wyattwelding101 First grow guy here too!

papabear Excellent progress! I have been growing for years and I am trying this strain for the first time. Extremely difficult to germinate and get a good strong sprout. I’m a week into my germination and only 2/4 seeds made it. My goal is to graft it with a few other strains I have growing currently to create my own strain.

iHendew @papabear I thought it was just me! This seed took forever to pop. I thought it was a dud at first lol. Took like 4-5 days

papabear Definitely not the only one. I tried everything I’ve ever known to get these seeds to pop. It’s been driving me crazy. I got mine from the only reputable source that has the original landrace strain. I reached out to them and they helped me figure it out. I live in high North America so it’s more difficult to grow.

BobbyGrowMoBack Next time wait longer to transplant, doing it to early definitely hurts more then helps. Plus it’s easier to fix problems with less soil or medium. Respectfully

iHendew Makes sense but the roots had made it to the bottom of the original little planter and was hitting the bottom so that’s why I transplanted. The leaves had turned yellow before this tho.

BobbyGrowMoBack Ok. Roots hitting the bottom is ok and not a sign to transplant. If the leaves was yellowing, don’t transplant a sick plant it adds another element to something already wrong. 5gals is a big step out of a planter. Your next grow I’ll walk you through it. Switch to coco instead of soil and I’ll get you plants that look like mine.

@eaegifts At this stage I use a 60ml syringe and lift to see if it’s heavy with water. I should’ve mentioned the other day that both under and over watering show similar symptoms so it’s a great idea to get a idea of the pot weight.

iHendew The pot is definitely dry and no water is present. Maybe I’m just giving way too much water when I am feeding but right now I’d say it’s definitely dry

@eaegifts Yea perhaps that’s the issue, try less and make sure your rh is high around 65% at least.

@eaegifts Looks a bit overwatered, considering elevating her and holding off on water a few days 👍🏾

iHendew Hmm. I’ve been watering every 2-3 days. I’ve only watered once I noticed the soil dry but I’ll maybe hold off another day once I notice that. Thank you for the input! @eaegifts

budbrother417 Only water when the plant asks for it. Watch the leaves they will talk to you. Yours are saying too much water because they are curling down instead of reaching for the light. Use a spray bottle in this stage and get the soil super damp not drenched. She will bounce back just don’t water her and let the pot completely dry

RoMag Hey Hon: Just imagine what she will look like in 20, 30, and 63 days. Hindu Kush nice choice. Grow good and strong.

iHendew @romag I can’t wait! Ironically I ordered a Runtz Muffin seed and they sent me the Hindu Kush seed free. This is my first grow so I wanted to try the free seed first lol. The ironic part is my nickname is Hendew so the Hindu seed just felt right

RoMag Hen: It’s funny how the Universe comes together for us. HINT: I always try the free seeds first. I call them “Practice Beans.” Best advice: The less love and attention the better. I have killed more starters because I gave them: too much water, too much nutritious, too much of you name it! Just watch it grow, talk to it, send it good vibes!! Okay. Less is more than enough. Something to think about other in the not too distant future is watering from the bottom. This is just a germinated seed, but in the future. You have the water tray under the plant and container try watering from the bottom allowing the roots to seek out the water. (In the near future) Hen: Is this an auto or photo period of Hindu Kush? Do you know what you are going to do with this once it gets going? What is your next step or plan?
