Hey,
This is going to my first attempt ever at growing.
I germinated 3 seeds in a dvd-box with moist towelettes. In about 2 days they showed about a 1cm long white root. I placed these seeds then in 3 plastic cups, where I put just 1-2cm of water, some Expanded Clay Aggregate and then the dirt on top of it. The clay is supposed to hold the moisture. I also watered the cups with about 10ml water before I put them in my tent. Then I put them in the tent under a 400w SpNa light. About 2 hours after I put them there I noticed the temparature is getting far too hot, about 50Celsius (or so my thermometer told me, don't know if it was that accurate) after that two hours I raised the lamp about 40cm, put a fan in there and started cooling the tent through the window and the temparature has been around 30C since then. Now after two days they still havent sprouted, and I cannot see any root inside the cups (the cups are see-through, but when in tent I taped some paper on them so the light wont penetrate the sides. Actually one did sprout relatively fast, but it is only like 0.01mm tall and very yellowish-pale and hasn't grown since then. I watered them with about 10ml of water yesterday.
So, could this 2 hours of very hot climate have scorched my seedlings already? Or any info you have that may contribute is very VERY welcome! As I said this is my first grow and I would like to do well.
Thanks in advance!
