Yo tokers and growers, howz it going, Saturday is apon us, and I've no plants to show you ☹, but we have seeds
. Got some seeds packets with odd ones and two's in them, so going to use up a couple of them. Ordered seeds from Amazon, Girl Scout Cookies and two other packs, shipment say's they will be here Monday, hope to have them to show you next week, check out your local Amazon, the listings seem to differ is some areas, this could be the final straw for illegal weed for ever if Amazon floods the world with seeds. lol Anyway, enough day dreaming. So I've got together 4 different seeds for this run, 3 fems and an unknown? Onto the pics.
Critical Kush, grown this before, nice toke with plenty of cola's.
Aurora Indica, an old timer on the weed growing scene, it has genetics in a lot of modern strains, a good sit you down type of smoke if you need to chill.
Herbie's Bulk Gorilla Glue. Got this from a friend from Spain, came in a birthday card, there was two in the pack.
Sofa Surprise. Found this seed down the back of the sofa in the wreck room.
So it could be male of female, its a wait and see job.
On with the planting. Out with the heat mat to get the seeds going. I like to heat the mat to get it flat before I put the tray and cloche on to it.
Then I add the tray and cloche after I've given it a good soak to build up the moisture level.
I like to close all the vents too.
The idea is to create a moist environment for your seeds to pop, in this next pic it's bang on.
Time to choose the seed media. I've started seeds in all mediums over the years, soil, peat, wood shavings ect ect. Rockwool I liked in DWC for its ability to hold water, but two years down the line and the rockwool is still three in the outdoor compost heap, so in these modern times its just not fitting in. So I strarted with these Root Riot cubes after grower from The Dank Den put me onto them, and I have to say I've not looked back, you can grow cuttings, seeds, spores, the lot with these cubes, there are other brands, this is just what was in circulation in my area when I bought mine.
Only problem I have with the cubes is they dry out, I don't have the capacity to grow 24 plants at a time, so a high tech method was developed over a long period to solve this.
Tepid water at a PH of 6.0.
The other thing I like about the root riots is they come on a tray, which comes in very handy.
Next up I push the seeds into the blocks, I find this stops the seed husk sticking to the seedling, and label the cubes.
Put the cube seed tray onto the heated tray and put on the the cloche. I like the cubes central.
After a while the moisture will build up, resist the urge to keep opening the lid and letting out the moisture.
And that's it for this week, some time in the next 7 days the seeds will pop, so hope to have seedlings to show you next week, 4 of would be a result.
So until then, keep tokin folks, and have a nice weekend.
