2024 ONE GALLON CHALLENGE DISCUSSION TOPIC

[Deadstill]

I'm in the exact same boat, after 84 hours I had about a 1/8" tap root. I eneded up planting it a couple nights ago. No idea if it's growing or not.
I blame the drop in the sink....

I started soaking a White Runtz x Okie since I only had 1 of the Tropicana Cookies.
If the Tropicana Cookies isn't doing anything by Monday morning, I'm going to do the White Runtz x Okie for the contest and be a little behind. I'm behind already so it is what it is.

You guys aren't alone my contestant seed never popped, either. Now I smoke on peace pipe and contemplate sacrificing one more seed from the RG stash.

Maybe there should be some type of “goon squad” category

I think if you are using the soak, paper towel, sprout, transplant method it’s worth giving it a little bit more time in the towel to establish a tap root. Germinating seeds isn’t always easy, it’s the most vulnerable point in the plants life, the newer or fresher the seeds the easier they pop, but older seeds are subject to mishandling, such as improper storage environments. I have had circumstances where my entire collection had to be removed from a freezer and stored in a room temperature closet in summer time. I think this seriously lowered my germination rate and killed some seeds. The only other point that I can think of is age, I’m sure if stored properly really old seeds will germinate and grow healthy plants case in point Captn’s 86 MW&KG.
Those seeds were almost forty years old. Those are just my personal observations, I see way better results with direct sew planting with new fresh seeds, otherwise I will resort to to the soaking and paper towel method for older seeds.
Until I see the fourth node I consider the seedlings extremely vulnerable, I’ve lost more plants in the first two weeks after sprouting, than any other point up until harvest.

I got three Maine Coons, we call them the Coon squad too, can we join the cause?

 

[Rama777]

I probably rip an ounce at lest myself a week lol, every joint is 3g or more, at least 6-7-8 or more depending On what I’m doin that day if I’m outside I’m probably holdin a joint, if I see a neighbor I’m probably rollin a joint if I sit down.. yep you guessed it I’m probably rollin a joint

My wife will smoke here or there but very far between lol

But atm… I’m making some infused coconut oil 1/2 oz for a cup and a half sound good?

I recently infused about the same amounts. I gave my wife 1/4 teaspoon and she felt nothing. So the next night she goes for a solid tablespoon and more than once she needed me to remind her that she wasn’t going to wake up insane lol. She got higher than she’s ever been in her life

 

[Tumbleweed375]

No sprout yet, but I coulda swore I saw a crack in the seed before dropping in the dirt... maybe she ain't in the goon squad, just a little thuggish.

This was me the other day when selecting this one. I got a good feeling about her slow ass.

 

[Natep]

I'm sorry, I can't relate.
My significant other is like, "you bought another tent?!" "Great, now I can smoke even more and make it seem like you never bought anything"

Between me and my lady we go through a 75 pack of cones each week. I keep 3 tents going and never have any to give away.

 

[Galgrows]

Looks like you're gonna represent all us female growers in this one. We'll be pulling for ya.

Well i'm gonna give it all and call her " Darla"

See I never wait, I soak for 12 hours then drop in the hole, usually have a seedling within 2-3 days, I never liked exposing the tap root to air so I always just planted right after a quick soak

Those little lights weren’t cutting it. The kush was stretching. I’m glad I didn’t just germinate 1 seed. The black sugar and another c99 x blueberry never popped through the soil. I still have hope though lol I’ll give them a cpl more days. Set up the closet till I can get the tent set up. Im hoping this carbon filter does what it’s supposed too. Lol I just moved to a condo so this should be interesting lol I’ve been drying for the past month exhausting outside and no complaints yet. only difference is when I set up my tent it’s going to be on the front side of the building so I’ll be exhausting 6’ from the entryway to the building. I’ve been smoking out front as much as possible to have the smell around as often as I can lol.

Cool beans. A few hours/days won't matter. Get 'em in folks

My wife took ONE of my 00 caps, a little under a ml, went ACROSS THE STREET to the neighbors for her daughter's baby shower and had to be walked home. Granted it's not your normal across the street

And we are up hill from them but she was melting into shit like the couch, the wall. She takes 2 CBD caps every day but never THC

I gotta pot up my autos.

Looks like there's 6 now. Plenty for making seeds. Hope I don't have to use my entry if female although I'd rather have the fresher seeds and this cross, Bobby's Widow x Toof Decay (Bobby's Bad Tooth?) should be a good one.

It's been several years since I ran these and after doing a bit of reading I believe they are about 75 dayers but for some reason I thought they went longer last time. I can't seem to remember much these days but both my entries are above ground

 

[BearWater]

I checked on my sour diesel this evening and it was broken on the stalk just above the soil . I’m not sure how that happened, so I braced her up with a skewer and pipe cleaner and then dropped a little more soil around her. Hope she’s okay. If I didn’t know better I’d suspect sabotage:

damn dude! That sucks! Hope she pulls through!!!

Freaking love this song and music video!

You guys aren't alone my contestant seed never popped, either. Now I smoke on peace pipe and contemplate sacrificing one more seed from the RG stash.

I just went and dug up the seed, it's a dud. However, I do have a clone of RG that just showed it's first root out of the root riot cube last night, so I'm just going to grow that since I know a few of you wanted to see how this Romulan Glue turns out.

So I am changing my contestant plant to this Apollo by Brothers Grimm. As I said, I planted this seed at the same time as the original contestant seed, and I wanted to do something from Brothers Grimm so Apollo it is. On a brighter note it's alleged to be a very potent variety, so I'm excited about that.

 

[Zer0Tolerance]

Never skip leg day! She's pushing up like a champ this morning.

 

[Galgrows]

Dang that's a great close up shot
