They appeared in ever aspect, mature. Looked like any other seed, but yeah they were old. Could of been harvested October of 21 or spring of that year. I actually grew a bag seed that made it and was a great plant. Did not get to finish it due to complications that gave me no choice, no big deal, I am all good now though.
Both, the soil can kind of grab or hold or drag the shell as the plant emerges through it. Also the leaves growing puts pressure on the shell/membrane until they bust free. Cannabis seeds should not be planted deeper than 1/2 inch. I usually go a bit deeper than 1/4in I'm guessing. Seeing basically a seedling in your paper towel makes me think the seed spends all its energy getting to that size never establishing roots in any medium than it has no energy left to do that whe it is finally planted.
My recent just showed plantation on 4th day and thriving second set of leaves today, 6 days later. I know I would see faster growth with more air flow and high 70’s temps but cannot afford what I want just yet. Doesn’t it have energy the day it is exposed to light? Roots take time to develop tugor too. Can always show what it looks like when I transplant tomorrow or 5 days from now to see how the lower half looks. Just a container to let it root so you don’t get salt buildup in the 5 gal for the 2 or 4 weeks it will take to build a network of roots to counter that, or simply buy you time to get the container ready if you hand prepare your coco.
I should be more expressive in start of threads what the inquiry was for, I do not need help germinating but was defeding my method to comments speaking against it, because I just do not have issues with it.
Yeah I don't t know man I've never seen that. Anyone else you know that grows? Let them try a couple and see if they do the same?
I am out of those seeds lol. We’ll never know I guess haha. Will try the other method too though sometime, little do I know it could work better, just going with the “if it ain’t broken do’t fix it” method.
Your method of germination and waiting that long to plant it in the medium is extremely stressful for a seedling. Perhaps that strain doesn’t like that much stress. Also in one of the pictures it looks like the seed membrane is still on the cotyledons.
It is not, and mind you I tried planting when the root was sticking out a little with the seed almost amputating it. No growth. Got better results this time. Now I did not plant sideways and down a little but really, I should call this the germination challenge lol send you the seed who ever get a plant wins a shitty plant no one wanted anyway.
Matter of fact, lmfao, THOSE are the problems I DO get when I try that method! to plant it before it sprouts all the way. Pretty sure the threads I read regarding membranes stuck and what not were because of them popping to fast.
You’re totally right. Manhandling a sprouted seed with a 3 inch tap root and sprouted cotyledons and then planting it in a pot isn’t stressful at all…
First time I suspected that but this time EC .2 in coco and feed is .4EC. Same exact phenomina with this same batch of seeds. Open for critisism, will defend my methods to offer how I differ but non urgant, recreational thread if you had this phenomina
I would not be feeding them until the first true leaves are open. It looks really wet to me as well. Good luck...
It’s coco, it’s meant to stay wet and it has no nutrients except what you feed it.
If manhandling to you is let it squirm through a surface then gently placed into a media which with my expirience is the growth spurt phase of which it tells you visually “I am happy and love my surroundings!” lol. This time around, I could not of done better and they just ain’t right. I am lower level expirience which means all I need to be working with are plants ready to be worked with.
