My First Hempy Bucket Grow

[Rusty Shakelford]

OK, This is not only my first Hempy Bucket Grow, but my first time germinating and starting from seeds. Buying clones is just too big of a Pain in the Ass!

I have a Soil and 2 RDWC Grows under my belt, so I am hoping for the best. Still have 4 weeks until harvest of my current grow, so I went ahead and started my seed propagation today.

I purchased a small Propagator Pro from Nirvana and some Northern Lights x Big Bud from Attitude, along with my Freebee seed Fruity Chronic Juice. I made up my water, planted the seeds, spread the perlite, and now the waiting game begins.​

No Sprouts today!! Seemed like it was getting a little dry in the Propagator so I added some water to the Perlite and a little more to the sponges. Hoping to see some action soon!

Im gonna go with 75% Perlite and 25% Vermiculite to hold some water. I understand it helps for less watering.

Just checked and still no sprouts this morning. Still nice and wet in the propagator though. This is my first time germinating seeds, so I am trying not to worry just yet.

Yea, as per the instructions, I place them in the pre-made hole, cover just slightly and watered with their Bacto Powder. I also have the layer of wet perlite on the floor of the propagator to keep the humidity up. Temp is sitting about 76 degrees.

 

[raiderman]

perfect...

Cool. I did that in the past. Now I use 100% perlite and don't see any difference really.

 

[raiderman]

adding the vercumilite will help hold a little moisture huh,good choice.

I think it really only helps when they are small, before the feeder roots hit the bottom.
