I had one of those. I opened it with a sterilized pair of surgical scissors. Shes growing fine now. Give it a few days first.

yeah i will, i think i found the problem, i didnt plant her deep enough, so she automatically grew a certain height but popped out of the soil before she should have, i planted my other ones deeper.

well i opend up the leaf and took off the brown tip thing. I know you guys said wait but the true leaves were already sticking out of the side and i didnt want her to die. I took clean tweezers and very carefully removed the brown tip, within minute she opened up and is looking a lot better, but she has stretched because i didnt plant her deep enough.

ha yeah i have tried to lst before but i found that all that work gets ruined if its a male. so i will keep 4 plants very small and if any turn out to be female i will repot them bigger and take clones from her

well i have found out that i have more plants than i origianlly intended. I have one cup with 3 sprouts growing, and another one with 2. what happened was i had about 4 seeds that would not germinate so i just threw all 4 into one cup hoping that ONE of them would sprout, now 3 out of the 4 sprouted. the same thing happened to another cup with 2 seeds both sprouting, none of these seeds were showing tap roots and i assumed i had killed them or they were bad seeds.

So... i transplanted all of my sprouts into their own cups.. the only problem is that they are very young but i couldnt wait any longer or id risk their roots becoming entangled i hope that they all make it.... ill post pics of what my eventual setup will be.

hey guys and gals i just have a quick question about spectrums, i know that 5000-6500k is better for veg but i only have 69w of 5000-6500k light available, would it be more beneficial to have 120w of 3000k light for my young plants? or maybe 46w 6500 and 40w 3000k? just wondering, it doesn't seem like my plants are getting enough light,,(they are raised to within inches of lights)

DISASTER struck this morning, i woke up and as usual i checked on my plants before going to class (8:00 class) and two of my plant were totally drooped over on the soil and looked dead, they had brown stems that were skinny and limp. i thought they had some how died, i was so devastated but more so worried because i didnt know why, i didnt want my others to have the same fate.
The previous night before going to sleep i added one 23w 2700k cfl, i managed to get a Y splitter to fit and i thought it couldn't hurt to add more light. i thought 102w would be better than 69 but i think i was wrong. i spectulate that the extra light gave off enough heat to damage my young ones some how. before i slept my temp was 74.6 f. NOT HOT!

needless to say i hurried about trying to help them survive, i lowered the plants 1 inch and watered them a little before i left to go to class. When i got back today i was happy to see my seedlings were alive and well, tall and green.......YEAH!!!!! - i narrowly avoided a heart break.--=-=-=- pics later

whew, thats crazy man that one bulb made that much difference. get some good ventilation in there

yeah i got 2 fans, exhaust and intake, the exhaust is right up to the lights and the temp only said 74.6 - but i think that the proximity is what made the difference, cause when i lowered them they seemed to be fine. i also think they got dried out cause the extra heat. but they are doing great now.
