I buried it about a half inch down…maybe 1/4 in

Hmm…
I’m not calling you a liar but I’ve started thousands of seeds over the years and I’ve never seen one only grow a half inch tall with cotyledons fully open like that.

You mean that’s typically an indication of it being buried more than half an inch down?

I don’t know. Either way it doesn’t matter!

Maybe you don’t know what an inch looks like, ….

Def didn’t drop them more than half an inch into the soil. Could it be from too much PPFD? I have them in the tent with other plants that are further along vegging under a 200w led but these cups are off to the side. Last I checked PPFD was around 250 but I’ve since shaded them a bit and brought it down to roughly 150 PPFD.Maybe you don’t know what an inch looks like, ….

I have a few more in a cup next to this one waiting to pop so I guess I’ll see if this helps…

I’m leaning toward this being an issue of temp/humidity shock. I had successful runs last year and looking back at the photos I can see that I had a warm humidifier right next to the cups so once the domes were removed I probably maintained a similar heat/RH spectrum for them, minimizing any shock…and they didn’t die.
I’ve moved the warm humidifier next to these cups but no domes. We’ll see what happens…

No it’s not from too much PPFD, maybe when you watered it pushed the seed down deep or something. Either that or you re-buried which is no big deal.

Strange. Didn’t re-bury and I swear it was half an inch down. Still looks the same today . Got another one germinating so if it doesn’t look different tomorrow I’ll prob pull it up and drop it in a cup of water while I plant the new one. Believe it or not I have actually revived seeds recently that don’t do well at the start by pulling them out of the dirt and dropping them in water for a day or two…then putting them back in the dirt. Not a 100% survival rate but a worthwhile last ditch effort to save a seed.

This has probably been asked.. I did the read everything.. do your cups have good drain holes..?
jimbonorman
Well-Known Member
Yep. I don’t drown them anyway. Typically use a syringe with 10 or 20 mL at a time every 3-4 days or so for the first couple weeks

If you have drain holes and humidity isn't to high then cups shouldn't be an issue.. I use cups as well.. here's afew of mine from a couple months ago..
