Hey, I used to grow plants a few years ago, and am now starting again.. my problem: I have planted probably 10 germenated seeds over the last month, (indoors) under my old lizzards light (The tank their in stays at about 75 degrees) and I always make sure the dirts very moist. None of them grew, and they all came out with the same resault after digging them up. a limp brownish whitish root... And in some of the pots I didn't even find evidence that a germanated seed was even in it. (which I knew there was) Anyone know whats going on? -My guess would be the light?
ya man it sounds like the light is the problem.... u sould get a few more seeds and germinate them again and put them in there own seperith pot... a small cup works well. and go buy a couple cfl to get them to sprout they sould sprout anytime from 1 day to a week at most. id recoment the 65 watt cfl to hang over they top otf the plants and get a few more 40 watt cfl for the sides try that and tell me how it goes for ya... good luck
The light shouldn't affect a seeds sprouting my guess is the soil you used. But a reptile sun light definitely wont grow ya weed. I have read that people use the uv bulbs for supplemental light though. As for soil if ya can find a hydro shop they can hook ya up with something nice. I use Happy Frog but you have tons of choices.
Throw the seeds on a cup of water and check every day for tap root. As soon as it's 1/4" long, take the seed out of the cup, with care, and plant it root downwards in some nice soil. Done.
