yeah ok if your interested. here's my germination rundown.
day 1: seed goes into a pill bottle with 600 grit sandpaper, shaken for 60 seconds. then seed into a shot of water. bout 12 hours later the seed can be pushed to the bottom of the cup.
day 2: after 24 hours in water, the seed then goes into wet paper towel and into the warmest room in the house.
day 3-5: monitor paper towel for moisture and positioning of the root and seed pod.
day 6: seed gets planted into a red solo shot cup with 4 drainage slits cut into bottom. stays In same warm room which has a 24 hour cfl running. daylight hours, it goes into the windowsill for direct sunlight, about 10-12 hours a day.
day 7-9: monitor moisture(just damp) and move the shot cup around for best light access. turning away from light strengthens the stem as it needs to keep bending back to the light.
day 10: new seedling now gets planted into the final home, in my case 2 gallon pots. gets a clear cup dome with 2 cuts at bottom and a drilled hole at top. wet the soil first day.
day 11-18: this is variable, like I said, I let the girl tell me when to water, and when to remove the dome cup. after this, it's clear sailing. have had 100% success since starting this regime.
ok, now keep in mind that I am doing a perpetual grow here. so every second day I am putting a seed into the water cup, step 1. so every day I am also maintaining all the rest of the steps for all other seeds in that calendar window. not to mention maintaining all the girls in the tent. lol
since the estimated timing from the seedbank was way off. they said 60 days from seed, I say b.s. it looks like #1 will be 90 days. i'm sure I have at least 2 weeks to go which will bring it to 90 days. she still has lots of white pistils.
I don't have much going today, lol if you can believe that. so I will try to get a series of pics for each step if you like.
only have 1 seed going atm, in towel, is the critical kush photo. in shot I have the blue treacle planted yesterday. those are replacements for the males. I do still have domes on some as u can see.
let me know if this helps at all, or if it was pointless, lol.
have fun eh
