Welcome to my Unreleased Green House Seed strains crossed with some of barneysfarm best. This lady has no name as of yet. Click on her for details. She's indica dominate.
GERMINATION. 101 8/8/22
GOW START: Dropped 2 in 150ml of water and they both have 2 little tap roots after 12hrs. Water is tap, I let the water come up to room temp a little 24c, (for optimal temperature min 20c-25cmax, water ppm is 110. Thankfully my kitchen temp is only 26c and press is 25 so perfect for germination. If your seeds do not show a tap after 24 hrs, take them out regardless and move onto the next stage, as the chances of them drawing go up a lot of you leave them in longer than 24 hrs ( and when you drop your seeds in, do not push them under the water as they will sink, if you do this, just move onto the next stage, I'll explain why) so, some seeds will get tap root after 12 hrs, that's why you'll see ppl day between 12-24hrs, cause as soon as you see the tap root, you should just either transplant them or move onto the next stage. Now some seeds that will take 24hrs if you leave them in longer in that germ method and they stay floating on top they'll end up germinating but the chances of them drowning increase like by a lot and 50% of the time they'll end up sinking to the bottom and they will drown, so you want to move them onto the stage below and this will be like the glass of water, as one side of the seed will stay most like it would if you left it on water but you are taking that 50% chance of losing it to drowning as it will sink to the bottom. (Make sense, if it doesn't DM me, now, you'll probably say, why don't you just germinate in PT, read below)
Now this is my method, and so far its given me 6 for 6 and I'll be doing it this way, a lot will say just do one, but both is best, I'll explain why.
PAPER TOWEL
Tomorrow I'll be moving them to PT. So what you want to do is keep that temp around 20-25c some ppl use heat matts but these, you really do not need, they do help with quick germination, (which ppl reckon the stronger Quicker you germ the stronger chance she'll be a better pheno, not proven, nor can be proven as all genetics. So if you don't have a heat mat get yourself a plate/piece of cardboard/cotton wool pads/ my method will be a plate as I have 4 different strains so I need something solid which I can tag and so the seeds won't move and get them mixed up. So I get a plate, lay a cloth on it, (as a plate will be too cold and the temp will get unstable). Lay some clear wrap/cling film on top of the plate+cloth spray with water, (my tap is soft, if you have hard water ai suggest you filter it) ***soft and hard water values below*** then I fold over 2 pieces of paper towel and lay it on the plate and it'll stick to the wrap and give her another spray if not completely wet. Lay your seeds in the middle, (play tags beside them if you need to), fold the the paper towel back on itself. (Do not fold the clear wrap over the PT, as seeds need to breath, if you do this it'll slow down germination rapidly and might even die off, its happened to me) lay a cloth on top of the PT and place in the dark press you stored the seeds at. Don't worry if you are a few degrees above 25 but try not let the temps drop below 20c as this will lower germination rates by a lot.
Okay, so why not just to PT. So, starting out in plain PT isn't as high of a rate as GOW but doesn't have as much as risk rate. So why not get the best of both world. Have a high chance of germination but yet if your seed doesn't split after 24hrs you can move onto PT and as you started her in GOW her chances are much much higher than if you started in GOW. Hope this makes sense. Now ppl go into types of PT and cottonwool but really that shouldn't be an issue only if you let it dry out then the quality of the PT/cottonwood comes into play, but we won't let this happen, so there's no point talking about it and overloading as there is a lot to take in already but I truly believe this is a very high germination success and I'll be honest about my results as the one thing I don't want to do is give bad advice so if any more experienced growers view on what I said as been misleading or wrong please say so.
Seedling Plans.
I have 3 pots for veg as I have the full green house feeding bioline powder additive and you need to up the dose as the plant gets bigger, so for my seedlings I have 1.7 and will mix 2.5g of biogrow with every 1l of substrate. So 4.4grams and you up the dose as you go, but i have all mix and I'll be adding that as soon as she gets out of seedling stage. Then into a 5.7L and after she is 4-5 weeks old she'll be moved into 11L for her final veg pot, and for flowering I have 18Ls. Every 2 weeks I'll be giving 1g/1l of bioenhancer.
GERMINATION COMPLETE Aug/10th/22
Put in propagator for 1st 3 days, as my Grow room is set at 40% RH for my heavy flowering plants. Just used water, as soon as I see leafs and roots coming out the end of wool they'll go into light mix with powder green house feeding bioline and will be giving their 1st dose of bioenhancer. All will be put in 1.7L pots to start off, as you need to keep a low G/l of substrate and then increase as she gets bigger and the powder is best when mixed it with substrate so I have 4 pot sizes for these grows from 1.7-5.7-11- and then for the flip an 18L(5 gal)
Seedling Day 0-3 3 Days in Rock Wool in the propagator after a 1.5tap root had been brought out, light is set at 25%. They have been all doing really well.
Seedling Days 4-7. Having it dialed in the last 3 days, wow, what a difference it has made, to all plants, but this gal has seemed to have taken off. She looks so much further along than the rest. All new pics of grows were taken 2day, 6 were started at the same time, 1 was a runt and was scraped to make room for a white widow. She is doing great. Really nice looking green, not to dark, so looks like its a perfect ratio or this pheno is taking the nutrients differently, fungus has appeared in most of the pots, so good stuff, have been trying to keep it most but be sure to let it dry out in patches if not at all to let your roots/soil breath. Don't expect rapid growth in the 1st 10 days its very hard to tell how far plants are along, but if you have your environment dialed in, you'll give it a great start. Feel free to DM me for any information.
Big thanks to my sponsors green house seeds & marshydro led lights for giving me what I needed to make this diary. 2 great reps that know their jobs.

Back in the early 2000s the GreenHouseSeeds , where my go to breeder back then , it's been awhile but I should put them back into rotation 🤔 Looking good Happy Growing my friend 👊
These again look buzzing. I've been looking for some fruity strains, not done fems yet. Thinking chuck 3 or 4 in after the 6 autos come out. Looking forward to seeing the end result.
