Since you are running the A/C all the time anyway you probably won't have to worry about humidity issues.

If monsoons are bad that's a time to be concerned about humidity .always a concern in a closed tent that has no air circulation.

so it looks like it will be the freebies i got..

nor easter X chem 91. lets home for a chem 91 leaning pheno that will kick my ass.
now i will use a small glass cake pan, some paper towl.. and put above the freezer its warm and dark there.

tomorrow i will get to home depot regardless i even have to limp to it. hah..
i just hope none of the seeds pop in that time before i have soil.. sucks not being mobile. hah.

i think this coin flipped fucked me. hah. i did not realize the nor easter was a satriva too. hah. i like the indica for its body high.

when i looked last time i found no info on these strain.. but i did fin dthis just now looking into its parents.

Nor'easter

Genetics: Chemdawg D x Snowdawg
Flowering Length: 70-75
Taste/Smell: simply awesome!! a perfect blend of both parents...fruity, candied chemmy menthol.
Effect: intense high like Chem D, but with more heartpounding-sativa effects.

throw in chem 91 and i guess ill be on crack from the discription..


so i guess i will just go ahead and toss a stargate OG into a solo cup, and let her him grow so i have at least a little of indica . the body high helps with pain.. i do like a little zip to the head tho..


maybe it will be the best work out strain ( nor easter x chem 91). hah, if it was not for bad luck id have none.

i have no idea about snowdawg. guess i will be growing herbal crack hah.

The times I tried the water in a glass method didn't work well for me. Hope it does for you though as many find success with it. I went back to the paper towel method with much success. I see you did that too at first. What happened did the tap roots rot? If so remember to keep the paper towel moist but not soaked. I like to drench it and then squeeze a decent amount of the water out. I fold it into a rectangle, throw a few beans in fold the top over them, throw it in a Tupperware container and come back 24hrs. Most of the time they should show tap roots by then.

naw, nothing dude and i did not let it dry out etc.. was a real bitch.. im thinking maybe its temmps.. people see 80.. buty dude 80 here is like 70 else where so i dunno.. actually instead of tossing them i through them 4 seeds into a cup and 3 floated.. so who knows.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the cup either...something about drowning your taproots that bothers me. I lost more that way than any.

The paper towel way needs to be in a ballpark area..if you can hold it up and get water drips it's TOO wet. I simply dab a few different spots on it and let the papertowel soak the water up and distribute it across itself.


Now the real secret is 2 things. I'm probably at a 98% out of the last 150 seeds or so.

#1 add a teaspoon or so of h2o2 to the water. Either cup or papertowel.

#2 trick of the trade... I rarely share..it's how you get those "hard to pop seeds to germ" like ogkb etc..

Take your seed and run them down a fingernail file a few times making sure to get both sides...you wanna see VERY small bits of shell on the file....viola! I promise a great success rate by this method. I bagged these 1.5 days ago after they hit the fingernail file. I just cracked these a week or so ago without the file method got 4/10 to germ. As you see now...10/10 *note the condensation on the bag wall* :)

if i do the paper towel method it has to be done with a plastic bag,, to damn dry here.. the paper towel wanted to dry out so fast. but i kept on it since i do not sleep worth a fuck anyhow.

ill roll with the cup and see what happens. if this fails.. then i know what the problem is..

If it doesn't work out guaranteed that method Simply just posted up will work brotha. Very key tips. Ya if you don't put the towel in a bag or container of sorts it won't work. That sounds like the reason why they didn't germ.

I like the cup method but I've done em all with sucess. I can vouch for a touch of h2o2. Its a nice safeguard against any fungus or other nasties that may be present. I think the cup is nice for Jipp since he has super low humidity. I'm very new so please correct me if I'm wrong but you can't drown your taps in the first week? The shot glass has been the only 100% for me so far.
