UrbZ Second Grow Journal - 3 Strain Grow

[Campesino]

Well, the one thing I do not doubt is that you have put thought into it all and considered it carefully.
Keep up the great work!

 

[UrbZ]

I tried to think of everything before I left. Heres hoping all goes well.

 

[UrbZ]

Well the sexiest seed won.... Funny thing hmm. Best seeds pops first. Sour Ripper popped her head out of the soil. Pics and update in a bit.

When I germinated seeds the mat was way too hot I took a brooder lamp with a heat bulb and played around until I found the right distance worked great. Just had a hygrometer in my dome so I could see the temp in there.

 

[Locrian99]

I hated and loved waiting for the seeds to sprout. Get home from work and you can’t get to checking them fast enough. I think my wife was going to kill me with the “have you checked on the babies” texts.

 

[UrbZ]

You aint a lying. Im like cool ones up! At the same time Im like hope nothing is wrong with the rest.

 

[Campesino]

Yikes!
That is surprising. Is it possible that they got too hot?
Sorry bout it ;(

 

[UrbZ]

Could have been. I dunno I used the heating pad first grow and had no issues. Bummer.

 

[Campesino]

Yeah, certainly a bummer. Shake it off.
What's the plan going forward? New seeds?

 

[UrbZ]

Yea im gonna germ some more when i get home tonight. luckily I have more of the same seeds. And my 7 for outdoor were only bag seed. They were 5 GG4, 1 Holy Grail and 1 seed from my Black last grow. Kind of a bummer.

 

[Chefbjy]

Good luck UrbZ. I like that gg4 one of my favs.

 

[UrbZ]

Unfortunately those are the seeds that didnt make it. The gg, the black and the holy grail were all bag seeds. They all failed to fully germ.

I do have seeds to replace the 2 white thunders and blue dream. The sour ripper is still growing...

I dont get why 1 would germ and none of the other 11.

Not only that the ripper had terrible helmet head. She didnt seem to want to shed it herself. I finally had to get tweezers to pull it off. Well I pulled a bit too hard and pulled her all the way out of the soil. I made a new hole and replanted her. She is still growing strong while every other seed is a no show.

Next batch of seeds are finally soaking in the new solution. I went with the method I germinated the Torpedo seeds, they raced like bats out of hell. I dont think it was heat, that killed em. I think it was the clonex.

Seeds soaking in Maxi-crop seaweed extract at 32 ML per gallon pH'd at 6.4. Here we go again.

 

[Dutchman1]

I just put the seeds right into the rapid rooters and keep wet till they are popping out. Ive only had one not germinate in the last couple of years of growing.

 

[Locrian99]

I’m 10 for 10 doing it that way.

 

[UrbZ]

They are already looking great. The sour rippers havent even sunk but have root exposing itself. Going into paper towels now.

But yes in the future going to do a much easier method.

Sour Ripper seeds. Easily best seed sprouting speed i have seen yet. I'm impressed with ripper seeds genetics.

All the seeds were planted into soil early this a.m. (Hoping it all goes good. I was 3/4 deep in a pint of patron. lol)

Each solo cup was moistened with the Maxicrop solution at 6.4 pH. Mat placed underneath the cups to keep soil warm.


Heres hoping to a little better results.
