Greetings,
A lazy mans method that works for me
Might save some time, money and stress !
I give each strain seed(s) their own shot glass with 1/2" of distilled water.
Drop in seeds. Remember to label each glass !
Put the glasses in a plastic container with a loose fitting lid. Place on kitchen table.
Go way for 48 hours......
That is long enough for the seeds to either have cracked or have a tap root up to 1/2" long.
Peeking is permitted
BTW > I've had floaters and sinkers germinate...
I use 650g yogurt containers with a half dozen or so 1/4" holes drilled in the bottom.
Fill with ProMix HP (which has Mychorrhizae already added) and water to waste with a .7g/4L solution of Mega Crop one part.
Place on a saucer with plant elevator on the kitchen table again. Let them drain for a few hours.
Poke your finger in the middle to the depth of your finger nail. Put seed in bottom and gently cover with soil.
Place under light. Here I'm using a 85w CFL bulb in a reflector.
BTW > I've kept them under this light for up to 21 days before moving them into the grow room.
I place a 50cfm fan about 20" away. These are all sativa's but this example of stretch is expected with a relatively low power light.
Now quit fussing and go do something... No spritzing, just keep an eye on the weight of the container.
It should be three or four days before you are tempted to water. I caved in and gave them a 1/2 cup of water.
Timber
Just gently move some soil to prop them up...
Looks like I will water tomorrow, from the bottom. The roots should be long enough to take advantage of this. And it helps with "stuff" growing on the surface of the soil.
Even if the surface of soil starts to look green, a gentle fluff with allow the soil to dry out on the surface enough that the mold/fungus will die.
Anywho, this is a Green Crack photo in a single serving yogurt container @ Day 8. Lambs Bread photo in the background.
My Amnesia auto is also at roughly the same stage...
Cheers
