Hi all,
This is my first grow. I got a Rapid Rooter tray and this T5 light: http://growershouse.com/grow-crew-t5-ho-strip-light-2-ft-1-lamp I also have a Jiffy Mini-Greenhouse that's not vented.
I'm going to try germinating 4 feminized Kolossus seeds by using something like this method here: http://www.growweedeasy.com/germinate#starter-cubes-seedling-plugs
and/or: https://www.thcfarmer.com/community/threads/the-laws-of-organic-cannabis.646/#post-4476
This guide cautions against Rapid Rooters and humidity domes: http://www.mandalaseeds.com/Guides/Germination-Guide
Seems like everyone's got their own take on it. Since I'm only going to be using 4 Rooters in the tray, what's the best way to use water? I read some people soak the plugs, but some say not to, and that Mandala guide says not to use a humidity dome, but some say you want to for germination. Should I put it on, but in such a way that there's some breathing room for the plugs?
Also, I read that for the tray, you fill it 1/4" deep with water, which seems like a lot for only 4 plugs. I don't want to mess up the process. I'm planning to put the rest in a zip-lock bag, and store them. I have a personal mister I can use to mist the tops too to keep things moist, but I think I read some say that's unnecessary.
In terms of water, is it best to go with something from this list with a pH of 7? http://www.invalid.com/t/ph-levels-of-bottled-water.224184/
I did try to germinate some black bamboo seeds in Jiffy pellets once, and everything failed. I might have watered too much, or waited too long to plant the seeds and they might have dried out. Maybe it's also due to the Jiffy pellets sucking. I want 100% success with my expensive cannabis seeds!!!!
Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.
