Got 20x1g pots and 5x10g loaded with fresh made soil and my new secret ingredient...I build my soil according to the recipe but then i add 1/2g pine bark fines (mulch) and 1/2g rice hulls. These act as additional aeration and i like the texture they give the soil. Makes it nice and airy. If you're like me you have to mix by hand. I like to feel it. sometimes i know what to add just by running it through my hands a few times. A guy who i would regard as one of the most knowledgeable growers in the LITFA methods taught me about this magic amendment...wetdog.
Ready for my hunt. Only 3 haven't shown their heads. 6 have fully sprouted and i see the other 3 with seeds about to push out of the soil. I'm seeing a 100% banger. I added something a little different to my root riot cubes. i soaked them in a solution of rain water, coconut water, aloe, fulvic acid, and soap nut concentrate for oxygen. I don't use a heat mat and they germinate faster! I got to thinking...lol...i know scary....now in nature when seeds are sprouting it's still cold outside...so why am i using a heating mat??? Replicate nature...think like nature...let it dictate your next move. It worked! they germinated way faster and popped up and started praying ready to roll.
I'll start my thread up soon. I need help since you guys have worked some strains.
