Hey guys,
I just germed the seeds, and they're almost ready to plant. tomorrow they should be ready for cups. i am doing a second real grow of early misty and safari mix , but these were freebies so im doing a test run to straighten out any problems if i have any. it is my first time growing so wish me luck!
pull up a chair and smoke a j with me

your starting at a decent time...veg inside till about mid april...then stick them outside....they will blow up

 

[Orange Shovel CAGrower]

well as of now indoors isnt an option, im hoping they can cope with the great wilderness until they are strong...hey maybe it will make them tough girls!

 

[CALIGROWN]

yea...your cutting it pretty close though...i got a buddy that has plants flowering in his yard right now..

 

[Orange Shovel CAGrower]

its alright, ive been informed some medical growers in humboldt plant march 5 as a ritual, so im gonna join them...plus this is kind of an experimental grow to straighten out any of my problems

 

[TheOrangeJuicer]

good luck bro. Nor Cal here too.. hope it works out

Are the seeds from Skunkman? If so, I got some as freebies as well. I saw a thread somewhere else where they took 130+ days to flower though haha, but they did look beautiful. In NorCal starting this early you'll probably end up with some amazing plants, even if they do take that long. I'm growing in New England (and I can't plant until late May for personal reasons) so I don't even have a chance of growing it successfully. I may just try a few to dick around haha. They'll probably still be flowering in December...and therefore very much dead

yea i plan on harvesting in late november. they are freebies from gypsy nirvana.
they hopefully will be massive.
anyways update:
3 sprouted, and i put them in small cups with seedling soil. for a great start (sarcasm) i put them tap root up...
any chance they survive tap root up?

i actually read something about planting seeds tap root up but im sure it will be alright just may take longer to break soil.

If they were mine, I would dig them out and flip them over with tweezers (don't use bare fingers) as carefully and gently as possible...but I have no evidence to back that up. I just think the stress from doing that would be less than forcing the plant to right itself somehow... Hopefully someone with direct experience with this can comment and tell you for sure.

i checked, one had a taproot coming out the top and it was about to shed the shell for the cotyledon. it was upside down haha. well, i dont know if it will survive because i used my hands to flip it...hopefully it worked.

 

[smoketheherb]

yea dig it out with your fingers nothing happens and flip it over

 

[Orange Shovel CAGrower]

yup, it worked out,
theyre outside right now...im hoping they can survive the 45 degree nights...

 

[Orange Shovel CAGrower]

hey guys, my buddy checked on them and watered...apparently theyre doing just fine with these semi-cold nights
soon these seedlings will be on their way to veg stage and moved to the site! exciting stuff!!!

 

[kilik2007]

Hey that is exciting. Congrats man! Keep up the good work!

 

[AnitaNuggs]

hell yea!
my boyfriend did the same thing with our seeds.. he just flipped them and they were fine...
i want sum picss!!!!!

 

[Orange Shovel CAGrower]

hold ur horses!!! haha
i will get you some pics tomorrow
they are at my friends house so i have to make a trek over and check on them
he said they are looking great and have a new set of leaves coming in. the weather here is great! its 65 out, but feels like its 70. check in tomorrow for an update

 

[Orange Shovel CAGrower]

hey everyone whos watching...

here are my seedlings that ive started
these were freebies so its kind of like a practice run before i plant my 10 early misty and 10 safari mix seeds

anyways,
two of them look good, starting a new set of leaves. the third guy appears to have been chewed by something because the stem was about as thick as dental floss on one part...somehow the leaves were still green.


pic 1-healthiest seedling doing well

pic 2- other one doing ok...kind of growing weird but im not worrying too much

pic 3- dead one (i assume)

pic 4- all of them together

pics 5 & 6- possible drying rack?

any idea if the shed thing in the side of my friends back yard would work for drying? would setting up a fan inside work?

thanks for checkin my grow out!
