everything seems to be okay till now , but just 7 of my pots , they didnt show up anything , i did germinate the seed in paper towel method , they were fresh , but i really don have idea why 7 of them just died , is it normal among 170 pots 7 of them die ????

Hi Sam, nice to meet you.

I think it's pretty standard for a few of the seedlings to not sprout, especially when you're dealing with a high number of seedlings(I'm not sure about the ratio %'s).

If you just had a bag full of randomly mixed seeds and are trying to plant them, then I think it's pretty normal that some seedling do not sprout, turn out bad, or even die.

If you bought them online, then I think the % of seedlings not sprouting are greatly reduced.

A lot of this also depends on how you set up your growing operation, and how effective it is.

If the other seedlings turned out great with no problems and look very healthy then I don't think you should be too worried.

I think that the light IS too far away from the pots. during the seedling stages, if you put the light far away, the seedlings will not have enough light and because of that it could die or not grow good. You want to be able to put the lights pretty close to the pots, so that the seeds have a lot of light to grow fast and good. now you do not want to put it too close, because if you do you will damage the plants because it is too hot and close to the light.

Now the best way to know is too check your seedlings. If your seedlings are growing too tall and skinny then that means the light is too far, and if the leaves is looking burned then it is too close.I dont know what exact light you are using, so you will have to figure out the best height for the lights, but try to put the lights as close as possible without your plants suffering from the light. I would say at least move it 2x closer then it already is right now.

and I do not think that the pots are too close, it is good.

also during the seedling stage of growing, you do not need to put each seedling in 1 gallon pots. i think it is better when you put the seedlings in a much smaller pots. because that way you can have a lot of seedlings in a small area and put the light pretty close, and they will all have good light source. rather then right now, where you have them all spread out in big 1 gallon pots, so now your lighting is spread out.

Look on youtube for videos on how to grow marijuana. they have specific videos dealing with seeds, seedlings, pots, and lights. I think that if you watch some videos and read some of the threads on this forum, then you will have a good idea knowing how to grow. If I were you, then I would do a lot of research first, before just trying it out. because there are all kinds of little steps that you can mess up, and those little mistakes might affect your overall yield or quality of the marijuana.

And the last thing, if you want help and advice and guidance with your specific problems, then you will have to give as much detail about how you are growing your plants. That way people have more information and will be able to help you better.

EDIT: looking at that picture of your seedling, you can see that the stem is very skinny and tall. that means that the light is too far away from the plant, and the plant is trying to grow its leaves fast and close to the light. that is not good. the plant will be very tall but very weak. and if the main stem is weak then the plant cannot support heavy buds. and no heavy buds means, very small harvest. and very small harvest means, a lot of time wasted growing for very little yield. so put the lights a lot closer if you can, it is still at an early stage so you can correct this problem, but the longer you wait, the worst it gets.
