Hello all!

Seems like a friendly bunch on here.
Im from the UK and have got two seedlings out of 6 germinated seeds. I think I may have made a mistake of germinating the seeds in paper towel then transfering to a seedling tray which I've put on a South facing window sill. I'm thinking they got too hot with the sun fully on them as they all looked healthy when germinated but only two came up. Does that sound possible?

I've got one Northern lights and one Afghan kush, both autos that will be going outside into 5 gallon material pots with biobizz soil and nutrients.

Due to only 2 plants still living I will be ordering some new seeds this week.

Anyway, if anyone thinks they might know if the direct sunlight was to blame for the damage please let me know.
Appreciated!

Welcome Triptwo. Suppose you might have damaged them when you planted them? Those little tails are easy to injure.

 

[Triptwo]

Oh no. Actually this is embarrassing, I may even have put them in upside down. Is that a thing?

As you can tell I've not done this before.

 

[Hippie420]

If you planted them tails up, yes. They can, however, turn around and grow the right way on their own, but it'll take longer. Time will tell.
I'd be tempted to gently dig them up and plant them tails down, but you risk more damage when you do.
Live and learn. We all make mistakes.

Okay, I think you've found the problem. I think they were tails up!

So I've learnt something useful already! Appreciated.

Triptwo, sorry about the thread drift, but we not only grow weed, we smoke it, too.
