So I will try to keep long stories short. Bare with me.
The Cali Connection Deadhead OG clones are from a mother plant that is sort of a miracle.
A childhood friend had bought several strains from The Cali Connection in 2011.
He never got around to popping any of them and they sat in there containers in a drawer for 10 years!
Here in AZ that is NOT the best way to store beans long term.
So there was not much hope.
I tried Germinating a couple of the strains, and they would crack but just had no energy.
After reading everything I could about soaking solutions and methods I ended up back at Ed Rosenthal's methods using H2O2.
And success. Beautiful BIG mother is alive and the second seed is ..... a Male! Yay.
So we shall see how long these take to root and go from there.
The Mephisto Northern Cheese Haze was a gift from a fellow grower I met recently.
I am very excited about this, as I have read and seen nothing but good things here on the Diaries about Mephisto Genetics.
Both will be run the same way as all my plants indoors with a minimalist living soil Organic mindset.
BuildASoil blends FTW.
The Mephisto is coming along just as expected, and I believe after 7 day it is wanting a little something extra.
I may just go straight into the pot so it can start getting some food.
H2O2(Hydrogen Peroxide) solution is the real deal.
Since switching to the solution for germination, I have had a 100% germination rate on all strains.
Mix is 6tsp H2O2 to 2 Cups of Neutral De-clorinated water.
Here we go!
Have a great day and Happy Growing to all.
