You dont need a dome for seedlings, just clones, start them on root riot cubes, then, when roots come from the bottom just put the block in your preferred medium. simple.

Not sure but it looks like two of the ones with tags germinated, fell over and died off. Maybe damping off, Pythium? Are the seeds fresh?

Dude, sow the seeds directly into Dixie cups that have drain holes in them and filled with cheap Black Gold Seedling Mix. Do not overwater. Place under a weak light and voila. A seedling in a few days. No heat mat needed. A dome is okay until they emerge and then lose it.

yes the seeds r fresh

 

[Merlin1147]

So those two germinated and died? I’m with @hotrod, straight in seedling mix. Probably those cubes are way too wet.

Foolproof.

10 for 10 in 3 days last time.

Black Gold Seedling Mix has zero nutrients. Keep it simple. A small cheap bag will last most hobby growers a long time.

do I need to grow the plant in soil ,, after it's germinated in Black Gold or can I put it in hydroponic system ??
also where do I get the Black Gold mix ,, U think I could find it in Ebay??

Rinse the roots in tepid running water and place in your net basket. Fill around it with whatever. Be sure to use a large net basket. Those small ones look big enough with a seedling but that won’t last long.

Do this gently and no problems.

I got some Black Gold Germinating soil,, put White Berry in one n Kalashnikova in the other. I put the soil in the small pots,, but I put the soil in lightly. so lets see what happens couple days without the dome n then a few with the dome,, now I haven't put any water in the soil,, yet ,, what do ya say ???

Those in the first picture died because you're keeping things too wet. That is dampening off. Get rid of the dome. You don't need it.

 

[Kingrow1]

No dome

 

[hotrodharley]

Again on no dome. Very little benefit with huge risk of damping off.

A lot of people are suggesting the ways they germinate.

How about you describe to ya exactly how you are trying to germinate. Every little step

Temp inside the dome, heat mat, if using heat mat is the probe in the soil or in the air?, how much water, how often did you water? Did the the plants sprout, shoot up, then fall over? Give us more details.

Let’s try and figure out what’s causing your problems instead of suggesting other ways to germinate ?
