Hi all,
I need some help (or perhaps a LOT of help.. depeneds on what you say).
I'll start from the start.... this is the 2nd lot of seeds that i have tried to germinate... the first set i tried in rockwool cubes in my clone box which was a miserable failure.
So then i tried to put the seeds into a rockwood slab on heatmat, but i think there ws too much water in the rockwood to heat it up properly so they went no-where in a big hurry..
So i threw it all out and started again with new seeds (dutch passion euforia and greenhouseseeds.nl church)
They sprouted in 24 hours using the normal plate, paper towel in a dark cupboard method.
Put them into little pots of cocopeat/cocohusk and within another 24/36 hours they sprouted into life.
I was as you can imagine after my first dismal effort... very happy indeed.
Well that was a week ago.... they have grown a little, but now they are falling over, and certainly are not growing nice fan leaves like you see in the youtube time lapse videos .
I have attached pics for your perusal.
I don't think i am giving them too much water. admitantly i have been spraying the medium with a water bottle every day, but its not much and the soil is moist but not wet i would say. I have just been using water.
I have had a plastic dome over the top of them to keep the humidity in.
Is there anything I have done wrong from what you can see?
The light may have been a little far away, but i have seen pics of plants with stems that are VERY long indeed and still holding their own, where as mine seem to be about 2.5 inches and falling over and buckling. I have since placed a box under my heat pad as you can see from the pics in an effort to aleviate the problem.
they dont look healthy , and you can just tell that they're not amused, ive looked at them twice a day for 7-8 days now
As you can see i have tried to prop them up, but i dont hold out much hope for them, and they have been rather lethargic in their growing too i must admit, they sprouted up nice and fast but ever since that day they have pretty much slowed to nothing.
These sprouted up through the medium about a week ago.
Any help / guidance / assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Please help as i really am at a loss. I can cultivate clones no worries with minimal / no effort, but from seeds im a complete novice, and i dont want to waste any more money if i can help it.
btw.. there is no fan atm and they have been running on 24x7 lights on (2x 'grow-lux' fluros - they emit a purple light... not sure why.. but they do, clones love them, are they right for seedlings?)
Cheers...
