My next run is locked and loaded. I've been given an opportunity to show off yet another fine example of Nirvana's stellar genetics. I'm excited for this one, Swiss Cheese. It's supposed to bring the funk, with an aroma they described as "loud"....I can't wait lol. Thanks again, Jim.
The flower tent just started it's next run, so I got plenty of veg time for these babies. Up front I'm thinking of 2 toppings, then I'll decide if I'm gonna go mainline or SCROG. If I mainline I'll go a little cleaner than my last run. I'm only flowering 4 to allow a little more room this run either way.
So the seeds arrived on 3/18 and went straight into a shotglass of water for an overnight soak. I prefer not to soak until they pop, just long enough to wake them up and soften the shell some. Tap roots are fragile and I'd rather they emerge while in the Rapid Rooter. I try to also keep the hinge up, though if it turns I don't try digging it out either, it will fix itself if it happens. I just use a clear tote for a humidity dome, strictly to keep the Rapid Rooters from drying out, once they emerge it comes off. My basement is on the cooler side so I keep my germination table near the boiler unit to help keep them a little warmer. I prep my coco and fill my pots. I precharged them with some pHed water(@ 5.8) and CalMag. All 5 of these broke ground on the 3rd day and went straight into their 1gal pots on 3/23. This morning(3/24) they're all oriented and pointing straight.
Looks like another hassle free germination, but that's always the case with Nirvana in my experience. They might not carry as big of a selection some of the other breeders/brokers out there but the quality is always top notch. 👌
