Dropped 5 seeds in a glass of water at 21:00 on 27 October for around 20 hours.
Two of them sank a few hours in, two more around 12 hours in and one floated till the very end.
The two seeds that sank first grew a taproot quicker than the rest, followed by the 2 that sank later on and the floater hasn't germinated yet.
I always doubted the saying that floating seeds aren't viable but seems I've proven my self wrong. We'll see tho, maybe the seed just needs a few more days in the paper towel.
Did the paper towel method in conjunction with a heating mat and heating mat thermostat. Maybe a bit overkill but didn't want to waste any seeds.
The heating mat thermostat kept the seeds at around 26°C. Happy with the results so far.
First 2 seeds went in on 30 October, second 2 went in on the 31st. The floater ended up not showing a taproot but ohwell, was only planning on doing 4 anyway.
Will be starting 4 Nirvana Hindu Kush seeds soon to grow outdoors.
Only keeping the part of the soil that the seed might need soon wet, hopefully that's alright but I don't feel right about saturating the whole medium immediately like some sources suggest doing.
Keeping them under a 18/6 (18:00-12:00) light cycle, probably for the rest of the grow. The light is currently hanging around 85cm (33.5 Inches) away from the pots since it's a 400W light and I don't wanna stress the seedlings.
RH is hovering between 50-60% which is a bit low for fresh seedlings so I covered them with budget humidity domes, and temps with the light running seem to average at around 26°C-28°C.
Hey there…I hope you don’t mind me chiming in and offering some assistance.
I’m no expert growing indoors but have grown plenty outside.
So I’m learning myself.
The one thing that jumped out at me was the plants looked bone dry in every pic…or almost every pic.
Seedlings need very little water and they often get overwatered, but once those plants are somewhat established, say 2-3 weeks, you wanna soak your pot completely edge to edge and top to bottom.
Then if you have a good draining medium you should wait until they are totally dried out to water again.
Small plants in veg may take 4-5 days but once they start flowering and stretching they can drink a lot.
Feel the weight of your pot and once it’s light you can water/feed.
A decent rule is about 1/3 (or just a bit less) of your pot size….so a 3 gal pot would take 1 gal per watering……5 gal would take roughly 1.5 gal.
If your soil is amended, you shouldn’t have to feed it anything for at least 3 weeks.
Then tread lightly but without good watering habits the plants won’t do well.
Good job getting some good looking smoke from your maiden voyage.
Now let’s increase those plant sizes and yield by 10x at least.
Hello there! I had a lot of fun reading you diary. I'd like to ask,do you really test the ph with a ph tester? If you use those liquid ph test kits and then add the nutes the ph will reach an extremely low point, ph=4 for example, and then an Nitrogen deficiency will happen sooner or later.Check the following link if you wish or you can search it by your self. It might help.

Hope my advise come in handy and will help you grow😉
Check my diaries if you wish.
Peace MH
Forgot to mention that ONLY IF YOUR LADIES WHERE HEALTHY(!!!) you should cut those popcorn nugs on the lower part around week 4 or 5 maybe.It a waste of resources.
