Grower not a shower Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Aye mate, ordered direct from the website last Tuesday. Was kinda hoping they’d be here by now. According to the tracker they’ve been sitting in Belgium since Friday at least it gave me a chance to sort my grow room out I suppose 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grower not a shower Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 So I’ve checked the tracker again this morning and finally they’re in the uk and in a van ready to be delivered today. I’m so excited, feels like being a kid at Christmas again. With any luck they’ll be sat there waiting for me when I get in from work tonight so I can get them started in their temporary new homes straight away. My plan is to just pop them into little biodegradable seed pots filled with coco which has been dampened with plain water and put them into a propagator in my tent with the lights off untill I see they’ve broke the surface. Then I’ll turn my 250w mh and extraction on and pot up about a week later once they’ve rooted out the paper pots. I won’t be giving any nutes until I see the first set of serrated leaves then start off with some formulex. I’m using coco professional + so between that and the plants own built in goodies I think I’m right in saying that should be enough? Does this sound about right? Don’t wanna kill them before they’ve even been born. I’ve read about the other methods like paper towels, root riot cubes (which I’ve got) glass of water etc but I’d rather not handle them after the taproot has shown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadenugs Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Hi mate, should be fine by your method. I do mine in paper towels in a plastic tub in my veg cab and try and keep it between 75 and 80- 85f. I don't grow in coco but a good tip is to watch the cotyledon leaves, the little ones with no serration. When they start yellowing the seedling is ready for some feed. You might need feed before in coco but go steady. Good luck If you do decide to use the root riots watch them as they dry out quickly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why I don’t really wanna use them. Im reading about so many days different ways people germ seeds so I’m gonna hazard a guess at there’s no “right” way to do it, just ways that people prefer to use. Roll on 6pm so I can get home to meet them for the first time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badbadger Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 @Grower not a shower I've been working on a standardised germination technique that is reliable,effective,cheap,works and is simple. Ive done nearly 40 seeds with it since and only 1 fail that did germinate but died of. I'm going to do a full tutorial on 10 Chemo Remo that are a pain to pop as they have tough shell cases so going in big!! Keep an eye out mate and good luck with your grow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grower not a shower Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Thanks @BadbadgerI’ll keep an eye out for that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grower not a shower Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 They’re here!!! So so as soon as I got through the door I seen the Jiffy bag sat on the stairs waiting for me. I ran upstairs, grabbed my biodegradable pots, filled them 3/4 full with coco and pre soaked them while I carefully opened the envelope. I looked inside and found 2 little tins with my white widow and blue cheese babies in them, my free Critical + in a separate phial and a bonus phial with 2 mystery seeds (wonder what these could be?) Once the standing water had drained from my pots I planted 2 x WW AND 2 x BC, covered loosely with 1/2” of coco, popped them into my propagator then into my grow tent with lights off untill they crack the surface. I honestly can’t remember the last time I was so happy. Let the growing commence! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so might be best in the 2017-17 section as we will be selecting the top 3 mid next year as best diaries if not here is fine and will check back in on the next update Glad they landed safe and sound. Bring in the seedlings All the best Mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grower not a shower Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 (edited) Hi @Dinafem-MarkI was hoping you'd pop by 26 minutes ago, Dinafem-Mark said: Will you be doing a full documented grow mate? If so might be best in the 2017-17 section as we will be selecting the top 3 mid next year as best diaries if not here is fine and will check back in on the next update Fully documented with photos as I go. I'll be hoping to pick the brains of people like yourself and others who are Jedis at this compared to me, especially anyone who has experience of manifolding/mainlining. I've been reading up on the method for years, since I first started thinking about growing, and I've got my heart set on it. So as long as they show promise early on (which I'm sure they will considering where I got them) I'll top for the first time after growing to 6 nodes. If ive put this diary in the wrong place feel free to move it to the correct section. Still trying to get to grips with forums. I've as much experience with them as I have with growing!
