3/23 All seeds have been placed between wet paper towels to germinate. The folded pt is placed in a small zip lock bag which I spray the inside of the bag with a mister and breath into it before sealing. This has always worked good for me germinating. From here i think I'll do my normal routine and put them in peat pellets once they pop. Then they'll be placed under an aerograden with new lights. Once root development allows it I then transplant to five gallon solo cups. While verging indoors they will be under a 1000 watt l.e.d light (ill update make and model), and one or two 150 watt hps lights depending on necessity. Final substrate is fox farm ocean forest, happy frog and roots organic 707. Containers are mostly 20 gallons with one 10g one 40g one 50g and one 30g. Planning to do the same this year as years past. May use coast of Maine Stonington Blend this year. Plants are grown in a "Grow Cage". This year I'm considering adding some netting and other improvements. However, I'm getting ahead of myself. I need them to germinate first. They don't go out until at least June 1st.
3/25 All special Kush #1 germinated and were transplanted into peat pellets. 4 of 5 pink kush seeds were germinated good enough for the transplant. One seed was further behind so I left that one for another night to catch up. Purple queen seems to be taking longer. Such small seeds but I can see a couple starting to open up.
3/30 It's been 7 nights since germination. The purple queen has ONE seed with a TINY taproot coming out. I've written to n.a.s.c and am waiting to hear back. All those Trop Cherry seeds popped in 24hrs so it's nothing I'm doing. I have other seeds arriving this week. I moved the 5 royal Kush and 4 Pink Kush to where they will veg until they can go outside. They are transplanted into Fox Farm Happy Frog and are under a 1000watt L.E.D with just the veg switch on. I want to make sure I don't burn them. When they get bigger ill add an hps.
3/31 I weighed a cup of dry soil and it came to exactly 200 grams. I then weighed the seedlings and they were either 10g over or under the DRY soil. I need to get them on a proper watering schedule. I watered everything with a shot glass. I also filled a pot with water under the light to increase RH. I'm bummed out that WHOLE pack of purple queen was junk. I hope North Atlantic Seed Company goes good for it. I still los all this time. And I thought MAYBE ONE might be popping but NOPE. I filled out the necessary paperwork and have seeds in the mail too. I have seeds here but Maine is a challenging climate and I want to run strains that will give me the best chance for success.
It's 3/28 and I'm going to have to switch to veg tomm. A COUPLE purple queen seeds look like they are cracking through that rock hard seed but the others have their first true leaves and long taproot out of the peat pellet and are brushing th top dome. I bought one bag of happy frog and some solo cups. I took soil out of the bag to warm cause it was freezing. I hung the lights and got everything ready for an easy transplant in the morning. The soul is warm enough so I COULD do it bow but tjey are going to another location amd it's easier to transport in the peat pot dome. They can take one more night. A couple might bend but they'll be alright. I've been super busy today or I'd already have had them done. The trop cherry hasn't been 24hrs yet and still looks like the same stage as the purple queen. I really hope they pop but I'm starting veg with these girls tomm. I've got gorilla skittlez and mk ultra coming if the purple queen is a bust. Even if the go good for it it really fucks you overctime wise.
The purple queen seeds are JUST starting to so a tap root. Must be old seeds. One pink kush seed still has not sprouted. The other 4 are out of the soil with seeds on their head. The special kush has 4 out of the peat that have lost their shell. I'll have to mist the pink kush and inspect with tweezers. I can't move forward here until all seeds have germinated. One pink kush still hasn't popped and might not. The purple queen seefs were incredibly small and very dark. I can see them slowly opening (a couple) and a tap root emerging. I hope so because today is the 27th. I don't want to go through replacements. Supposably they will make up the difference if not 90%. We'll see. If needed ivhave other strains I can pop or I could add a couple clones if needed. I have a TON of trop cherry I'm just wondering if it would do OK in Maines
Had to do some surgery with some tall helmet heads. They are doing great now. 4 pink kush and 5 special kush are doing great. I'm still waiting on purple queen. ONE seed seems like it has broken free with a small taproot. I popped some trop cherry as back up and ordered some gorilla skittles and mk ultra if these don't pop. I shouldve moved to veg but I wanted all the seeds to be germinated. I could always go back and change it I guess.....
