Does anyone know why the seedlings sometimes won't cast off their shell? Are there environmental causes? I've never had it happen before.
I totally agree with that. I have had a few dramas with seed shells not shedding. I wasn't putting them down deep enough . I use coco too, which I don't think puts a lot of resistance against the seeds shell. Not like soil.I've noticed that if I don't plant the seeds deep enough some will need help casting the shell. I think it's the seedling moving through the medium that helps shed the shell, so if it's not deep enough................ But the occasional seed even planted deep will do this too, but not near as many in my experience. Sometimes adding a bit more coco or whatever when you see the shell still attached just coming through the surface will work to help shed the shell.
Hello Dubi, Thank you for the reply. I have another question that I really need help with. How long should a Panama grown indoors, under 600 watts of CFL lights be flowered for ? It states that it flowers in 9-12 weeks, so I was thinking about 10.5 weeks ? I really need to know, so that I can start to flush at the right time. I believe that it is a green pheno, but it does have some pink pistils. In your opinion do you think 10.5 weeks is long enough ?Welcome mcoocoo,
Panama works great in a wide range of temps, from quite high outdoor summer temps to colder conditions at the end of flowering.
Recommended temperatures to achieve the best outcome are around 25-27ºC during the day and a bit lower 22-24ºC during the night. But many growers have finished her in colder outdoor conditions with great results.
Hope it helps!
