New to the forums but have used GWE for information and inspiration for many moons. I recently started some new cultivars from TrueCannGenetics which is my personal favorite breeder. Extremely nice guy and knows his work. I started his Limited 10 year anniversary release of Chem Valley Cooks and Dohreoz Figured I will make my post about my seed popping to selections and harvest if successful.
I germinate in a paper towel/zip lock bag and use a bottled spring water to dampen them and place on top of my flower tent so they know where they can end up😜
Once germinated I transfer into a small container of coco coir/castings mix. (Don’t overwater it will stunt them) When they get the starter leaves I use a farmer Freeman xy test to eliminate any males.
This is the point I am at with above mentioned cultivars. Today I mailed my samples out. Hopefully next week I’ll know genders and make adjustments.
So far Farmer Freeman test have been useful and it costs about the same as if I would wait up to two months for signs of plant sex. And I have had plants that just won’t show until going into flower cycle.
Xy test are easy to use. They provide instructions. Basically use the provided tag and matching envelope to place a 1/2 inch to one inch sample of a healthy leaf tip in and seal with provided sticker. Clean cutting utensils between samples. And return them to the testing lab.
I only looked at a few prior post so far and have already seen one about limited space. This is what inspired me to make a post about how I deal with plant count, space and selections as a home grower in tents. Accidentally posted this to my visitors page also🤪
