Thank you Gazoo I catch on better with pictures and videos it gives me a better mental image of what's going on I am going to have to find some buckets that are 1.25 gal. or some where close so I can do the dunks That sounds and looks like a great way to do it. I will check the dollar store for some or maybe Lowes. I have my 1 gal. starter pots Also I have some rapid rooters so I will drop the seed in there then into the 1gal.
Here’s my two cents worth for not wasting product when dunking.Dunking with little waist
Not much waist at all (4 cups left over) I could adjust for less left over but the math
for the actual amount left in pot gets tricky. I am a OCD wielding SOB when it comes right
down to it
EDIT: Forgot to mention if your running more than 1 you can add the left over to the next
plant dunked and at the end NO matter how many plants your running you will only have
4 cups waist
Cheap Anchors for those young seedlings that want to stretch at the start, easily bent for use.
Oh that was a seed I started in the root riot plug, seed in plug and placed directly in soil for in-pot germination.
Awesome, I know you’ve been waiting a while for this day to come where you have plants again! Super stoked for ya!House is very close to done, very happy with how it's turned out! I'm back at it but not ready to start a journal just yet.
A huge thank you goes out to @Kitchenhawk for gifting me 4 clones and even threw some seeds in too! The clones came in his very nice diy shippers and they are some of the nicest clones I've ever seen, off to the races! Right now they're stelth in a garbage can with a pizza box and towel over it, lighted by 2 curly cfls hanging from the box, poked hole in it and put the wire through and tied knot. You'd never know they're in there.
Hawk sent, Mimosa, Boptang#2, Boptang #3, and Dosidos. The #3 is Tangerine terps and the #2 a sweet tropical smell. He threw in a 10 pack Boptang fems, and 4 Blackcherrypunch x Boptang fems!
I have to agree with you Van Stank.
..cheers
Duggs is right about mimicking nature to speed up the finish. The plants definitely respond to those changes, just like lighting time.Question -
What's your room climate like during the last few weeks of flower to the time when you harvest? I'm just curious to see what climate settings most dbhbb growers uses for their grow. I'm thinking I want to lower temps further and i'm not sure exactly how low we can go before it becomes a issue. I want to bring out the colour in the plants and enjoy the eye candy.
If I am wrong, please let me know. To my understanding, if properly done, and at the adequate moment, cold temperatures can be used to a positive effect when cultivating cannabis. To achieve purple color etc etc on the plants, the difference between day and night time temps needs to be greater than 5-10 degrees. My room climate is currently 40% rh and 74F day time with night time temp droping to 65 F. Im thinking night time temp should drop futher to 60 and keep the day time temp at 75F range. Thoughts?
Thank you that is a Very good tip and one I will need once out of the seedling stageRegarding drainage holes and dunking ...
A cool thing happens when you dunk a plant into deep water and then pour down the top. All the air in the pot is forced to the top and bubbles out at the soil line. I always get it in my solo cups because the holes I punched with a nail are all along the bottom. With the gallon pots, I have the square ones with the slots along the edges, just like the ones Medman showed, so I have to submerge them up to the top slots to make it work.
If you drill holes, I recommend that you don't go too high on the pot. Keep 'em along the bottom. It'll make it ideal for dunking.
I was wondering what I could put in a bucket to drain with I see you put it on top now why didn't I think of that. I glad you did now I know an easy way with out bothering my back to do it Thanks
Doc, this is a follow up to the post above. The pic below was taken today, two weeks from the ones above. I believe it is a testimony to your method. As long as one follows the basic instructions and uses a little common sense, anyone can produce this. I also want to give a nod to tropics for breeding this monster!Doc, et al, just wanted to follow up on the above. Took your advice, Doc, and let them dry really well and then kept the dbl drenches under two minutes. Once they stabilized, I gave them a Rescue Drench and transplanted to 7s when they dried out. They really took off with the extra room in the 7s. Here’s a couple pics at day 54 from seed. The first three pics are Purple Satellite and the last two Panama (all Ace seeds).
They praying to the light now !! Great recovery !!Doc, this is a follow up to the post above. The pic below was taken today, two weeks from the ones above. I believe it is a testimony to your method.

Purple Satellite (Oaxacan Gold kept from 1979 and a high altitude pure Nepalese sativa.) Day 68 from seed. BTW - the tall plant in the back is a Panama Red (Ace).
