hey spare , usually I go straight to a small Dixie and just bury em half inch , I really don't like the tails searching thru paper towels , and I've seen a lot of newbie screw ups with that method , these guys and girls were put on paper so I could observe germination by the hours , 24 hour check , six more hours check , I think it was around 34 hours , just want to observe vigor traits from these babies ......
Normally I will soak em and drop em in some dirt at first tail peeking out ..... Maybe 1/8 inch and I drop em sideways cover em up with a pinch , cover with Saran and rubberband, and a day later good to go...
ur method is definitely faster than my shot glasses. usually 3 days to tails, that long.
this go, one strain, a chem descendant, all of em were essentially an anomaly to me. as u say... went pretty fast; maybe day.5 & that long. definitely, by second day. and those have surpassed the other 2 same day strains- all the chem ones, by about triple the growth. u can tell- they're gonna b beasts.
yeah, i love the seedling ease and advantage of dirt. just set em n forget em; not even stress, "laces out (ace Ventura)/pointy/tail down....
i guess i took em out of the seedling tray, too early. i put em in the cloner so i let em harden a bit, without having to breast feed em, twice a day and i guess i drown the plugs, entirely, this time cause they shot up, sideways n allways- and all I've seen, so far, is tap roots. maybe I'm used to seeing clones, all everywhered out, but I'm staring at em goin, "whhhaaat the fuuuuck?", and ended up changing my statement to, "fuck it"..., burying em, deep. so the first three are gonna take, just fine. i get back from vegas and Tommy's chili- i didn't even know, finally spread from socal... and I've got an hour of lights on, still..., "saaaweeeet!". so i go to plug 3 more... naturally, the ph adjusted to 7.0, long after this morning... so i gotta dick with that... try not to kill another thousand seedlings and put in the 3... still crossing my fingers over the first 3 that were fine... but it was 6.2, when i left... 5min pump cycles, my ass!
so i figure- i can sneak in a cigarette and do another 6....
30min and lights out, later... I'm thinkin, "shit... did i space 30min, in the tent, or smoking a cigarette?"... and i fucking loathe, when they don't get an opportunity to settle with the lights, pullen em up! this is my life!
now, let's talk about vegas.
am i mistaken in thinking it's a recreational state? dood... we drove side streets back, from like st George, north Vegas, to Henderson... N O T ONE, single, green cross and i mean like Larry the roofer got us lost, making a uturn, at lake mead so it ain't like we didn't take the scenic route and we were deep in the hood. i got 2 new bullet holes, to prove it. u should see my lung! i could smell dope. the cops were packin automatic rifles. I'm certain i saw at least 3 dealers and 27... possibly 28 hookers, depending on whether, "well, i work, tomorrow night", counts... not one place, where i could check out seeds. is it just me?!! Larry the roofer got his fucking thrifty's ice cream. but no pot shop, for me!
i would have given anything to have passed a leatherby's, in Nevada, after he got his fucking hot fudge Sunday! he's bitching, the entire way... i have kick ass a/c, in the ghetto sled and it's like 5000, humid degrees out, satan passes us in a jacuzzi hummer, with naked chix, laughing and all he can say is, "they probably won't have black cherry"... and he not once, rolls up the window and cigar smoke, is blinding me!... so now, i have to use the god dam phone and u know this freaks me out and yes... they have black cherry... so he comes back out, balls deep, slurping out some random, profanities and i say cause I'm surch a nice guy
-sc
did u finally get your black cherry
and he has the audacity to fucking say to me... we're talking- lake mead and 500 uturns, later... because he figures if the navigation system is a woman and he disagrees with the lying whore, that he can actually argue with and curse her, as if sweet talking her, is going to get her to change her mind...
realize, he took her very personally...
-larry the roofer
no... it's a hot fudge Sunday and they barely put any hot fudge on it...
we have gone round and round about how to properly order hot fudge, "4 add shots, please"...
i mean come on! this man would bitch, if u hanged em with a NEW rope!
