Ttystikk's vertical goodness

You taking them out of the water & into a paper towel once they sink eh?

Should I be?

 

[Vnsmkr]

Yes, the water is only to give the seed ability to intake that water so it will pop and sprout.

 

[Vnsmkr]

If they float they are likely duds, but if they sink, they should sprout

Oh, news to me! Thanks!

I'll have them in wet toweling for how long? (Not going to plant these, just a trial run, I haven't got my shit ready yet so I'm tossing them in the garden.)

Depends on the seed, but I usually see tails in a couple days. Myself, I skip the cup of water, usually either straight into soil for me or into wet paper towels straight away.

Edit: not wet paper towels, but DAMP

Ah. Regarding the soak, a few folks here recommended it and they've got nice bushy plants. I'm just going for a single closet plant, harvest for medicinal usage and rinse/repeat.

My new coco germination method, which super-fancy.



I do use a heat mat outside of the summer months. I use the chopstick to make a half inch hole.

Ooooooo...so many going at once.

I'll be using a large pail, some rubber mats, and a light from Home Depot.

 

[Big_Lou]

Oh, @ttystikk, here is that small alley near my garden....I tossed a handful of seeds out like Johnny Appleseed, but nothing came of it....at least not anything that I can see. (?)

Just a baker's dozen total, and 7 of them are regs.
Any males will most likely get culled. Then one is a Bruce Banner mom, and one Jean Guy (looking for that oldskool polecat vibe?) mom. I am doing a little pheno hunting so the girls will mostly get cloned-out, then test runs will happen. There's barely any plants/seeds there at all.

er u go !

 

[ttystikk]

Funkadelic, that's all I can say lol

 

[Budley Doright]

I really couldn't tell you, I don't know my chips all that well.

Thanks tty, I spent a few hours trying to get my head around power supplies and different LED's last night and more confused than ever lol. I'm looking for a building lights dummies thing now .

 

[Budley Doright]

Well I know shit about lights but if you can get your hands on a couple of ECM blowers you'll save about 50% of running cost and up here that's huge, enough to pay for the motors in a couple of years. This is the unit that we use only because we have a working relationship and get great pricing http://www.lifebreath.com/sites/default/files/products/downloads/69-AH_0912.pdf. But yes way cheaper to build one. Another we have used is aquatherm.

You'll like the Jean Guy, I did try a few beans last year from Crop King but they didn't do well so were culled but probably my doing. I've smoked it a few times and was always impressed.

What's an ECM blower?

Their an electronically commutated motor that is basically a 3 phase DC motor. A typical motor on high draws about 4-5 amps and on high with same airflow ECM motors run 1-2. They are pricey but like I said the cost of running will pay back rather quickly. They are adding them now to raise gas fired equipment ratings as they've peaked out on the combustion side. The duct design is critical though, if static is to high the savings is lost. Do you have an ideal of how much air you need to move?

Using the blowers from junk furnaces, they were free. Heat exchange cores were just $50 each, junkyard finds.

The whole setup is being kit bashed on the fly.

Ok now you've tweaked my interest. Tyy's vertical against my 7' fence . Wonder if anyone would notice it was pot . As long as it stays on my side should be good lol.
