YO Stinky

I don't know if mold is more common during budding, but the simple fact that there is more foliage to trap moisture under and in the canopy, seems like it would make sense. Also, I've never had mold issues and haven't read much about them. I don't know what RH mold needs in order to start growing, so I'll have to take oldjims word for it. Weed plants seem to prefer 60% RH, and I know that's plenty of moisture for mold.

And yes oldjim, I get that message all the time. Especially during forum "rush hours". It is extremely frustrating when you type some long thing out, then loose it all. That's one reason I like to compose my stuff in word or something, if it's going to be a fairly long post. Also, if you hit control-A, then control-C before you press submit, if it does go away you'll still have it on your clipboard. Then just start again and hit control-V for it to all come back. But you probably already knew that.

Mold risk begins at about 45% humidity (it's rare to see mold at that %RH though! You have to be screwing something else up pretty seriously) depending on a couple other factors:
-bud density- fluffy buds= less risk
-strain's natural resistance to pathogens
-plant's immune system health (potassium and silica are important)
-air flow- more flow= less stagnation= less risk
-difference between night and day temps- Minimizing temperature swing between night and day will decrease your mold risk and allow you to run a higher %RH because you won't get dewfall.
Generally, keeping your flower room under 50% with all other conditions being reasonable you should never see mold in your buds.
I don't know about how young you can go using cannazyme. HAve you tried peroxide treatment yet?
Finally, consider something like SubCulture innoculant (just looked it up and it's listed interchangeably with hydroguard)... here's a link to some basic considerations for use:

sure (you kno what a spike of anger can do)



but back to business thanks for all the responces, but its all pointless since these dam seeds wont germ :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf: :wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf::wtf:

i bought some nice feminized ww seeds and fem haze and they wont germ, i got in in a ziplock and damp paper towel for prob more than a month, nothing i tryed to germ at reg room temp (70f) them moved up grad to now 102f and nothing, got my new system waiting for them and they werent cheap.

i chucked the pagcage they came in so i dont remember the brand but it was in this circle thing with a spinning clear plastic front to realease them.... i try to look up my order and find out

but if anyone has any ideas i would greatly appreaciate them i really want to get these going.

whats up with the board, did you guys update it? i have to quote somthing to reply or it says: Please click one of the Quick Reply icons in the posts above to activate Quick Reply.

but anyway they were Greenhouse Seeds 5 packs (feminized)

Jimmy....try some rapid rooters....you just toss the seed in the whole and water.....keep the rr about as wet as a sponge.....more than damp but nothing dripping.....they should germinate for you. I've never had a problem with my rapid rooters.

thanks about to now, but 2 questions, you put them in a h dome or anything or just keep them out and wet? also could germ be effected buy the fact they they have been wet/(tryin to germ) for the last month?..

[stinkyattic]

After a month, those seeds are beyond hope.
A humidity dome isn't necessary to germ, just keep the medium moist but not wet, and it can actually help create the conditions for damping-off (pythium) which will kill seedlings- air flow is important.
A nice thing about rapidrooters is that they are inoculated with beneficial soil bacteria and these bacteria prevent fungus from attacking the little plants. So if you are having problems, it's worth a shot.
Practice on bagseeds for now until you are certain that you have fixed the problem. There are probably some in your buddy's ashtray or the shifter-boot of his car...

i usaky germ prity quick and easly but when ever i buy seeds theres alawys a problem, i could germ bagseeds with sucess til im dead but these fem seeds are a bitch for some reason


but no luck with the rr so far


could i dry thses seeds and re germ, since they didnt germ?......

[Opie Yutts]

If your seeds have never touched moisture, you have a chance of germinating them. Otherwise they will never root. I've tried many methods, and by far the most success I've had is to stick the seeds about 1/4 inch into soil, keep the soil warm and moist, not wet. The seeds won't have a choice but to sprout, and they're already transplanted as well, which will help reduce transplant shock and growth slow down.

PS, some strains are harder to grow all around. But whenever you buy seed the project goes bad? That's expensive. Maybe try a plant known for it's hardiness. It's hard to kill Blueberry or AK-47.
