the church? Iâ??ve heard reports of seeds taking 3 weeks to sprout, but I donâ??t really think thatâ??ll be the case here.
I took Weedhoundâ??s advice and staked the snake, but I donâ??t think sheâ??s going to make it. Can you see the thin spot in the stem now (3rd photo)? It gets thinner daily. There is another one having the thin stem problem in the 4th photo, but not quite as bad (yet?). If this isnâ??t damping off, what could it be? Hereâ??s a good article on damping off.
I sprayed the soil with Serenade once before they hatched and again just as they started hatching. Can you spray with Serenade too much on young ones? And would this even help? I donâ??t understand how it could be any kind of fungus when there is a fan blowing directly on them, and I only water when they get pretty dry.
A third problem child is in the 5th photo. She wonâ??t open up, wonâ??t get taller, and seem less healthy every day.
Any ideas? Anyone?
Hereâ??s a shot of the foliage of the snakey thin-stem one. It is the worst looking foliage of the bunch.
Iâ??ve given the first drinks to the dirt plants now, but the ones in the perlite/vermiculite have to be watered almost daily. Note to self: if possible, just stick with dirt when sprouting seeds.
Weedhound, I hope youâ??re right about replanting the tall ones deeper, because I did 7 of them. I wanted to do more, but Iâ??m afraid, very afraid. Now keep in mind Iâ??m not a dirt farmer, but Iâ??ve always thought that burying the stem would be bad somehow. I donâ??t know, maybe by suffocating it or making it get moldy from being next to the damp soil. Also one reason I like to put the seed right into soil is because the less you transplant and screw with them, the more likely they will be to thrive. Anyway, weâ??ll see I guess. Even though they stretched, I left the white berry and master kush alone, since there were only one each. I did put a little more dirt in their containers though.
Opie,
Dont be afraid to sink those babies right up to the embryo leaves...you will be glad you did...Like Weedhound has said, it will grow roots out and be a much sturdier and stronger plant from then on..
Give it a go..
Peace,
Treetops :thumbsup:
Where'd my post go? I'll try it again. Thank you Treetops, it's nice to have a second opinion. No offense intended to WH, as she and stinky are still my two main goddesses of green. This whole burying seedlings thing is alien to me. It seems to have worked fine so far.
opie I'll have to check my bottle of serenade....not sure if it's safe for babies of that age.
Treetops is right...won't hurt them whippers at all. :thumbsup:
Hey are those ALL going to go in soil or some in hydro or ??
been following from the beginning, just didn't have anything useful to add.
Weedhound and Treetops are right, you can bury that stem right up to the cotylodons (lol, did i spell that right?), if you hadn't, those with the stems getting thinner would surely die, i've watched it happen. i'm not sure this will save them but they were gonna die otherwise so i hope this works for ya.
anyway, can't wait to see these babies grow, rock on man!
Not sure yet. My plan was to make mothers from the best, but I'm having some problems getting my cuttings in my new cloner going, so I may end up starting a few feminized ones in a real grow, real soon. If so, I'll probably put the ones in the mix in some hydroton, in my Emily's Garden.Quote:
