Dying Starter Leaf

I noticed the last couple days that one of my starter leaves are dying (right side of pic). It's still been growing fine on the other side but the right is all shriveled up and brownish grey. There is also growth happening forming the second set of nodes so I'm hoping this plant will stay alive. I'll post progress on her next Monday.

Purple Kush - Veg Week 0

Today marks vegetation week 0 for my Purple Kush seedling from Crop King Seeds. My other seedling didn't make it past germination so I'll only be planting one plant. I'm pretty sure this little girl will survive despite having a busted mouth piece.

Again... I have it planted in Miracle Grow's Enriched Potting Mix under three 26 watt (100 equiv, so 300w) 6500K CFLs for 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness.

Starter Leaves

One of my plants starter leaves are coming up now. I kind of damaged the mouth piece on it so it's hard to tell is she'll live or not. I have another seed still germinating which I'll probably plant tomorrow. It is currently under three 26 watt 6500K CFLs.

New Soil -- New Grow

I ended up getting rid of both my seedlings due to mold. I heard hydrogen peroxide works but it kills off all the other essential bacterias. I found this new product at The Grow Zone (forget what it's called) but it's supposed to work well and it's just like a nute you add to your water once a week.

I got a bag of Miracle Grow's Enriched Potting Mix (I was using Schultz Potting Soil Plus last time) and I've actually used it quite awhile ago and had great results with it... so I'm trying it out again. Hopefully I won't let it get too damp this time.

I germinated 2 Purple Kush seeds last night and they already both popped in less than a day. I'll leave them germinating for another 2-3 days before I trans-plant them.

Starter Leaves // Mold Problem

The starter leaves showed up on one of my seedlings today. I'm going to leave it for another day or two before I start the vegetation cycle count to get more growth on the other seedling. I also have a bit of a mold problem. I had really high humidity (kept water in the trays in the box) so mold formed. A good thing about this is that it means the soil is good grow medium. I'll let it dry up for a few days then just scrape it all off with my fingers.

Seedling Shells Removed

My Purple Kush seedlings grew quite a bit last night... I ended up removing the shells today by hand. Give it another day and a half and I should be seeing some starter leaves.

Planted Purple Kush Seedlings

I just finished planting two Purple Kush seedlings. I plant them taproot deep and leave the seed shell above soil. I've just had better survival rates doing it this way... less chance of drowning or rotting. I planted it in Schultz Potting Soil Plus from Walmart and placed under three 26watt 1600 lumen 6500K CFLs for 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness.

1 More Day of Germination

 All 3 of my feminized Purple Kush seeds have taproots growing now. I'm going to leave it for one more day to get a better root before planting it.

I noticed one of my seedlings taproot is a little deformed... it's just really fat in the center of it. Not sure if this is good or bad... or if it even matters.

Popped Seeds

I germinated a few Purple Kush last night and all 3 seeds popped today. I'm going to leave them for longer this time to get a good taproot so hopefully they'll survive. I'll leave it for at least another 2 to 3 days yet before planting the seedlings.

How to Germinate Cannabis -- Sprouting Marijuana

Dead Seedlings // Last 2 Seeds // Crop King Customer Satisfaction

Well my last plants ended up dying... I turned the fan off and the box got way too hot for how small the plants were and they dried up. I germinated my last 2 seeds and they are now completely submerged in the soil and should sprout anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks.

I also contacted Crop King Seeds about the problems I've been having with their seeds and Kyle (the owner) agreed to send me a free feminized 10 pack of Purple Kush seeds, worth $110 without gst or shipping. So I got about a $150 deal for $105 spent. Talk about custom satisfaction... I was expecting a grinder or fridge magnet or something... I added Purple Kush seeds for sale through Crop King Seeds on the right of this site.

No More Shell

I ended up planting my seedlings tail deep in the wet soil (Schultz Potting Soil Plus). A bit of growth happened over night and I cracked off the seeds shell just now. I have a feeling the plant on the right (pic below) will die but I don't see why the one on the left won't make it.

Replaced Charcoal Filter

I went to dust out my charcoal filter and the damn thing ripped in half. It was definitely at the end of its life. I had 2 replacements in a bag in my fridge so I popped a new one in. Now the box is ready for another grow.

Planted Seedlings

 My seeds have been germinating at a faster rate than I had originally thought, so I ended up planting a couple of the seeds.

 These are the two seeds I choose to plant.

I planted them in Schultz Potting Soil Plus that I had bought from Walmart. They were placed in a grow box under three 26 watt (100 watt equivalent, so 300w) 6500K CFLs doing 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. (It runs between 2AM and 8PM)

All Seeds Germinated

I just checked my seeds again and all 3 have germinated... I'll leave them for another day or two to get some tail root growing.

Happy Canada Day all you Cannabis Connoisseurs

Happy 148th birthday Canada!

Also... 2 of my 3 seeds already popped. I'm going to leave them in wet paper towel in the dark for 2-4 more days to get some tail growth happening. I'll be planting the germinated seeds between Friday and Monday.
