Good things happen in the dark....Alright guys I’m back but with bad horrible news…..we got 100% tails but they are too small to transplant. Most of them are around 1/8 or less so I will let them sit in the dark for another 12 and we should be good to transplant to the soaking jiffy’s. So on this I will sign off and we meet again tomorrow for another episode of “theindoorfarmer plants some seeds” will we succeed or fail tune up tomorrow!
Hey , greetings!..I like the way you work, very clean and a nice grow behind you. I like the germination method but too much water for me I wring out the towels so they are wet but no extra water....same on top....what ever works for us I guess and I use Spring water...recommended by a seed company I bought from in the past....in fact they said they would only guarantee germination if I used that water.....I've stuck with that ever since and have had good success.Good morning guys, welcome back to another day of gardening jamaïcain tomatoes « Wink Wink). With your host here Theindoorfarmer I will carry you through my next steps to success on getting baked but first let’s go see those seeds.
Alright the tails look good an I think we are ready to plantmaybe 2 of them are not as long as I would like but the majority wins so let’s put them in anyway, they will eventually catch up. If any of them were not to come up no worries we will fill that canopy anyway (might take a week more) but a seed not germinating is not the end of the world (unless you only have 1 lol) back so serious you can always fill that canopy one should never worry. Now let’s see some pics;

So next we opened the containers and we had decent tails on the girls so I decided to go ahead and put them in their new home. I never want the tails to be too long neither as it can be harder to manipulate when transplanting without putting some unnecessary pressure on the fragile root.

Here first I took one of my soaking jiffy’s and squeeze it a bit to get some water out then I proceeded with just loosening a bit the top of the jif, then I prepared the little crevasse where the seed will be going in. Not too deep just enough so that the seed will rest even with the surface.

Then, I take tweezers and gently carry the seed in its place. Tails go down and helmet goes up. (It’s not as bad as it looks)View attachment 1210836
Then once correctly in place I gently cover it up and I often leave a bit of the seed uncovered (don’t know why but I think it helps her see the lightAt least that’s what I tell myself lol)
Very controlled and super well-plAnned IF, looking forward to seeing more.View attachment 1210845
Then all the girls went to party In The humidity dome for a 24hr light show until we see some cotyledon appear. Then the party will be taken down to 18 hours of light and 6 of rest.
View attachment 1210839I sprayed the inside of the dome to keep it humid in there and still have the heat mat under at 28 Celsius. The tent is now in production mode boys. So I like to keep it around 23-24 Celsius on the controller and around 75% humidity to help in the final steps of germination and to also help with the removal of the helmet (that’s the seed that is stuck on the fragile stem). If the air is too dry the small plant will have difficulty getting that thing off by itself.(More tips on this later on)

So from now on every couple of hours I will see if the dome needs some humidity (by looking if the walls of the dome are still wet) and also see their progress. All of this is done through the window of the tent to avoid disturbing the environment.
So now let’s exercise patience while nature does it’s thing. We will be back in 24 hours to update you guys on how many survived the transplant and to continue on this crazy adventure of making some GREAT smoke (and maybe even some concentrates) signing off now and will see you guys later! Peace
