so, just getting some base info in..
.
gonna germ 12/29/18 in hopes for a sprouting on 1/1/19 to make a nice start date..
.
gonna do the paper towel germ. 100 mL of stored mountain water and a drop or two of Zeus. I may try the purple orange CBD with Poseidonzime instead of Zeus, not sure yet. definitely need to ensure that these seeds all crack the Shell, and actually make it above soil. (*_I'M LOOKING AT YOU, HSO!!_*) (I bought three blue dream autos and they both had seed casings too thick to break and the seedlings roached out -- I've got one left and I doubt I'll get HSO, again (but, hey, that's just, like, my opinion, man). the photo period blue dream was a freebie, but it's Mr Mateo's favorite strain, and I would like it to prosper, as well.
.
for the seedlings soil, it'll be 1 part each: soil, Coco, perlite, ewc. the blues will be in bio bizz; the citrus in bumper crop; PO CBD in a 50:50 of these two.
.
well, after two days, none have popped, but I'm thinking I'll still put them in the soil and place humidity domes over them. that'll happen this afternoon (1/2/2019). I ended up soaking sections of paper towel, squeezing out excess, and placing a shit-streak of kelp juice down in a skunk stripe fashion. then the see, then in a baggie, sealed, and placed atop my 200w led panel.
.
for the seedlings pots, I have 4.2 inch square air pots. I'll have to be in the watering/misting front quite aggressively, methinks. but I do believe we are getting ahead of ourselves.
.
seedlings began to breach the surface yesterday; today all except the POCBD. but I do believe I can see Disturbed soil of her going out this morning. soooo -- today, January 7rd is our day one. I got humidity domes on them last night, and I reckon I'll water them lightly this afternoon. microbe water consisting of Great White mycos, and likely SLF-100. maybe some Mammoth P and Oh Sh¡t fish microbes. but no water-in nutes.
.
pictorially included for your viewing pleasure is my Mephisto Ripley's OG and a Dutch Passion Auto Daquari Lime, both the same age, one in a 2.5 gallon, the other in a 4.5/4.0 gallon -- both airpots. the Ripley's toppled over or some such ridiculousness and am I glad it did!! hopefully I scan some close ups before this uploads, again..
Just an update - the lemon of tasted like fruit loops. Delicious! People orange CBD was as fun and easy to grow as last time. Great plant. And critical orange punch had the fattest, shortest, stocky-Xmas-tree buds that were also dense, that I've ever harvested. Between this and blueberry for freebies -- holy shit. They're giving away fire!
