madgiz Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks for all the comments guys. I am now back from my travels and keen to get going on my sweet seeds grow.. So here goes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgiz Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 Well so far so good as you can see all the seeds have cracked,, I am now going to transplant them into small rockwool cubes Which have been soaking over night in PH water 5.2 Rhizotonic and plant magic catalyst..Although I eventually intend on growing these on in compost I propagate in rockwool because it rarely lets me down and I dont want to make an arse of my self by putting them staight in soil and cocking it up..

withnail Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Nice one madgiz Glad to hear they are on thier way, never used rockwool myself, seems a bit scary :wink: Funny what you feel comfortable with innit Hope you had a good dive, them diving piccies are splendid :notworthy; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgiz Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Cheers withnail,, I was a hydro grower for years before I succumbed to the dark side and I've never really got the hang of propagating in compost.. Anyway they are out of the blocks..(well 4 are ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blayz'd Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Nice one Madgiz. Interesting to see how everyone labels their plants. Seems everyone has their own little method for keeping track of what's what. Good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgiz Posted August 1, 2009 Author Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Thanks for dropping in Blayz'd Well I'll start with the bad news, so far none of the Blackjacks have shown any signs of growth since the have cracked.. Which is a bit of a shame as this was the strain I was most looking forward to growing,, I'll give the another week or so, so they may pick up yet.. Also I managed to heavy handedly snap of the tap root on one of the SAD's... pic1.. Blackjacks sat dormant ... but enough of that, on the lighter side all 3 Icecool's and the remaining 2 SAD's are looking fine and pretty much ready for moving into compost..I will be using a little Plant Magic granules to kick start the roots a splash of rockdust and watered in with 4 ml rhizotonic per 1 litre of water.. I will pot them in to a depth where all the growing tips are the same height.. Pic2..ready for potting on Pic3..quick look at roots Pic4..granules in the potting hole Pic5..ready to go back in the veg cabinet Edited August 1, 2009 by madgiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehenge Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 (edited) Hiya Madgiz.. Unlucky on the Black Jack mate.... Others look to be coming on a treat though.. Hope fully the bad lucks out of the way at the start.... All the best. Stonehenge ETA. Maybe they'll show? I had one that was just a tiny sprout for a few days.. a good three days behind the other seeds i germed!

Pickels Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hiya Madgiz.. Nice set of photos just curious though what you did to ur seeds to crack them do u have a special place or just bang em in a dark cupboard for a few days ? Shame about the 3 the Blackjacks, thats a big bummer but I'm with S/T may be they pop up soon. Good luck with the rest of your grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pickels Thanks for dropping in..All I do is use the loo roll method keeping the paper moist and cover the tuperware container leaving the lid slightly off and put the whole container in a heated prop for a day or 2..Also I think its fair to say the Blackjacks are no more..
