Hi there,
i am a first time grower
i`ve received 15 seeds from nirvana shop 5 white widows and 10 freebies
i`ve killed 1 white widow and 4 freebies while learning to germinate and grow cannabis
one freebie is doing great and it reached the 5th set of leaves now
and another 2 freebies still popping till now after germinating and putting them in soil a week ago
when germinating them i soaked them in a cup of mineral water till they sank then used a paper towel method till it showed about 1 inch taproot then transplanted to my soil mix in a plastic cup
the soil is a mix of perlite and compost and peat moss and a bit of sand and mud and i added a little dolomite lime to adjust the ph mixed it a week before adding germinated seeds to soil
water ph is between 6.5 - 7
light is UFO LED 180W + 32 CFL and will add another 105W CFL when flowering
the oldest seed which is 5 set of leaves i burnt it when it was a seedling while adding 20.5.5 nutes but i flushed it the second day when i realized that the leaf tips turned yellow and now it is alive and kicking
after a month i popped another 3 seeds 2 unknown freebies and one white widow
i soaked the white widow cup by mistake and tried to transplant it to another larger pot to avoid root rot due to the huge amount of water
while doing that, the medium collapsed coz it was full of perlite and i found my self holding the whole seedling with its root without any soil
i digged the larger pot and flushed the root with H2O2 diluted with water then i added it to the soil, the root was white and no signs of any rot
the second day the stem wilted so i added suger diluted to water and h2o2 and add some of it to the soil coz i heard that sugar water is ok for transplanting shock.
after that i burried more amount of wilted stem to help it stand and not to wilt
now it is the 4th day and it is the same i moved it away from the direct light to help it build the roots again and to stabilize in the new soil, however.
one of the cotyledons tip is turning to black green
so i dont know what else to do...i am watching it closely like every 3 to 6 hours i check it
the other 2 newly germinated freebies are ok but the are waaaaaaaaaay slow growing
i will add some pics later
and will update as soon as possible
