I had several extra seeds that had come in some flower that I had picked up at the local dispensary, so I decided to give them a try. I had 6 seeds that were Gelato and 6 that were Amherst Sour Diesel. The six Gelato seeds did look like they were better seeds, but decided to try the AMSD anyway. I had really like both strains so I had held on to the seeds. On 7/25/20 I put all 6 seeds of each kind in some purified water, and then transplanted the seeds to rock wool on 7/26/20.
Currently the seeds are sitting in a humid dome under a T5 light for 18 hours a day. The first sprouts popped on 7/29/20. So far 5 of the 6 Gelato have sprouted, and it looks like 1 of the AMSD is trying. After the second set of leaves pop, I will transplant them to their final 3 gallon pot. It is my understanding that Gelato seedlings don't like to be handled much, so I will only transplant once.
Day 5 the seedlings are beginning to reach quite a bit. The AMSD seeds have not germinated at all. Never had much hope for them. I took the 5 best Gelato seedlings and transplanted them into 3 gallon fabric pots using Fox Farm Happy Frog soil. Gave each plant 12 ounces of water.
