Huge problem! Please help :(

[Jakeee]

Hello! I have a huge problem I bought seeds from nirvana shop(10 kaya gold) and germinated them. After germing, I planted the seeds. But they are not sprouting! I have grown 2 plants before(they died) but at least they sprouted! What could I be doing wrong? Here a picture of my set up. Please leave any feedback! I appreciate it!

You don't need lights yet, your container needs to be light proof, and your soil is probably too dry. That soil don't look right.

You can dig them up and see what's going on. They're more resilient than you think. I just threw a freebie in some dirt that I forgot/didnt care much about in the paper towel and it was over 2" before I remembered. Go excavating and see what the status is. I agree: that wood chip soil looks better suited for a hamster dwelling. I can't tell if its hardened peat, or what's going on there.. What type of soil?

 

[Jakeee]

Jiffy potting soil. I don't know why they aren't sprouting..

 

[Budoctor]

How many days has it been since u planted them

 

[Jakeee]

Last night. The first one that died was in the soil for about 2 days before I went digging around and found her dead

Jiffy potting soil. I don't know why they aren't sprouting..

Some analysis of the facts you've provided: you had 10 Kaya Gold seeds. You popped all of them with no issues.
You appear to be blasting a single still sub-terranean seed with multiple CFL's, which was sowed who knows how deep below the surface of that fairly dry Jiffy Potting soil. Unless you threw all 10 into that makeshift severed bottle container..
As gersman stated, you don't need those lights yet, but that's not your problem. If its been over a couple days, dig those things up and see what the story is. Seedlings aren't as fragile as you might think. I've popped hundreds and have zero issues these days. Just be careful, go in with some tweezers and get a visual on them. If you dig them up and they're healthy, no big deal. I personally have the best luck with domes until there about 1" out of dirt. Here's my latest seedling run showing the cup- domes. Seedlings prefer a high RH environment.

Dig up the rest and see what's going on. If they all popped before you planted, then your soil is possibly too dry. Re-plant closer to the surface and try some humidity domes.

I have pictures of the seeding. It's dead. Please go check out my more recent post to see the picture of the root it made. Maybe this could help you guys pinpoint a problem?

that was your first problem.
How did you germinate them?

 

[Jakeee]

Glass of water, then paper towell

Forget the paper towel, why people teach that, i will never know. Soak the seed for 12 hrs, then plant it. Push your finger in the moist soil down to your first knuckle.
drop seed in hole and cover, put it next to window. leave it alone for a few days and it should pop.

The seed popping isn't the problem. I can get the seeds to germinate and give me 1 inch roots. It's after I plant them: that's when I the problem. They aren't sprouting after I place them in soil! It's so frustrating!

right, when you take them out of the papertowel, you are probably hurting the fine hairs on the root. Plus, as others have said, your soil is very dry.

im with chuck on this one, i hate paper towels, glass of ph'd
h20, thwn plant

 

[Jakeee]

So water, then plant? That's it?

yep, I personally like putting them in a root riot.

 

[Budoctor]

How wet is the soil... dont drowned em

Next time use seed germination mix to start you seeds. They will have a very hard time sprouting in the soil mix you are using. Get a seed starting set up with a heat mat and domed containers and screw the paper towels, you'll be better off.

I just put em' in some "seed starter mix" and keep the top of the soil moist, not soaked, but MOIST at all times (spray 3-4 times a day) then go to subcools super soil thread and use his mix if you can for your transplant at week 3, I have had great results with it and they don't need nutes till flower time...good luck man..
