Here's how I achieve a 100% germination rate: Ingredients: Ziplock bag, seeds, spray bottle, pockets, 2 cotton pads. I lightly moisten one side of each cotton pad with water, place the seed between them, and fold the cotton pads back together. Then, I place them inside the ziplock bag and lightly spray inside twice, ensuring the outer surface of the cotton pads isn't bone dry. I leave a small opening in the bag and tuck it into my pocket. The body warmth acts like an incubator, hatching the little seed like an egg. Bok! Shoutout to Ganja Farmer Seeds, I really dig those guys, and they hooked me up with some new genetics to put to the test. And test them, I shall. Because here's the deal: it's my first foray into Coco AND Drip Irrigation. It's practically a given that I'll screw up at least once, but I'm committed to minimizing those screw-ups as much as possible. Weirdly enough, reliable info on coco and drip irrigation was hard to come by. It's like 50% of the advice out there screams, "YOU NEED 20% DRAIN, YOU UNDERSTOOOO000oOD?????" And the remaining 50% is like, "I'll water once a week in my 50L pot, since I'm doing it like soil my plants are 5785621908x 'better'!". Idk either bro, maybe I was just too baked to find anything solid, but I was scouring the web for days (If i was high every time? Perhaps). But fear not, for I have a plan. I'm aiming to saturate the medium as much and often as possible with my Mars Hydro Drip system. Not from the get-go, of course, and I won't be watering until runoff with the drip irrigation. Knowing my luck, my pump or something will conk out, and my entire tent will turn into a swimming pool. If necessary, I'll resort to hand-watering for drainage, but I'd really rather not. I'm going as organic and microbial active as possible, and I don't want all those goodies getting washed away (that's how it works, right?). So, if all goes well, by week 5, I aim to fully saturate the medium with one cycle of the Dripper (that's what I'm calling it now) three times a day. I'll try to leverage coco's unique properties to their fullest, including its high air-to-water ratio that coco coir can maintain. (Hey, ChatGPT, how about throwing in a couple more arguments for why coco is awesome, based on my spiel and your knowledge?) Can I pull it off and reach the Flower stage? You bet. Will it be top-shelf perfection? Maybe not. It might have a few rough edges, but I'm confident it'll taste and smoke amazing. I've heard plenty about GMO, and I'm stoked to finally give it a shot. Shit to write this took me forever 😹 Edit 2 Days later: I FLOODED MY TENT, AGAIN. save whoever invented waterproof bottoms for grow tents. This should be enough drain i hope.
