Auto Experiment: Trainwreck, White Widow, Wipeout Express

Everyone has their favorite germination method! Why not stick with the one that works best for you? I've also had really great germination rates with the paper towel method! I think it may be my favorite method :)

So my little 'Trainwreck is chugging right along. I fed her yesterday and she's now working on her 3rd node. The other seeds are germing in paper towels for the second day...should be planting them in the next day or so.

Slice em like a hotdog bun before ya put your seed in, if it takes to long you have the option to peak. I only peaked in one of four, I had more strength then i thought lolol

So it's Day 29 and the Trainwreck is growing nicely. I gave her a little trim today. I'll probably feed her tomorrow. She's a little long, but time will fix that. I planted one of the Wipeout Expresses a week ago and it's been slow to sprout. I'm a little discouraged with that. I should be growing 5 plants, not 2 smh. O well...

elevating smart pots is a must do. I got these plastic risers that fit into trays to catch the runout. Works great. Found out the hard way I needed to use larger trays though_ get ones large and deep enough to hold at least 1 gallon of water.
 
I do basically the same thing as CCisme_ soak a rapid rooter or similar, slice it in half, put a seed in and lay it on its side. Look at it every 24 hrs. When the root tip has grown out at least a 1/4 " I put it into production. If not, I try another. Usually I try to sprout 2x as many seeds as I want plants. Opens up options for later to grow the strongest plants.
 
The ones you have are looking promising for sure...Im gonna subscribe cuz I'm really interested to see how that Wipeout Express works out_ have some seeds but haven't planted em yet....I had a white widow that sprouted this last time but didn't do well enough to keep her instead of a Gold Mine that was doing much better.

OK so the Wipeout Express has passed on...she never sprouted or shed her shell once planted. The Trainwreck is coming along at Day 32. I trimmed two more fans off yesterday. The other trim spots are forming their tops nicely. I re-soaked the other 3 seeds...the Trainwreck and White Widow both popped, so they're back in paper towels. The other Wipeout Express is just siting there. This is truly an experiment lol! Chugga Chugga...onward!

So we're at Day 36(28 from sprout) and this is my little Trainwreck. I topped, tied and fed her today. She seems to be spreading nicely and not really showing any stress from the trimming so far. I planted a Trainwreck and a White Widow that cracked their shells. Given the pace of this grow, I put them in 1 gallon pots to conserve water in case they don't sprout. I'll keep you guys posted.

Looking good MrGreen, sorry to hear about your dead seeds.

I plant in a solo with its bottom cut off inside my larger final pot. This gives the seed a small contained area to start in which makes her early growth and watering easier. As an added bonus if I decide to trash a seedling, I can just pull out the solo cup and keep the surrounding medium in the larger pot. Once the seedlings are established I just cut the solo cup out and there's no real "transplant" so no shock.

That is an awesome idea! I will definitely incorporate that in future grows. Saves a lot of water and nutes in the beginning...thanks!
 
Have got a good inlet duct if so maybe on might try put a booster fan on your outlet duct. I don't grow much indoor I have over the years but I can't get enough for my time and money. I start mine in a greenhouse and move outdoors in may and average around 2 to 2.5 lbs a plant
 
I put my seeds in a glass of water and put them on top of fridge and must are sprouted the next some may take up 3 or 4 days.
