Welcome to my 7th grow, this diary covers a Blueberry Slushy by Roc Bud Inc. I am also growing a Strawberry Milk and Qookies plant from Night Owl, but that's in a different diary. If you'd like to see more details on my tent and air intake/exhaust/air filter system check out the germination week on my Strawberry Milk and Qookies diary.
I have an involved overly complicated method of germination but it's what works best for me.
I get the highest rate of success from it so I stick with it.
I start by putting my seed into a cup of plain tap water for 4 to 24 hours. I remove the seed when it sinks. I poke it under the water every few hours. This Blueberry Slushy seed sunk in 8 hours.
Next I put the seed into a plastic baggie with a combination of an unbleached coffee filter and a paper towel. I then put the baggie into a DVD case and place it next to something warm. I check it after 24 hours using a flashlight and shine it through the baggie. Once the seed has sprouted an inch or so I put the seed into a soaked peat puck and into either final pot or a big solo cup with potting soil. This seed went into a peat puck and into the red solo cup, filled with potting soil and with holes on bottom. I made sure to give the potting soil a good soaking before putting the peat puck in. I will not add any water for at least 5 days. I want the roots to have to reach out into the potting soil. I will closely monitor the moisture level by picking up the solo cup and seeing how heavy it is.
At this point of the grow I do not add any nutrients or amendments. Whatever nutrition is in the potting soil that I put in the solo cup is more than enough to get the seedling going and until I up-pot.
Great strains! Top their and my personal two favorite breeders! Daz and Roc! I wished they collaborated on more than Scoopski. I look forward to your journals!
@Herbie101, thanks Herbie101! I've got my germ process locked down now! This plant is actually on day 40 right now and is a monster, I'll be working to get the diary all caught up soon.
She's coming along! Love your genetics! I have some Irie Golden Goat and Jack the Ripper. I love Super Lemon Haze too! I remember that was my first strong weed when I got my first Med Card in Colorado.
