care in the nursury
I personally have never understood the misting thingy. I have worked with 18 different strains so far, not once have I misted a plant, not at Germination, first set of leaves, nor into haevy veg mode. I know folks that do and all, but I dont understand it.
If your medium is moist, they are fine. When it dries out, I water once from the top down, once from the bottom up (only filling the saucer), before an uppot, a whole root dunk.
2 outta 30, man something is wrong, I can only work in seed lots of 3 beans at a time. When looking back at my grow logs, more than half the time I get 3 females per cycle and have never purchased a feminized bean.
Just a suggestion, since your having problems, try this, go to WalMart, greenhouse, DYI store and buy a small bag of Started Mix, @ about $3.00. I found egg cartons to start seeds very nicely, just fill with Starter Mix, and wet it, poke a single wee hole in the each egg holder site, let sit over night, under your light, next AM, plop in a bean in each egg site, 1/4/1/2 inch below SM,lay a piece of plastic wrap over it, and wait, 2-3 days with your light on unlees your space is to warm, 80-90 degrees is ok for germination.
You dont need light to germ, just providing heat at this point.
After my first set of leaves, I turn back the light to 20/4...after 2 more sets of leaves 1/4-1/3 strength of nutes. 5-7 nodes, turn back light to 18/6.
I'll tell ya something else.....one of the best things I ever did was to remove all blowing air in my nursery. I had always believed in the *it strengthens your stalks...you must have a fan!!!* NONSENSE! Nute management, and proper food and water, at proper times, strengthens your stalks. It's been almost 6 years since I quite blowing wind on my girls...with the exception of late flowering, I do put a fan into the canopy of a thick budding girls to stop bud rot...thats the only time for me, and what a blessing for the noise issue.
Good luck man, just restart...I've had to so many times learning also.
