Monster&Midget 1st grow.

Yay, so finally the first 4 seeds have been dropped. 2 zkittlez og auto and 2 cbd auto 20:1 CONDITIONS: 22 degrees kept above the fridge in a dark press that doesn't get used. PH 6.3 PPM 78. Will check this time tomorrow after 12 hours to see if they have dropped to the bottom. Will update with pics of (hopefully 4 seeds at the end of the glass). If they have dropped after 48 or not sprouted I'll drop a few drops of hydro and if there's no change in some after another 24 hours, the seeds that failed this method will be discarded. I guess you could try straight into medium but they'd be weak seeds so what's the point. Anyways will update, fingers crossed. UPDATE 12/20/21 12hrs since dropped. All 4 seeds have hit bottom of glass, no sprouts, a little early. PH 6.3 PPM dropped just a little 75. 22.5c Let's not disturb them now for another 12-24 hours will update. UPDATE 18HRS. So, looks like my whole grow plan is out the window. My whole setup was depending on a $400 delivery of hydro nutes, coco+perlite, lst gear and hydro pots. I do not have a way to go this route this time, as I do not have the funds nor can I get a company to ship all the items I'll need by tomorrow night, my 48hr glass water germination method. So, instead, I'm going to try a new product that has never been used as far as I know. It's a supersoil powder that transforms normal potting soil into top soil, it's also geared towards organic plant growth. It's very very very expensive. But it's just one product. You can make up to 100l per 100 grams and it costs $70 per 100grams. So, looks like it's going to be an organic grow, defo expecting a lesser yield, but, hey, who knows this could be the next wonder juice. Will update tomorrow on progress of germination. UPDATE 1.5 days So, surprise, surprise, gets what's delivered today, all my hydro gear. And yesterday I spent $100 changing over my setup to grow organic. So, now, I'm doing this diary as a hydro grow. 1 zkittlez og auto/ 1 CBD AUTO 20:1 hydro and another 1 of each I'm doing organic. So, tail sprouted on 1 CBD and you can see 2 other shells starting to open, but way to slowly. So instead of leaving them in their conditions I made the choice to give the last 24 hours in the paper towel method. See in pics above. You will be able to compare this hydro grow to the 2 organic diares I'll be starting with supersoil formula. For hydro I've went down the Advanced Nutrition line. I just need to order a few more products for the flowering stage. But everything for organic is ready to go, from start to finish. UPDATE 2.5 DAYS So, I just took the seeds down and as you can see after 22hrs after switching to paper towel the CBD AUTO 20:1 that had a little tail is just about ready to plant aswel as it's sister CBD. The zkittlez showed only slight shell change after 36hrs of glass water, but as you can see the 22hrs in paper towel has them nearly there too. I checked them last night after 12 hours just to resoak with a spray bottle of 6.3ph, 78ppm and 23c temp of distilled water from a regular Brita jug. GLASS OF WATER METHOD: Hmm, to be desired. This method seems to work okay with fastbuds, but even after 36 hours only a tiny tail was sprouting. Zkittlez only barely could notice shell change. Not a great method, but Maybe if I'll try this way again I will use a nute or a few drops of hydro. NOT A BEST METHOD FOR FAST RELIABLE RESULTS. PAPER TOWEL METHOD: So, I threw in the towel with the GOW method. And decided to go straight into paper towel. I have no special heat pad, or controlled environment, I just got a big plate, folded up a kitchen cloth put it on plate, and put some cling film over the plate, then got some kitchen towel paper, ripped it in half and made 2 slips, lay it down, soak the paper till soaked right through, ( don't worry about getting to wet, just hold stuff down and turn plate on its side to rid of excess pooling water. Use tweezers or gloves, to take seeds from glass, (if using different strains be sure to label or make sure you rember what side you have left seeds). Lay seeds half way down on paper towel and cover with remaining half of paper towel (be sure you move the paper towel around so the seeds are sitting on the cloth, instead of a cold plate, trust me, it makes so much difference), until they overlap trapping the seeds between wet paper towels, lay cling film over paper towels and to remain heat, again fold up light dish cloth and lay over top of cling film, this is just to retain heat, and I only added the top cloth last night and when I checked it dismorning to my surprise the seeds had dried up the paper towels a lot after laying the extra dish cloth over the top of cling film. With that extra added bit of heat in the dark press I kept the glasses of water they sprouted sooo much. So just going to give them 12 more hours then gonna plant. I WOULD 100% CHOOSE THIS METHOD OVER GOW, BUT, MAYBE SOAK THE THE SEEDS FOR 12 HOURS BEFORE PT GERMINATION. UPDATE Day 3 CBD seeds hitting over 1.5 Inch long. Zkittlez a little slower out the gate but they didn't even really change during 36 GOW method. So, really happy with the progress. Ready to plant. I hope my first ever, beginners germination shares on success and failures a like. How else do we learn unless we make mistakes, but read this, I've made and hopefully translated them results in every step. Thanks for reading. Following my grow. Will update tomorrow after they get there first 18hrs of light and feedings.
