Weird and irritating
 
Hi everyone

Well today i went out to check out my neps and was looking at all my seeds in the pots and was just trying to look for any signs of life.After a very very hard look around on the 3rd pot suprisingly i say a plant very small probally 0.5cm tall I'm not sure if its weed or anything anyways after i checked it again the next 10min it just dissapeared:crying::crying::crying::mad::mad::mad:

Argh i'm not sure if its a seedling but i was soooo hoping it was and now even worse i can't even find it anymore...Any pics of very young seedlings for me????

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, your plant is very shy.....patience, my friend.......no rushes. Perhaps it was an insect.

Okay i was convinced by the paranoid thing at first until i checked again and i say another seedling which was emerging from the seed but no leaves yet just a tiny line coming out from the seedling.

Here's my seedlings from JK's seeds. I think if I sowed them earlier, there will be more. Just sowed them about a week ++ to two weeks ago. The seeds are good and very fresh.

Ken, you've got to be careful as you can see they look like weeds.

Sometimes my s.moss also goes green with algae after a a couple of weeks. Not sure what makes them grow more vigorous or slower.

Hmmm i always thought it was fungus lol ahahahahahaha........Those bottle stuff which i use to water and spray my plant seems to have those green stuff growing inside also.....probally thats why my LFS turn green.

That's algae Ken. Unless if they are fuzzy or hairy. If they're green, slimy and slippery, it should be algae. Fungus do not usually grow in a water bottle unless there is sugar or food stuff there.

Okay looks like none of my plants are getting attacked by algae hehehehehe.
