Thank you for saying this. I have had it with people suggesting I don't know how to germinate seeds!Dunno -statistically guessing I've popped more seeds in the last ten days than 90% the people here have in their whole lives. I use H2o2 out my swimming pool every time and bat at 85%+ average as evidenced in photos, videos and a bunch of stuff.
What works for me in the tropics, or what works for the way more temperate Africa? Don't care where you live - stop everyone saying your way is the highway, please? Canada is different to Boston is different to Miami to LA to Stockholm.
I’m seeing really experienced growers having issues popping them using their tried and tested methods. Suggests to me its not the members’ fault.
My method is basically that of an OG Elite breeder, Hall of Famer called Simon from Serious Seeds. H2O2 if you can soak for an hour or two, then to paper and ziploks hung vertically so once a day you can swing them up and let the moisture that pools at the bottom run up and re soak the paper. Here we get 1” tail after 48 hours, that’s likely cause the 30c 75% Rh 365 environment. We also never put them in the fridge nor pop them immediately after they arrive if by airmail.
That’s our way and popped literally 100’s this year.
Some of the seed popping suggestions here seem to verge on “you’re doing it wrong” That’s pretty judgemental and getting tedious. Perhaps a bit more “this is what works for me” rather than being prescriptive.
For me - think Canuk have run out of time. Over two months since they posted them and not arrived so I bought some OG Kush off someone else for the journal I started for the grow (get a kilo out a 4x4 with a $150 light in solos)
But the seeds ever arrive I’ll circle back here and post my popping results. BUT - its what works for us. I would never presuppose that someone somewhere else in the world knows better.
None of the 10 seeds I tried have germinated. I am unimpressed with Canuk's lack of response to the experienced growers who have not been able to get their seeds to germ. It appears as if it is a thing that they should be addressing.
I don't understand the point of this comparative grow, other than to promote the company in order to increase market share. With respect, where is the Canuk voice?
