I need your wisdom!

The Lowlife AK47 x Hindu is an autoflowering plant. I bought 10 seeds for $77.00 from theattitudeseedbank.com in the UK and they got here in 5 days in a stealthy bubble pack. I hope to get 4-5 females and the strain is said to be powerful with a good yield! I am going to check the ph on them in a minute and my 3 surviving females (which art 2 Snow Whites from Nirvana and a Ice Cream from Paradise Seeds). I feel like it is Christmas morning everday with all the deliveries I get here! I am very happy with this seedbank, I have ordered 5x in the past year. The only thing I can complain about are the Greenhouse Seeds "The Church" females I recently purchased I germed 4 seeds out of 5 and nothing happened after 4 days, so I scuffed the seeds lightly with sandpaper and put them back in the cabinet in paper towels. Never germed! So buyer beware of Greenhouse Seeds. This site is awesome and everyone is helpful and willing to share their expertise, there is so much mis-information out there. Well you have a great morning Opie, I am off to train one of my clients!

I wonder if it's just the Church from Greenhouse Seeds. I know of several people, myself included, who could not get Church seeds to pop. Don't know their origin though.

Hey Opie! I had the same rot problem in my small closet grow w/8 Lowlife autoflowers. I went to change my res and it was nasty, luckily I caught it before too much damage was done and all roots were still looking healthy and I only had to kill one seedling. I am pretty sure it was a air circulation issue, and I am keeping the doors open at night for now. The Lowlifes are on 20/4. I germed my last 3 female seeds from my last order (1 Nirvana Snow White, 1 Paradise Seeds Ice Cream, and that last Church seed). I am hoping to get a good mother to reveg after harvest for cloning. I have 10 G13 Power Skunk seeds and 5 G13 Ice seeds that I got for free. From now on I am going to just buy regular seeds. No more feminized seeds until I perfect my growing techniques. I get my cloning system delivered tomorrow and my homebox grow tent. And I will get my root treatment stuff in a few days. And my 2 extra air stones will be here in 2-3 days.
Right now in my small closet I have a new 105 watt multispectrum light with 6,900 lumens, a 65 watt bloom light wth 3,400 lumens, and a 85 watt veg light with 4,200 lumens. In 3 weeks or so, I will change to a blooming set up with a 50 watt veg light with 3,400 lumens, the 105 watt light with 6,900 lumens, and 3 85 watt bloom lights with 12,600 lumens. I think that will be enough for bud development. Am I keeping my wattage in reasonable range for stealth reasons? In my bigger closet I will be vegging seedlings, in my two other hydro setups(the 3 female seeds, 4 Power Skunk and 4 Ice seeds). For that I will another 105 watt light with 6,900 lumens, a 50 watt veg light with 3,400 lumens, a 65 watt veg light with 3,400 lumens, an 85 watt veg light with 4,200 lumens, and a 65 watt bloom light with 3,400 lumens.
This will be fun and interesting for me! Growing is a blast! I should be bummed about the seedlings I have destroyed, but that knowledge is invaluable! Thanks to all 4 helping me.

You are right about the Greenhouse Seeds Church! I am going to email my seedbank and see about a credit for my next order.

[EyelykPot1]

I emailed my seedbank, they sent me an email saying that they sell only for entertainment purposes and that I shuld send Greenhouse Seeds an email and try to get a refund. So I clicked on the link and began filling in the contact info, and when I got to the part with country and state they didn't have the USA in the list (I am sure because it is illegal here). So I guess I am out of luck.

You don't have to tell them you are in the US. Just give em your paypal account and email. I would be surprised if you get a refund, but it might not hurt to ask.

Hey all! I added two two airstones to my 8 gal res with my Lowlife AKsxHindu Kush seedlings yesterday, changed my res this am and my seedlings were just drooping, so I added a very light nute mix (1/8 strength of veg nutes) and hoped for the best...I can't believe it but they are finally growing! They are really getting a lot of aeration, which is critical. I will leave that huge 18 gal res in my storage area as it is way too big for what I need. I have just finished germinating 10 G13 Power Skunk, 5 Ice seeds and 1 Nirvana Snow White female and they are all doingwell (in my homebox I just got yesterday!). They are in smaller hydro setups with 4-5 gal res so aeration not an issue. I will be getting my GH Subculture packets and will add to the res. I am keeping my closet doors open 24/7 for now. I don't want to get it too hot in there. So I might have saved my plants, only time will tell. But thanks to everyone on this thread for your insight!
I am ordering more Nirvana seeds next time as I have had great results with them. For now, I am staying away from Greenhouse seeds in general. I am ordering 10 Nirvana Northern Light x Shiva and 10 feminized Seedsman Seeds White Widow (which grew vigorouly and almost survived the acid bath I gave them when I put in too PH down without a PH test...I know, I know, How stupid could I be??!!). Well, have a great night everybody!!
