OK so I have made a few mistakes. First, I had a couple of the seeds upside down in the rockwool after germinating. Next, I left them in the clone box too long as I didn't read directions properly. Today I realized I put double the amount of water in the tub than I was supposed too, which means it had the wrong amount of grow and common mixed in. All 10 appears to still be alive, if not a little water logged.

Fortunately I had some Headband and found 5 seeds, so I germinated them in nothing but a napkin and tap water. They popped open well and I put them in organic soil. I put in only tap water and saw some mold and a few bugs show up. Plants still looked good so I did a translplant to hydro today. 3 of the 5 look great while 2 are going to be in the ICU for a while. Below are pictures.

Looking good so far, but I would suggest you cover those bottle bottoms. Light triggers roots to die, so clear bottle bottoms are bad. Slap some duct tape on them and future crisis will be averted. Also remember to check the top 2 inches for wetness before watering to avoid drowning your babies.

Best of luck on your grow.

Hey Chief, HMCS here good to have you with us. If anything, take some consolation that your mistakes are helping others, and hell there are more seeds out there lol!

Alright... pictures below are after transfer to producer today. Clean tub and nutrients... A couple you can see are struggling too... that is a result of how I got started, which was rocky. Starting to smell already so I threw on the filter... Smell gone
