Inside Mother Plants

Im going to start germination today with the paper towel method. Anyone got any words of wisdom? I’m nervous 😆

I can help you with direct sow. The paper towel works as well. Just a higher chance (in my opinion) to screw of the tap root but fumbling it. Good luck!

I want to place in a rockwood plug… should I paper towel first? I’ve got them in shot glasses in water in my dark weed cabinet. Growers choice suggested a soaking of seeds for like 12 hours first then continue with your germination. Do the shells really need that long or do I wait for them to sink is all?

I’ve never really used the cup and water method i usually do the paper towel or straight to soil if you doing the the paper towel method the there is two schools of thought one is as soon as you see a tap root put them in the soil about 1/4 to 1/8 inch deep and cover but don’t pack the other is let the tap root grow a little bit almost to the point of the shell about to fall off use a pen or skinny stick and make a hole as long as the tap root with the seed pod on top and cover the tap root and depend if the shell is off or you can see a little bit of green leaf don’t cover if you can’t see it the light sprinkle dirt on the top. If humidity is low you can use a dome or you can put direct in the soil or peet pod and moisten the soil at the seed and wait again you can use a dome if needed

Thanks! I do have small domes so I’ll keep the domes on til I see the cotyledons appear and take em off cause the domes aren’t that tall

Yeah you’ll do good, sounds like you’ve done your research. That will serve you well. A lot of growing is research and trial and error lol

and try try again! Lol

Damn skippy “ oops looks like we messed up another one I guess we’ll have to burn this slowly in bowl to destroy it and start again” lol but fr practice makes perfect and a lot of practice make a stoner lol

Lmao 🤣 I think I just peed a little

Is it weird if I did too? Jk but a have been doing some practicing so that prob it 😝

Isn’t this crazy my friend whom I had to babysit his banjo (planted outside) said this about the towel method I tried per growers choice guarantee… “Yeah I never do that. I put them in a damp towel in the fridge for a week to 10 days actually then I bring them out let them get up to room temperature, then into terrarium few hours lid on, few off, so I don't cook them. Take me like 15 to 20 days maybe for starters but when they're ready the roof is huge and almost ALWAYS they take to soil immediately and have grow like mad” What’s with the fridge? Anyone do that before? And if so what’s the purpose?

I would totally get this off my body if it was one me! It looks like a tick!! 😆

Think all the power and magic in that one little “tick” it just has to be nurtured and…. “Ok uncle Doug is stoned again, can someone get the lighter out of his hand” lol jk are you doing one plant at a time?

😆 I’m doing a few. 3 seeds at once.

Or you growing in a tent? Or using a green house or inclosed porch or something?

Enclosed porch but I’m going to get a grow tent as soon as I get some more cash lol my auto flower is starting to stink so a few more weeks it will be skunkified.

Until you get a tent stick to the auto flowers because they don’t care about light cycles it’s kinda the same principle behind green house in the winter

Yeah I figured. I am actually going to get soon so once those clones need em it will be here. ;)

I’m trying to get me one for this winter also

L to R Watermelon, CBD, Purple Urk

Noice!

I’m like a nervous mother hen waiting for her chicks to hatch! I wanna peak sooo bad but not til tomorrow 😆

I think mine took like 5 days but I usually wait for a longer tap root

Plant as soon as you see tap root. Less chances of it flipping around in the dirt. Atleast for me if I wait any longer that's when I usually have problems with them breaking etc

I’m glad you said this cause I decided the same thing that there would be more changes I’d break the root and harder to handle with my dropsy numb hands. Luckily the two are in without a hitch about 4 hours ago. Thanks so much

🤘 jus tryna look out

Thanks man

Np

Is this a pure CBD strain or a 1:1? I sometimes have an adverse reaction to THC. It really depends. At times it makes me really anxious, and I have had panic attacks after smoking before. I think as Ive gotten older my brain chemistry has changed a bit. I want to try a 1:1 strain and see if the addition of CBD will help to reduce this. But when I have tried just CBD in the past, it doesn't do anything at all. So I'm a bit torn.. I know a 1:1 with say 10%:10% will produce a THC high, I just wonder if the 2 will actually work together. I have little experience with this. I have some 1:1 strains.. I just wish I could find some 1:1 bud to try this theory. But you have to grow it. Then you have to worry about phenotypes. If I just popped one seed, it may be a pheno that say, has no CBD, or no THC. Not sure if I want to dedicate an entire grow to a pack of these seeds.. lol, but it may be the only way to know.

It’s called Ringo’s Gift from Growers choice. I think it has less than 1% thc. But I’m sure they have something that is both? Check them out. I’m new at growing everything 😆 But as a person in extreme pain nearly everyday I like to mix CBD flower and thc together when I make edibles (or cook with infused mct oil) and I can do my own ratios between the two. I do know if I smoked too much I always smoke some CBD after and it cuts that head high very well.

Interesting. I may have to try some CBD flower. I could always mix it as I roll it and seee how it feels. Growing is a fun, frustrating, but lovely experience all at the same time. I'm pretty sure you'll fall in love with it. Even if I totally stoped smoking, is still grow cannabis just because it's such a beautiful plant. It has specific needs. But once you get your bearings it's pretty easy to fix any issue that may arise.

I’m too impatient I just have to forget it for a couple days or find something else to do lol

What kinda of ringo did you get? Is it a 1:1 thc to cbd or straight cbd or some other ratio?

It’s pretty much straight. THC <1%

Do you make oil? Or butter? With it

All of thee above 😆 I always have something good to grab to nibble especially in colder months when I can’t go outside. hubby is a non smoker and can’t stand any smell even when it’s a fruity smell from a vape. I can’t get anything by him 😆 I want to change his man cave room into my grow/smoke area and move his gretch’s from the wall to the music room with the fenders 😂 that would go over like a lead balloon!

My wife doesn’t mind me smoking just not in the house she doesn’t want her work and church clothes smelling like it 😂 so I have to go outside or during the winter I can go in my daughters room she off to college and smokes too so it works for me lol

What is this thing your starting them in?

Letpot

That’s cool I’ve only seen them one other time, does it help?

It’s a good starter for sure! It’s was 50 and I planned on starting a veg garden in fall 😆 so it was just laying around These are first seeds in it. So far so good. 😊 but first things grown in it were my clones after a week of them sitting in a glass cup in sill. 😆

So is it just for hydroponics?

A start in hydro yes. I still am going to use the light once I transfer the seedlings

I c. I have never missed with one or really messed with hydroponics it’s interesting just seems above my pay grade lol

😆 I guess it was a good start in hydro for me as it’s pretty much set and go even for the seeds which surprised me… I was worried about the rockwool cubes staying too wet for the seeds, but nope. 🙂‍↔️

That fan being right on the cbd one is burning her

That fan was just placed before pic when I cupped em then I thought better of it and have it further away from all of them. 😆 I’m thinking it didn’t like the rockwool plugs as they just kept it too wet. I’m gonna try germinating in soil next time. 😉

Fuck those stupid plugs jus money gimmick swear they kill more plants than they help

I had a feeling lol

NIce recovery. This one is off to a great start.
