Germination and Preparation
The Do-Si-Dos seeds from WeedseedExpress arrived well-packaged in a discreet envelope with bubble wrap and a branded shopping bag. The seeds look promising—large, with beautiful marbling.
I started by soaking the seeds in water with a pH of 5.8. After just a few hours, one seed already sank to the bottom, not a good initial sign. Despite this, I kept all three seeds in the germination process, and all of them developed roots. The seed that initially sank seems to be doing fine, so I’m giving it a fair chance.
The seeds are now placed in Jiffy pellets with a pH of 6.0. The temperature is maintained at around 24°C (75°F). My plan is to monitor these seedlings closely and select the most vigorous one for cultivation.
Grow Plan
I will be using the Sea of Green (SoG) technique in an 80x80 cm space. To maximize the yield and structure, I intend to extend the vegetative stage to about 6 to 8 weeks, possibly up to 10 weeks.
I’m also using organic nutrients, and the motto "Don't Panic, It's Organic" fits my grow style perfectly.
