I popped one of my ILGM Super Skunk seeds into water 48 hours ago. Yesterday it had a tiny (about 1/8 inch) sprout beginning to appear. Today there are four white growths coming out of the seed. I’m not sure if this is some kind of siamese situation or if the tail and the sprout just decided to explode into growth overnight. Even if it’s the latter, what are the two white growths in the middle?!? None of my other seeds did anything like this - they simply sprouted a tail and then the plant popped up a few days later, after being put in soil.
the freshly hatched seed has ONE tap root,TWO beginner leaves which open and keep growing…AND…THE TUFF MEMBRANE THAT COVERS THE SLEEPING BABY UNTIL IT HATCHES.
Make sure you carefully remove the now useless husk of the seed. Carefully
I had a seedling do the same thing, changed my soil and added a humidifier 2 days ago and she is just now getting her 2nd set of leaves. So most definately humidity is key. She is 20 days old
@Psu8286 i dont have exact figures but yes in general you want higher humidity during veg and lower humidity during flower. ideal temp depends on a humidity range. vapor pressure deficit, search this forum for it
Well, 9 days later and nothing came up out of the soil. I also accidentally knocked over the cup this morning, and saw the seed lying there - it didn’t look good. It has shriveled up to half the size it was and is kind of tough feeling - not quite hard, but getting there. Like a stiff leather.
I don’t know if it was too dry, too wet, too cold or too hot. I took photos for people to see, though:
The soil is Fox Farms Happy Frog. The pH is 7.0. The temperature was 75-80 degrees Fahrenheit and I was doing a light mist of water 3 times a day. This is the same method I used for seeds I germinated 3 months ago, and 3 out of 4 of those sprouted just fine. As the days went on with no sprout appearing, I did try with and without a humidity dome to see if it would make any difference.
Yeah, that’s my fault. I water my established plants with pH 6.5 water. I know the pH doesn’t matter at the stage where the seed “pops”, so I was using plain 7.0 water for that, and continued to do so for the sprouting stage.
