Lowryder germination problems...urgh

Ahhh you bout the beans from seedboutique?

Im thinking bout buy som lowryder too, Im assuming that your in the US of A so how long did it take for yours to arrive? on their website it says something bout between 7-28 days?

Seedboutique delivers very quickly. 7-28 days is assuming that you could live in any country in the world. But, you should see seeds that you order arriving in about a week.

ah oki thats good cause ive try to order from different sites and haven't got the seeds/poor customer service! also since im still a bit unfamiliar with US pricing for seeds is $50 per 10 about average?

[mountainman]

For lowryder, yes. $50 for ten seeds is the cheapest.

No luck yet really, but perusing highbred.net for a bit suggested that lowryders take a while sometimes. There should be no way that these could have fried, since they're not under HPS yet. I measured, and they're at about 30 C inside the greenhouse.

I've got all six of my remaining seeds planted now. <crossing fingers> My hydro system is ready to go.

Ok Student, here's a question that I'd like answered please.

The two that I started germinating when I decided to retry have succumbed to root rot. I think the peat pellets are holding too much moisture in. I'm trying to save one that seemed to have a chance, but it's a longshot.

I pulled out the four remaining seeds which are about to pop (except for one which has just barely popped) and put them in a sparingly damp paper towel. I'm thinking I'll try germinating these in a better draining mixture, I've got some peat moss that doesn't like to hold much water. Sound like a good idea? I wanna get these ones to live, cause I don't wanna have to drop another $50 on lowryder seeds :-/

docterfeelgood i gotta say that avatar is wicked!

Ok, so I'm germinating right now with bottom heat in a small greenhouse in a better draining mixture. One just popped the surface of the soil an hour or so ago! I think I've found my lowryder germination method.

Peat pellets = bad for lowryder. Northern Lights, White Widow, Mexican Sativa, or Ice don't care, but lowryder definitely does. I'll probably use a better draining mixture for all seeds from now on, regardless of strain. If all goes well, I'll have four popping by the end of the week.

Student - I'll keep you posted and send some pics.

[mountainman]

Ok, one seedling's cotyledons are starting to open and turn green, the other one should also do the same soon. It looks like these two will make it. Hopefully I'll have another two popping up soon also.

Pics coming once they're transplanted to hydro and hps in a day or two.
