Have I fucked up everything?

put clear plastic cups or plastic on top of your cups if you wo not want them drying out so fast while seeds germinate. i just pop seeds into soil thats wet throw a clear plastic cup on it and wait 3-5 days and bam miracle of life.

I just use a ziplock sandwich bag to make a dome over my cup. Keeps the moisture in and soil damp.

Thank you for all the good answers, i manage to have 24-25 celsius and 45-50% humidity. 5 of them just popped out, the rest is still underground. The 5 ones are really really small just started to get the first small leaves ( I would picture but have a very bad camera), should i keep them on light or keep them digged? Also one of them got out, but still hasn't dropped shells, should I make it more moist or? Just asking, don't want to fuck it up again.

That's good. No leave them alone, the shell will come off on it's own or if you take it off wait a few days. Just put CFL over them and don't let them dry out.

Don't be afraid to start your plant under that mh bulb. It is not too powerful to start plants under, it is in my opinion the best way to veg indoors. Remember this plant grows wild outside under the sun! Much more powerful than an mh bulb. Make sure to hang that light at adequate height to deter excessive heat that can dry out your soil. Good growing!

Do not go crazy with the fan and point it on them drying out the soil either

Be careful when picking off shells it's so easy to pop the head of the plant right off.

I started my seeds in soil 100% natural way. I always burry them from fingertip to the first crease line or fold of finger. Because the more you water them upon their thirst, they'll sink deeper into the soil as underneathe them the soil softens creating weakness if holding the seed in place like an compacted person caught in an avalanche. Growth Is The Outcome. Distence of HIDs is very important. Any other complicated questions, I search or googit...

Cannabis seeds only have to be planted 1/4 to 1/8 inch deep mine barely go under the soil. Just make sure the root doesn't shoot strait up in the air then you did it too shallow lol.

They'll release the shell themselves. Also thats your opertunity to learn and understand for your future grows also to past or tranfer that knowledge. Even if it's one seed that sprouts LIGHTS ON 18/6 best time frame for us beginners. The other seeds will follow suit. Also, get your note book and MARK DOWN EACH SPROUT BIRTH. This will give you more gardening perception, perspective and maturity on growing... Good Growing.

@FrostyPelican It just need a slight pickup with the thing women take out they eyebrows (lol), I was very careful doing that haven't even touched the plant. I noticed CFL panel is too small for all the plants to fit, so I did put a 400W HPS now 80cm away from future plants. The temperature is ok on 24-25 celsius I am handling it as I moved them to a better regulated area, also humidity is good now just waiting for the others to get out (if they will).

@caherbgrower I've put 400 HPS 80cm away and it's doing good for now, I'm just afraid to put 600W MH right now not to burn them again, will go slowly when they get the first week I think then it would be good to switch to 600w mh starting at 90cm, then lowering if needed.

@mrblu I will remove the fan from pointing to soil, that's how it was until now but I have been checking every now and then how it is, and the soil is not wet not dry, middle. I was very careful picking those shells, they will be ok. I've taken care that all tap roots go down, thank you for the info.

@gardengardian7 Good information, thanks, changes my thinking on some things, I water them with a pippete easily to nothing gets damaged neither undigged. I will write down important things about them, great idea! =)

I'm using biobizz light mix for soil mixed with 30% fo coconut fibers, it has enought air for the young roots and water to go down.

Thanks once more everyone for help

The 400 is sweet just make sure you have nice heat exhaust and air flow slightly tilted up and between the bulb and the babies to help keep heat from them. And make you a little mist bottle to bless them here and there. With that good light make sure that your water mist dont stay heavy on the babies because the water can create heavier heat. Like hot water... just enough to cool them with oscillation type air flow... you know?! Just a method i use and im sure others do as well. But with all the great suppoertive growers alike you'll be all good.

Very true. I learned the hard way..........................I don't care how long it stays on now. I just let it do its thing.

@gardengardian7 Thanks for the info, I will try to find info how to make mist bottle now, there should be some info on forums. I have a pc vent 130m3/h 120mm blowing 10cm above plants, in the space between lamp and plants. I will take care not to spill water on plants leaves.

I don't know if that's the mist maker, but I have the thing like spray and inside water, did you mean that?

@unwine99 If I fucked it up, I will learn it hard way too, i feel you. I thought it would make trouble, so took it off very careful but... time will show if everything is ok.

Thanks

Yes simply a spray bottle with water... They love that ONLY IN VEG!!!

11/14 came out, 4 of them having great progress (3 of 4 are same strain and I only planted 3 of those strain, good one) other 7 are dropping their shells and giving their first leaves out, the rest 3 which didn't yet come out are on their way I see the shell breaking. Going good for now. Temperature is stead 24-25 celsius, humidity 42-47%. I spay them here are there every 2-3 hours. I'm thinking to give them root complex 1/2 dose in a few days when they grow a little. Going good for now, when I have time I will open journal and put some pics which i've taken these days. But it's very bad quality, 1mpx. Thanks for your help.
