Whats the stinkbud method to starting from seed?
I never found very complete instructions from
@StinkBud , but this is what I came up with from what I gathered from the book, thread, and youtube from SB, and my personal experience. I have 100% success cracking over 60 seeds using this method.
1)Soak your seeds in damp but not soaked paper towel in warm dark place (tap water). I set them in-between 2 dinner plates to keep them from drying out too quickly. If the paper towels do get too dry just add a little water. 24 to 72 hours later you should have a little root coming out of the seed case. Once its longer than about 1/4" you should be ready for the next step.
2)Buy some Rapid Rooter plugs and soak them in some water from your cloner (one per seed). Use a clean razor blade to slice vertically half way through the plug, this will make it way easier for you to remove the rooted plant once its ready for the next phase (I added this phase myself because I had a hard time removing the seedlings from the plugs when I was just setting the seeds inside the plug). So after you've cut the plug, put your seeds about 1/8" from the top of the plug with the root facing down.
3)Set them in small Rubbermaid container with about 1/4" of water in the bottom of the container just enough to keep the plug damp.Put them under your cloner light. About 12 to 24 hrs later the plant will have emerged from the plug with 2 rounded looking little leaves. Make sure the plug stays damp with a small amount of water in the bottom of the container.
4)Another 24 to 48 hrs later you will see a tap rot coming out of the bottom of the plug so now you need to
carefully remove the seedling from the plug and place in into a neoprene collar, and then into a net pot.
5)
IMPORTANT: Make sure to put the seedling into the
VEG UNIT not the cloner! They need food at this point so they will slowly die in the cloner because it doesn't have enough food in the cloner res for them to develop. Throw them into flower whenever you think they are ready.
I would love to hear input on this subject from others using the SB method.
