High Ya All from Northern Michigan where it is Cold. When I say Cold I mean Cold.
I have found through the years that March 15th is a great time to get plants going.
I know we are talking about Cannabis but Tomatoes and Peppers are great to start indoors right now as well. Our outdoor season is short and any head start helps when transplanting outdoors later, 2.5 months or so for us above the 45th parallel.
But my goals here are to get some good advise on my grow. No one is perfect and I always run into problems that persist to the point the plant has to go, my heart can not take watching a slow death.
So I got my new seeds from a new source and I chose to go with regular Blueberry and Afghan. I did not go with quantity but started with 12 Blueberry and 6 Afghan, lucky me they sent some extra seeds.
I floated in water as I have been doing for a long time. A farmer told me a couple things many years ago, he said that the first seeds to drop are more likely to be female, he also said plant your seeds under the leaves in the fall season for a guaranteed sprout in the spring. Some things I practiced.
After less than 24 hours all seeds dropped except for one blueberry and at first two blueberries dropped to the bottom of the glass, I had big smiles, and bigger smiles where the next morning seeing most fell.
I then went and got my plastic container and some brown paper towel, I also have found that some paper towels have chemicals that will kill the seed at germination, whit ones, bounty is one for sure.
I forgot to mention that my water is artisan so no worries on water chemicals either.
The towels are moist with the seed placed inside folded over, placed in the container, cover with a towel and put into a known warm spot.
I received the seeds Monday, floated and sank seeds, Tuesday paper towel method, Friday planted inch under soil, 10 blueberries and 6 Afghan, Saturday popping. So far so good.
