super silver haze problems

[bubadutep75]

I am not having any luck with super silver haze, I am new to growing but I have 3 hash plants that i started that are growing excellent. The first 10 seeds i got of s.s.h a few cracked but none really sprouted, the seeds were tiny and too green so i got replacement seeds from same place, the replacement seeds were perfect looking.

I germinated 5 of the new seeds using the papertowel technique and 4 cracked immediately, only 1 had a long root the others were short, i planted them exactly the same way as my hash plants with seedling starter soil in small cups with good drainage, and i put plastic wrap over the tops and taped the plastic on tight to hold in moisture, none of them have sprouted leaves yet, i tried these under florecent tubes with nothing and I now have them under my 400w hps about 18" away.

Please help, how hard is it to grow s.s.h. and what am I doing wrong :beatdeadhorse:

$hitty feminized seeds?

Seriously, germinating isn't that different between strains. If your Hash Plants had no issues I would look to the seed producer. Tons of crap out there unfortunately.

This is true, a seed with good genetics will sprout a healthy root and will take peep out of the soils after 2 days. Did you plant them too deep in the soil ? did you pack the soil tightly over the tops of them ? When covering my seedlings i put a little damp soil over the top and try not to compress it so its easy for the seedling to break through.
