My Info: * Hydro or Soil (Fox Farm Ocean Forest) * Type of light? (50 WATT HPS) * Atmosphere Conditions (75-80 Degrees, Humidity 20% or less) * Waterings (Tap water left out a few days) * PH Range (No idea) * Nutrients/Supplements (Was told soil had plenty) * Pictures if possible! (Just a pile of dirt) * Design and Dates (Germinated for 5 days, seed cracked but root didn't come far out. Planted it Sunday night and today still hasn't sprouted. Have been watering it regularly) * Other Any other information you can think of not included by these subjects. (Just trying to grow one plant in my closet for personal use. I know 50 WATT HPS is weak but like I said just want one plant and it doesn't have to be top quality bud just something half decent and if it works out I may upgrade my setup later) Should I be worried that my seed hasn't sprouted yet. I may have put it a little deep I am not sure. I tried to do 1 seeds length down but I think it may have been a little more since the seed was smaller than I expected. This is my first time growing any plant let alone a marijuana plant so any help is appreciated. Thanks. Also forgot to mention seeds are Feminized Big Bang that I got online.
Make sure you dont over water your seedlings, they do not need much, also sometimes seeds are just bad. But also sounds like you could have over watered, but if it didnt germinate properly or very good then it could just sadly be a dud. But I would give it another week before tossing, if you planted it deep, and it needs to grow its tap root still it could take a while.
First off, germing is simple and a bitch.... Put them in wet napkins and in tupperware, and forget them in dark place for 3 days atleast. My first few germing attempts were screwd by seeds just barely popping out. I now let the little root get about 1/4" long out of the seed then plant that down. 50 watts is really really low....you shoud get a 4 pack or clfs for about 12 bucks and some splitters and a power strip wich should cost you less than $30.
yea I was thinking of adding a CFL to my 50 WATT HPS. I am not very handy so ideally I just wanted one CFL I could hang over the bar in my closet next to my 50 WATT HPS. How cheap could i get this done? I just want one Bulb and whatever that thing that holds the bulb is called with a nice long cord to plug in. Doesn't need to be very strong because like I said its just one plant and I have the 50 WATT HPS already to help. Plus this is all second proiority to the seed actually sprouting. I had the seed in paper towel sealed in a plastic bag in an empty dark closet for 5 days and after 1 day I got the little crack, but It never really came far out and after 5 days I just planted it.
You need to test your h20 water ph or use distalled water. When watering a seedling a table spoon every day is enough. Leave the light on for 18/6 some may say 24/0. You can buy a ph test kit at walmart for $10. Some reports on here say that foxfarm ocean forest soil runs hot and will burn seedlings, others say no. Sprouts can take 2 days to 14 to come through especially if you burried it a little deep. Get some cfl for extra light,
