With my first indoor grow (local clones) ending the third week of flower, I decided to start my second grow (seeds) on New Years Day. Since starting from seed and trying to grow perpetually will be a first for me, I decided to not break into all of my premium seeds and practice with some I couldn't care less about.
Yesterday I dropped two seeds from six different strains into cups of water. The strains chosen for this run are Tangie, Blackjack, Gelat OG, Aurora Indica, Alien Stardawg x Polar Bear OG, and 9lb. Hammer. 12 seeds total.
Today, I bought a rack from Home Depot, and a four bulb Sun Blaze T-5 from my Hydro store. 4 6500K bulbs. I was gifted three freebee mystery seeds while there. I was told they're Birthday Cake. So I dropped one of them in a cup of water for a new total of 13 seeds.
I'll be starting off with Happy Frog and transplanting into Ocean Forest.
So far two seeds popped tap roots after a 24 hour soak. (1 Tangie & 1 BlackJack) They went into clear plastic cups with the Happy Frog soil. Those clear plastic cups were then placed into red solo cups. (A tip after reading through JWM2's grow journal.)
The remaining seeds were placed into wet Chipotle napkins (they looked cheap) and placed into a zip lock bag left open. I'll check them tomorrow.
I'll be leaving the T-5 on 24hrs.
Side note: As an experiment I took four cuttings from my current grow. I threw them in a cup of tap water to see what happens. They've been placed under the T-5 light for re-veg if they survive and grow roots. I've never cloned before either. I couldn't care less if they don't survive. I just wanted to try this and see what happens. I'll replace the water in the cup every two to three days until they die or grow roots.
I'll upload some pics tomorrow and hopefully I'll have some more seeds to plant. Cheers
