aiit..so the other 5 seeds are already lookin nice..2 of them already srpouted,and i put them into their pots and under the t-5..since their still very small,and still have barely the cotyledons..i placed a homde made humidty dome on those two...all my other ones will prolly be up by tommorow..hoever i have a problem..the tap root is growing UP,not down,and is curliong and doing all type of shit..so is there a chance that the tap root will corrwect itself,or do i have to perfrom surgery???

well one thing is for sure I hope you didnt throw away those seeds that didnt germ after a few days you know some of them are slow acting and can take up to 2 weeks to start growing. Cannabis is strong they will be fine.

and the reason i dont use the paper towel method is cus touching and fucking with the taproot not only strsses it,but it kills the micro hairs on the root itself.....:clap:ya dig?
truthfully, i don't know what you mean by this...is the micro hairs really that important....i don't think so

i only use this method and countless other growers use it with no complaints of it effecting the growth of the plant.... and the plants speaks for themselves...

i think you're making a big deal out of the little things.. do the paper plate method...hasn't steered a lot of growers wrong

mannnn....you're making a big deal out of nothing....

the second you see the seed crack, you can plant it... please don't be one of those people who waits for the tap root to be a certain length like " one fourth of an inch"... once it has a tail, plant it... the way you're micromanaging, you're hurting the plant before it even has a chance to grow.. and taproots don't always grow straight out, some do curl.... look... plants aren't as dumb as we make them out to be... they do know what they are doing...let it do its job

do you think the banana method is true...

not saying it doesn't work, but don't you think it might be coincidence...

i haven't used the method yet, but i haven't grown a male yet and gotta consider that luck... i would like to say its my germinating method...but i doubt it

i use the banana method every time i decide to grow again but I think I do it different then everyone but i still end up with all females.

Step one, get a banana

Step two, go buy feminized seeds

Step three, eat banana

Never fails i have never had a male

i've read a little about it, but there are some who say its bullshit...

so check this out...can i say that my method of germinating makes females since i haven't had a male yet...

i'm being honest...but i think this is just luck...i'm not gonna lie, i haven't changed it since the first time i found out i had females, but i do it just like an athlete won't change his lucky underwear.... you don't know if it works, but you feel like if you change anything, you'll get screwed

so in saying that...i would keep doing it if it works for you and makes you more confident....

lol no my friend...it def WORKS....ive used it countless times,and always a 100% female ratio..also there was a guy on ic mag who used for YEARS,and always had 100% female ratios....in fact,there is a product called sensa soak which is used by pro breeders in cali..and the mail ingredient is in fact ETHYLENE ACID.....thats no coincidense..ive used it on several strains,including LOWRYDERS...and had 100% female ratios..thats why i perosnally HATE famel seeds.....how do you think THEY get female seeds..they apply coilliodal silver solutions to the seeds..same thing we us,except we stoners just use old banan peels!!!:fire:

dude, chill.

deep breaths.

ok, now we can begin.

first of all, why did you throw your plants in the garbage? regardless, don't do that again. it's not good for them.

They're only a couple of days old, they don't need any nutrients right away, so chill on the superthrive.

Use the T5 lights you have to veg them obviously. reason? because it's the right spectrum vs. the wrong spectrum. why would you veg with a couple 2700k CFLs when you have T5s waiting? common sense, bro, c'mon.

85-92 isn't all that hot, just get a fan blowing and you'll be cool.

hope this helps.

ps. you don't need pictures, everyone knows what a seedling looks like, don't waste 20 bucks on a shite camera

Solid man, glad to hear you have it all sorted out. I'd let them all veg for a couple of weeks then put them into flower unless you're limited on space/light or something (like me, i'm doing 12/12 from seed). You can take clones once they start to show sex.

On a side note, wtf is the "hopod"? I'm white, middle class, and from Canada
