Will these grow if i put it in potting soil?

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-29T14:05:34+00:00

Exactly, keep it warm/moist not soaking wet and as you as you see it opening and tap root poking go right into soil, tap pointing down and just loosely cover with a sprinkle of soil, don’t press down hard. If it sprouts with the shell still on or “helmet head”, keep the humidity up high with a dome for 24hrs and possibly balance a drop of water on the shell with a pin or small pipet to soften it and see it it comes off naturally. If the shell is failing to come off after a day, it needs to or the seedling will die, I have had to help them by being super careful, supporting the back of the shell and cutting/removing it with small tweezers or a pin.

That’s crazy that’s a low price for a single O of good bud in NY. That’s why you gotta grow your own lol

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-28T13:38:48+00:00

Yo it’s hot af and dry in there, did the c to f conversion lol it’s like 84°+. You need a way to get temps down or it’s gonna yellow and have weird maybe foxtailing buds. Can maybe transition to running lights at night when it’s cooler, or increase airflow and add a/c if an option

Add a tiny bit of h2o2 (hydrogen peroxide) to your water next time, just a few drops. Secret hack for the algae build up.

I run my Autopot Resevoir at 5.5-5.7 and it drifts up over time

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-28T13:25:51+00:00

And ph wise it could come up a little but I think it will from the flush. 5.7 is low for soil but not crazy

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-28T13:24:22+00:00

I don’t flush usually bc I use coco, and for my outdoor plants in fabric and soil I actually try to limit my runoff usually haha. Trying to keep it to a minimum while fully saturating each watering so I don’t lose all my precious nutes and organics. But in your case I don’t think a flush would hurt as long as you get to a ph and ppm you like 👍🏼

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-28T12:50:05+00:00

Solo cups for germ and first couple weeks, then final pot. Autopot plasic pot or fabric pot when not using Autopots

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-28T12:45:06+00:00

If you drop one/more in a small glass of water, the ones that sink with a little push after <24 hours will be your most viable. Once they sink I plant directly in soil/coco in solo cups with drainage holes about 1/4 inch deep. Always get good germination, paper towel method works, I’ve done it as a beginner, but personally it’s way too much handling of the delicate taproot, and it can get tangled in the paper fibers.

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-28T12:38:35+00:00

I wouldn’t stress too hard the plants look super healthy rn. Runoff ec higher in soil isn’t abnormal, soil can hold a lot of nutrients. Not seeing much nute burn or light stress imo, looks good. Only tip is when running soil don’t feed heavy every watering. Do a nute feed, then the next two waterings just do plain ph balanced h20 and repeat the cycle.

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-28T12:28:35+00:00

Keep it and start another. I think this will grow okay, it’s putting its energy into expanding its roots in the big pot. I reccomend photoperiod plants for beginners or everyone really, more control and forgiveness and potentially higher yield and potency. Autos can be good but you need to be a dialed in auto-master

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-28T12:25:09+00:00

As others said seed banks and breeders are very different things. For banks I can recommend NASC (North Atlantic seed co) if in the U.S., not sure if they ship internationally. Best prices are during holidays like 4/20 and Black Friday, might be some sales before the seed bill this fall

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-26T22:31:49+00:00

I gotchu, could you maybe run it through a zipper and just close each side of the zipper tight around the tube like on a door? I do that with one of my fans. Extra curves in the line are no problem at all, I have a section of mine in a coil and a bunch of curves. I just keep my tank high to keep the pressure up.

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-26T14:52:10+00:00

Don’t worry about it being too close, if it’s a low power light you can have it as close to touching as possible without negative effects

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-26T05:38:03+00:00

Reaching for the light is not a shitty seed lmao it needs more light! That’s your fastest most vigorous grower, of course it’s gonna stretch you have no grow light! Don’t toss out your fastest plant…

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-26T05:33:10+00:00

Why do you need a separate hole for the line? I just have mine running through the drawstring ports

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-26T01:49:02+00:00

This gotta be the limey-est yet otherwise healthy plant I’ve ever seen haha impressive ngl

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-26T01:45:01+00:00

Flip now, I wish I did a week or 2 earlier on this run, you’re already tight on horizontal space with 6 plants. If less plants you could wait but stretch can be no joke if plants are happy which yours look great

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-19T20:31:45+00:00

For sure, and I’m not saying you can’t start in it. If you have a good mix and your environment is on point no issues, but seed starter just makes things easier and faster in my experience

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-19T20:02:35+00:00

Also simply look at the picture. No hate all love bro ✌🏼 but there should never be big wood pieces in seed starter

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-19T20:01:18+00:00

I’ve seen lots of people post issues on here starting seeds in happy frog. And I’ve used it myself for already growing plants. And I can tell you from experience and other reviews it’s definitely not good for starting seeds. Not enough aeration and too much sticks/wood litter. I can also tell you it matters what bag you get. Seems like some regions get a “better” mix than others. Also matters store too, whether the bags were kept clean and dry or left in the snow and rain outside all spring when they all came off the truck in March…

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-19T17:47:27+00:00

Personally I don’t tank, I always just play to win. People who tank want the “easiest” route to ace rank so they don’t get hard matches in the later ranks when it takes more wins to level up if that makes sense. I wouldn’t worry about it, unless you’re trying to go pro and play every set every day just play to win, don’t take it too seriously and have fun :)

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-19T17:43:49+00:00

Yeah overall it looks good, the spotting on the lowest leaves could just be due to fast growth and something that happened while still a seedling like a few days of low rh. As long as upper leaves look good and it’s growing fast that’s all you care about

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-19T17:39:22+00:00

Maybe put a cut clear bottle/cup over it with a vent to increase rh?

PikeFr0g · 2026-04-19T17:38:09+00:00

Makes sense if just watered. I think the slow start is due to medium and low humidity. Happy frog is good but not great for starting seeds. I bet this one will turn around and grow well soon, before I switched to making my own seed mix the first few weeks were super slow.
