Peter - awesome, you will need lots of plastic pots, good luck with seedlings.

Very ingenious to use that little rolling device. I must admit I'm a little envious of your how setup. Question, How long do you keep them in the tent? When do you place them in the sun?

Hi Yayi i keep them in the tent for approx 4 weeks after they have all pushed through then i open the tent doors to allow sunlight in. Then i put them in front of the window not in direct sun for a week then i ease them into direct sun.They cope pretty well.The main thing in my mind is the seedling mix get it right keep it damp all will go well for you.

Peter, wonderful system you have. You are going to be busy bees.

Peter,

Such a perfect system and so methodical. Very organized and well documented.

Wonderful.

Pete, Looking good. I believe you may be a perfectionist. Am I right?

HA HA no Rachel no i have a pretty strict boss checking me out he is only nine months old didnt you see him in one of the pics

I did see him. Maybe he's the perfectionist. Lol

Peter, I can only dream to be organized as you are. Very nice set up.

Hi Peter, nice and neat set up... and plenty of seeds there :)

Hey Pete, when you get a chance, can you tell me abit about your heat mat and light you use. Eg: what brand, where you bought it & maybe what sort of price to pay, and do you leave the heat pad on all the time or what?

I've never used a heat mat or lights for my seedlings, but I am starting to consider it. It would be good to have info relevant to Australia. Any info would be appreciated. :)

Hi Rachel this would be what i would buy now as a kit go toEbay put this number in the search( 322503201914 )it is $139.90 that is the works if you want to buy it piece at a time light (320773032247) $59.90 the mat (322143225090) $64.99 the tent (222530109888) $60.00 the kit has a led light now that is what im looking at buying. I leave the heat mat on 24/7 untill all the seedlings are up then i turn it off after about a week depending how cold it is winter i will leave it on untill a week before i plan on removing them from the tent the light stays on for 18hrs hope this helps

Thanks Peter, I will have a look at what you recommended. Thanks for taking the time to list it and the advice on how long you leave them on. :)

cool

Peter, thanks for Part 1 and Part 2. Very helpful!

They not just slow, they seems to be stopped growing after they put out their very first set of leaves. It is possible because the root is not growing. As a result, the nutrition intakes is much slower causing the plants to grow much slower than other species.

Sang i check my seeds that dont grow i cut them open to see what has gone wrong if they have began to rot i found on the KHZ DHA seeds they had weevils eating them out only 6 have germinated

Peter - he should replace you the bad seeds, you can show pictures of your nice set up try, it wasn't your fault. I planted 5 variegated seeds and nothing came up, but to my surprise, only one germinated after 3 1/2 weeks, I already gave up on those when I saw only 1 pop up after more than 3 weeks. Rachel is right, they do have a mind of their own lol

yeah I pulled the first seed I thought was on a set from X-Files this little grub poked it's head out of the seed and back in that's what when I cut it open I found it was infested with maggots with spear looking heads so I removed all the seeds that has not came up.when Chang said his isn't growing properly I found the weevil were starting from the root there was half eaten seeds one I saved I think the rest I was left with outer husk full of puss with weevils in .

That is so not cool. Sorry to hear. I never got seeds from him. I did buy DHS 5 seeds from UK, I was so nervous about planting them so I only planted one to see what happens. I dont have heat mat yet but I use warm light at night and filtered sun during day. Weather is awesome in Perth.

THE GOOD NEWS IS I THINK I HAVE GOT 2 KHA DHA the other seedlings are to small or damaged by the x file bugs it's just a shame I would of bought hundreds more such is Life!!!

Agatha good news the seed supplier and I have a talk all is good he is supplying me 15 seeds as a replacement and in good faith I'm going to order more seeds off him it was more a communication break down thanks for your support. So I have edited this thread

Peter - awesome. All the best with new seeds.
