HiHello
been lurking but the helmet head and seed direction is something I have just been through
so I thought I would pass on my 2 cents
This is my first grow in 35+ years, first hydro ever
But have just germinated 3 cks blueberry's and 2 of the 3 were helmet heads
I call them blue b1, blue b2 and blue b3
well blue b1 was ok
blue b3 was a helmet head but I used the water droplets and tooth picks to free it. (think it was angry bird that mentioned that
It was blue b2 that was the problem helmet head
both blue b2 and blue b3 were the membrane thing! above is a picture of blue b2
here is blue b2 after I removed the membrane
And here is blue b2 today
For me the morel of the story is (from my point of view)
- I placed the germinated seeds in the slit rapid rooter to close to the top
1/8-1/4", from now on it will be 3/8"-1/2" closer to 1/2"
- I put the seed in the rr(rapid rooter) with the tap root pointing down. I think that maybe wrong
will try it in the future with the tap root up and maybe deeper based on how long the tap root is.
- I think the part about the seed turning helping to get the seed cover off maybe a good observation.
So that is my 2 cents on my first post.
420 is a fun place btw
