For Germination, I put them into a glass of water (24hrs), then into paper towel, then into Peat Plug
Sun Aug 7 - soaked seeds in water for 24 hours
- heat mat @ 25°C, tent heater at 25°C, humidifier at 65%
Mon Aug 8 - put seeds onto paper towel, in baggie, on plate, on heat mat
- I noticed a couple of seeds had their taproot slightly showing while in the water
Tue Aug 9 - all of the seeds have sprouted their taproots and will need to be planted into the plugs
- I ph'ed the water and put 20 plugs into the water
- About 4.5 hours later, every seeds taproot was out, with most being longer than 1/4 inch
- I got the plugs out of the water and into the tray. I used a drill to make the holes more accessible
- next time I will try to drill the holes while the plug is dry
- I put the seeds into the holes with the taproot facing down and used small bits of the plug to cover the hole
- I put the tray onto the heating mat, put the sensor beside a plug to ensure proper temperatures
- I sprayed the inside of the propagator with water and gave a final spray onto the plugs
- I adjusted the light to be on for 18 hours on and 6 off as this stage does require lights
Wed Aug 10 - almost every seedling has popped from the plug. A few have not
- I noticed that a good number of the seedlings had the husks still attached so I removed them with tweezers
- A couple of the seedlings had their cotyledons closed. Tomorrow, if they are not yet open, I will carefully open them with tweezers
Thu Aug 11 - I used tweezers to help open up the cotyledons on a couple of the seedlings that had not opened up yet
- I noticed that one seedling has an extremely short root, so I assume it may not make it
- I noticed that one seedlings root has significantly sprouted out of the plug
- after dealing with the cotyledons, I came back a few hours later and found that the seedlings that I helped seems to be doing good
- So far everything looks good. Their may be a couple of seedling that won't make it, but worst case scenario, should only be a couple
Fri Aug 12 - Every seedling is looking pretty good, just not the one with the extremely short root, but I'm still holding out hope
- I pulled a couple of plugs out and both were already showing roots coming out of the plug, I assume the rest are the same
@amsterdammarijuanaseeds,
This is my 3rd grow. Every seed I've purchased has been from AMS. Your prices, selection, payment options and delivery are the best!
I already have 2 more grows planned immediately following this grow and I've already ordered the seeds.
Thank for being the best seed bank!
