SOIL New Grow

She's got a long middle finger. Blue Dream can be a big girl if treated right. She can go a long time in veg, 6 weeks without loving plucking and I bet 2 foot before flower. I wouldn't pay 370usd for a fukin airplane let alone dope.

Mm id like to do one outdoor to see how big they can get.
And yea you can see why ending prohibition would help our socio middle and lower class ppls with cost of living etc etc especially us tokers.

I've got these two regular seeds going as well for test Dummies and to have a go at sexing ( once plant got 5+laterals either flip to 12/12 or in my case I'll have to take out of room and use sunlight, wait until it shows hairs or balls and then either put back in room at 18-6 top it and hope it goes back to veg) I know the bigger ones mother was Afghan Kush and the bloke reckons it might have been pollinated from a near buy hemp farm but hopefully not.
I've also finally worked out that the seed and cutting mix I'm using is absolutely crap for drainage and air retention, I was pulling my hair out over the fact that I usually don't have much trouble getting them going and yet I been having so much trouble with the last few with overwatering I was thinking maybe I am loosing the plot. Last night the one in the green pot was so droopey I thought it was stuffed so I drilled holes in pot for one last try at revival and this morning ta daa ... Leaves slightly tacoing maybe from being so Water logged and now drying out or maybe from to much light so backed light off from 300 ppfd to 250. See how it looking tomorrow.

A few hours later she has straightened out and is ready to go in ( Ive been saying peat pod not sure where I got that from) jiffy pellets Coco coir.

I like to use a vertical germinator to sprout my seeds.

 

[Wayzee]

Yea right, never even heard of those, looks neat though. How do you go feeding tap root through the grow medium?

 

[ductwizard]

i think i saw how to dyi one of those in the tutorials section

 

[dirtymike]

Look wet and droopy. To much loving. Temp in Australia should be up in the 60 s at night. Getting 14 + hours of sun now.

 

[dirtymike]

Straight in The soil. Jiffy pods I don't do.

 

[Wayzee]

Less transplanting or you just don't see the point?

 

[Wayzee]

How long do you soak your seeds for?

 

[Allenpro]

That is cool, I have never seen that either

 

[dirtymike]

Don't see the point, seems like just another step to waste money. 24-36 hour soak before paper towel. Text book germination method.

 

[dirtymike]

Germination tower, excellent head start. Easy for DWC for sure

I got the idea from an old hippy that I used to work for up in Nor Cal in the early 90's. He used a CD case. The one in the picture comes from another grow site I frequent. There are a bunch of 3D printer crazies on there and when I spotted them making an improved version I bought one.

The hippy told me he prefers sprouting seeds vertically because in nature when the seed sprouts the tap root grows down so this was a way of providing that along with having a way to successfully sprout seeds.

While a CD case works well, these work even better. If y'all want one I'll ask the 3D guys if they'll print up a few for you. I got one of the early ones. One of the last ones I saw coming off the printer was using multicolor filaments so it was pretty wild looking. Same function just not so bland!!!

Well after trying to germinate another 2 blue dream seeds, this time with no heat mat only at room temperature and I have nothing. Starting to think it's the seedbank I'm using as I've had better success with starting the last few random bag seeds than I've had with these "proper" ones.
I've sent a nice email to the seedbank asking how old and if other people are having trouble popping their seeds, not that I expect an honest reply but just so I can try hit them up for some freebies or a refund.

 

[dirtymike]

I've done exactly that and more than once. All of them were more than helpful and sent out replacements. Most will send out more than you requested a replacement for. Knowing the age of the seeds would be helpful. They should reply soon with a positive answer. "Nice" is always groovy because hand geranades get fukin messy. PAZ

 

[Wayzee]

Have you ever scarified your seeds Mike? I got nothing to lose so I might give it a go on these, I noticed before on the one that's popped it's having a hell of a time opening up to even let the cotyledons out...

 

[Wayzee]

And yes my nice email has already been responded to with the offer to replace any seeds that didn't work and many extras of my choice. 😁👍🏾👌🏾

Rando seems to be recovering from it's drowning and stretching out a bit. And helmet head.
