THINK I MAY HAVE SOME TROUBLE, PLEASE NEED SOME ADVICE!!!

[sjacobs713]

this is DAY 4...

3 NL's have sprouted, and only 1 WW, and it doesnt seem to be doing to well.

2 of the NL look nice, but the 1 ww is looking a little weird...
also i still have 3 NL's in the propagation tray, and 5 WW in there...

have they been in propagation too long? should i try and take seeds out of the peat pellets, and place them in soil, or should i just leave them?
anybodys experience w/ propagation tray's would be awesome..

got my 1000w in last night, and placed the 4 that have sprouted under light, and damn is that bitch hot!
i have it in the closet of my room, took my wifes closet and made it the grow room, but anyways i havent setup the mylar, so the light leaks through the cracks of the door, and it looks like some ET shit in there.. shit is BRIGHT!
but anyways, please help, that's over 50% of my seeds that are still in propagation tray.

there are four pics.. the first is a NL as well as the 2nd one... the 3rd one, i dont know if you can see it, but it's just a little white sprout, that is a WW one...
and then the 4th is the propagation..

PLEASE NEED SOME ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS....

PEACE!
Slim

Did you geminate them before planting into peat pellets? Also how far away do you keep the light away from them? Heat may play in issue.

[sjacobs713]

no, i was using the pellets to germinate them.. light is about 5.5 ft above them, but that thing does get hot...
should i take them out the pellets ( the seeds ) and put them in papertowels or maybe a cup of water?

Your photos are a bit blurred... From what I can make out... I'd leave them in the soil! Moving them now will increase your chances of stunting or ending their life on this earth...

Do you have some good ventilation and a light fan on them? Increase the fan as they get older. Your light distance is probably fine for 1,000 watts.

Good luck!

Arnt' those seedlings a bit young for a 1000w light?

[sjacobs713]

that's what i'm trying to find out.. in the evenings i put them under 2 75 Phillips Indoor Plant Lights, and in the day I put them under the 1000w....
should i not be doing this?

No HPS or MH until at they've been above ground for at least a week, and at that point be quite careful with the distance.

As far as the peat pellets - they work for some seeds. But they don't drain very well and so you'll get more seeds that die from drowning roots. I like to use a mixture that's made with peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. It drains pretty well but holds moisture great once you've soaked it in water for a bit.

[sjacobs713]

what % of moss, perlite and vermiculite do you mix together, mountainman? those are all types of soil that i can buy from hardware store , right?
i think i saw them all

[sjacobs713]

ok , so now i know peat pellets are not too good to use... thanks for info..
SO, I have 8 seeds left
4 x Northern Lights
4 x White Widow..
what is the BEST method to go about germinating.. I keep hearing this paper towel method would be the best...
how about some rockwool cubes in the propagation dome, or is the paper towel truly the best way?

alright . i'm out of here for awhile.. hopefully hear something.
PEACE!
