Hey all
Starting my jouney with 2 autoflowers from cream of the crop seeds. I put these 2 to bed in a couple of pre soaked ‘easy plugs’.
In a rather Mcgyver fashion i heated my 3d printers bed to 23 degrees celcius and my humidity is looking nice.
Thats day 1 in a nut shell.
How do you all choose to germinate and if your method is differwnt to mine; what are the pros and cons to it?
I like the soaked Rapid Rooters. Just make sure the light is on when the first one pops
i let them float in a glass of water fir a day or 2 till the taproot appears then into rockwell
I use the old fashion tupperware with napkins as the base, seeds inside, another layer of napkins and that’s it. Keep the napkins humid and put in a dark and humid place. Always worked.
I like doing it the way you are. Once you see roots coming out of the plugs you can easily transplant them right into your party cups without disturbing the roots.
I placed in cup for 2 days ,they sunk to bottom and waited for taproot to grow to about half inch. I then placed in wet napkin but here is something I did that I hadn’t seen done before. I also put a little bit of cocoa noir covering the seed in between the already wet napkin for an additional day. I got a 1 inch taproot to place into my mixture of organic soil and cocoa coir.
For some reason my seeds wont grow in peet pellets? Any thoughts?
They need to stay wet. They should sprout in 2-4 days. If they don’t, they’re probably not viable.
Also, place the seed in the medium pointed end down and only 1/8" below the surface and use a small piece of the medium to cover it.
Hey @dopestdad and @Kindahazy, Welcome to the Community!
I hope you enjoy it and we can all make it grow into something great.
First grow was over the summer and we did the paper towel method. Germinated 5, 4 sprouted roots. Ended up with 1 male. Doing first indoor grow now and germinated with using seed in soil in with heating pad. Worked first time trying. Just trying different methods before starting auto seeds.
