    Seeds and germination

    So I am ordering my next grow seeds i have some pineapple haze but I don't want to grow them until I have a couple of grows done.
    So I have decided on wonder woman from nirvana. I am going to grow 2 plants in a 2x4 scrog.
    I am also going to order the propergator pro they sell it's cheep and I suck at germination. My question is does any 1 have 1 and do u like it.
    It's 4:19 u got a minute?

    I have one and I just popped AK-48, Wonder Woman and Master Kush from Nirvana 6 weeks ago. I used rapid rooters and put them in the propagator with a little perlite under the rapid rooters. Keep the perlite and RR moist and they usually pop in 1-3 days for me. I do put them on a heating pad with no 2 hour shutoff. Leave it on low and keep them away from bright sun coming in a window. It was worth the $$ to me. Good Luck.
    4X4 Gorilla with Solar Storm 440 LED. Coco / perlite, 5 Gallon fabric containers. LST and scrog. Grows to date all Indica Dominant Hybrids

      It's a heating pad from CVS or Walgreens bought years ago and it has a shutoff bypass switch. I don't think you can get them anymore but I may be wrong. There are germination heating pads that should work.

      Forgot one thing with the propagator - make sure you leave the vents on top open!

    I used a seed starter kit I picked up at Home Depot -- peat starter cubes, tray and dome -- and a seedling heat mat off Amazon. Cheap and worked a treat, 5 out of 5 seeds popped in 3-4 days.
    My first grow

      All you really need to germinate seeds is a tray with a lid (preferably one that is 2 inches deep and has a 2 to 4 inch tall clear lid, a heating pad under the tray, and some water in the tray itself (I would fill it half way at most). Here is one on Amazon for $25 with everything you need: https://www.amazon.com/Start-CK64050...eed+germinator

        The heat pad would push the costs of the propergator up to over 30 bucks. The light is not necessary. They don't need light at first to get started but you could always place them near a light source if you wanted. Just my thoughts on it...best of luck!

      I never killed a bagseed but once I bought some seeds I over complicated things. The key is the dome lid. It gives the seeds enough air without getting choked or damping off. The heat pad helps speed it up but isn't necessary.
      Good luck.

            I purchased the propagator pro kit from Nirvana.
            It comes with a bag of Bacto--I guess this is some kind of nutriment. The instructions only state: to mix the Bacto with water and then pour 25ml on the perlite.
            How much water to add to the Bacto powder,at first, not stated. Anyway, I used it all much to my chagrin--killed my seedlings. Contacted Nirvana and was told of my mistake.
            OK, when I asked if I could get another Bacto, the reply: "Sorry Bacto is not sold as a separate product."
            My response to the support person was: "How can Nirvana hype a product (Bacto and the kit) and not make Bacto available for continued use? And why isn't this stated in their promotional info?"
            Was told (by support person): "I'll take this up with management."
            Since then I have used the kit,without Bacto, to successfully germinated seeds. [I do use a heat pad at low setting.]
            Draw your own conclusions.
            Happy growing,
