I germinated my seed succesfully and put it in soil. but only to find out that it wasn't growing so i checked the seed and the rout had frizzled out and died. Did i overheat it overwater it? and how can i possibly revive the rout if thats at all possible

hmm, I kinda put a doubt on the overwatering unless you really really over saturated it. But you mention overheating, I dont know if you actually used a heater or what, but generally I usually put my germination up on a top shelf of a dark closet where its usually a bit warmer than room temperature.
I found it best to use a saucer, and put the seeds in the fold of a wet paper towel, then use some cellophane as a tent to help hold in the moisture but vented a bit. I have gotten 100% results from this method for over 30 years.

If your root is frizzled..Its gone. Ya might want to try it again using my method. I check on it every 24 hours or so but usually good seeds will germ in just a day or two, sometimes 3.

Well it germinated and everything i put it in the soil with a fan on some water so the humidity would increase and i also put it under a 150w cfl mh.. btw is that good enough for a small closet grow or do i need more wattage? It could've been the miracle grow i put it in. I heard its very acidic for plant but its very high in nuts so wouldnt that make the veg stage grow like its on steroids? I don't know im really confused.

I use the cellophane to increase the humidity, I don't really use a fan till they're a bit taller, helps keep the stalk strong. I also don't use a light until after they pop out of the soil.
As your plant gets bigger, you'll deffinetly need more light.
All I have ever used is MG so that's not the problem, not the best soil, but it should have been ok in mg. When using miracle grow, just use straight water. Dont add any nutes till plant is a lot bigger. I never use nutes unless I have a deficiency of some sort, just plain old water only. And I only water when the pot its in feels very light weight.

The single most contributing factor to making your plants "grow like they are on steroids" is lighting. Everything else you do keeps it healthy enough to attain the size and quality.
I'm just a novice here on the forums, but read all you can coz there's some really good stuff here by some incredible growers that are alot better then me.

okay thanks for the info.. it turns out that the dirt covered the sprout and its not atualy dead i put it back into my germation box.. But what do i do after that? Put it in the soil and turn the light on or no? fan on or no? i just need to know what to do after i've germinated my seed

[RAINHAZE]

Okay....ya got the seedling back in the soil. I hopefully its not too deep or to near the surface.
Put it in a warm dark place till it sprouts.
Once its got it's first baby leaves give it some light.
No fan yet.
Let it do its thing, don't touch it other than to water it ONLY if it needs it.
Don't mess with the seed pod that is stuck to it..it will fall on its own.
Once it has its 3rd or 4th set of leaves you can give it more light and also turn on the fan. I would aim it indirectly so as not to blow too hard on it..ya just want to circulate a bit.

Do massive searches here, go to the "basic Growing" threads and read everything.

If you do not know for CERTAIN, do not respond!
There are MANY of us that have more experience.

For example:
Keep the fan!
It takes longer to germinate, but you get a stronger stalk.
When those buds get heavy, you will be unable to strengthen your stalk.
This applies, even before the seed pops up.
When you SEE this effect for yourself, you will wonder in awe, how such a tiny form of life knows the wind conditions above.
THAT also gets YOU started on the right track.
(ok, so tell me how much you love tying up your girls now)

Did you use Miracle Grow soil or fertilizer?

How deep did you plant the seed?

Hey pal, Who made you King Cannabis?? Im just trying to help this guy out based on my own experiences. Sure there are MANY that have more experience, but that doesnt mean I should not respond!! Nor does it give you the right to tell me what I can or can't do!
Hell If you look youll see I even told him to do searches because there's alot of great growers more experienced than me!
If you will also recall, I also told him to use the fan eventually. (based on my own experiences)
BTW I always use a fan and I have never had to tie my girls up!

A fan wont wake seeds germinate any quicker or slower. Unless, of course, the seeds are germinating and the fan dries out the substrate to quickly, that'll slow things down for sure.

Once its planted it needs a fan. Not during germination...

:wtf: I've never heard of anyone saying to put a fan on germ'ing seeds.
