Hi gang. First post but as a big believer in DIY I am willing to try anything once. Up until recently I had terrible luck with seed germination, partly because of not keeping my germination area uniformly moist (w/o being too moist) and partly because my disability can make my hands shake and transferring germinated seeds rarely ends well for the root tips. So when a buddy sent me some Uranium 420 seeds he made, I knew I had to come up with a more foolproof method...and this is it. So far (only done a few tests), 100%, fast germination. Cheap too, made it with stuff I had laying around for other grow projects. Without further ado, my seed starter.
Stuff you need:
Items:
1. cheap air pump, hose and airstone
2. Jiffy seed and clone starter (like < 10 bones at KMart)
3. 4 Rapid Rooter plugs
4. About a square foot of capillary mat
1. Take apart the Jiffy starter kit; discard or save the plugs for some future experiment.
2. Poke a hole in the side of the starter bottom about an inch from the lip, 1/4 inch hold for the airhose.
3. Insert airhose, connect airstone, position on bottom between riser pegs:
4. Add the bottom riser tray...
5. Soak the capillary mat in pH balanced water, then hang over side with one end in the bottom of the tray:
6. Lay the rest of the mat over the riser tray, then add the upper plastic tray (has holes for the old Jiffy plugs we are not using). Almost ready...
