Thats on the bering sea
Ok, just got confirmation that Jesse will be joining the American line up for the grow. Thanks for the quick response Jesse. I added all your info to my spread sheet to track our teams results.

Ok, because CKS emphasizes not to soak for more than 12h, so I had to ask out of curiosity. May be worth trying.

6½ hours daylight. I'd commit suicide with days that short. It's cold down here and we just got over a storm, but the sun today had me in a wicked good mood. That's a treat for me in the winter with seasonal depression and all.

Shit just got real!
I think you're right.
I have found that I generally start soaking in a water and H2O2 mix (4 to 1 water to H2O2 ratio). I soak in there to kill anything potentially damaging on the shell of the seed.....and I usually soak for about an hour and then I move the seed into just plain water and soak overnight (usually throw them in the water around 10pm and they have sunk by the time I get up in the morning). Once its sunk, I move to either direct in soil planting or the paper towel method. I am (knocks on wood) still batting 1000 with this method.
What I find to be key is really just leaving the fucking seed alone and let nature do its thing. I don't peek 10 times through out the process. I drop it and wait. Generally people that i hear having a lot of issues in germination, can be traced back to 2 things......cleanliness (touching everything with un-sterile hands) and impatience (maybe i can help things along). If you stay clean, use good water and the right light to start seedlings under, and you are patient.....the seeds will do what they have been doing since the beginning of time......GROW.

Maybe I should try a soak. For a few months there I was getting 100% germination by dry planting and then it dropped right off for some reason.
I rough seeds up in a matchbox with sandpaper inside, then drop them in a bowl of distilled water I keep in the dark on the warming mat (in the winter anyway). If it hasn't sunk after 12 hours I tap it and that usually sends it to the bottom. When it splits (after about 24 hours) it goes tap down into the peat puck (with the bottom cut open so as not to interfere with the tap root when the mesh gets removed. The peat puck goes under a CFL for light and warmth, and as soon as the leaves surface it goes into the pot (final pot if it's an auto) in the sun.

Ok, so I just emailed out the spreadsheet to all the american growers.... Illizm, InTheShed, TheFertilizer, 425Jesse, TheMadDabber, CS, Vex (I will see you over dinner)....your spreadsheet should be there when it gets there. I figure that we should be able to get this grow under way within a week or so baring anyone needing us to hold off for anything.

Hey Guy and Fly... our competition is sharing how they get everything started... Don't be giving out any Canadian secrets or hints!
So... friends from the south... what kind of light and time are you thinking is the best for auto's?? Nutes? ...
Oh, I feed mine exclusively Miracle Grow for Acid Loving Plants from germination to harvest. And autos love 8/16. Too much light will kill them. Works for me every time
.You?
