• Hi there, i would like to say first off that this is a legal medical grow and any information gained from the viewing of this forum is for educational/entertainment purposes only. Thank you and happy growing ^_^​
  
  

Whats up RIU.

Current Lights: 1 x 1000watt HPS for flower.
1 x 400watt MH for Veg.
Current Nutrients used: VEG- Sensi Grow A & B, Botanicare Cal-mag plus, and a bit of superthrive.
FLOWER- Sensi Bloom A & B, Bud blood, Bud candy.
ROOT PROTECTION- Aquashield (all that is needed)
Current Strains:
Super Girl (Indica dom hybrid) (discontinued)
Colombian Gold - World of seeds landrace edition (currently 1st generation clone. Started from femmed seed)
Acapulco Gold- Barneys farm
Blue Dream - original cutting only strain from the late 90's.
With me working two jobs i have thrown some soil in to lighten the workload.I use Roots organic soil and synthetic nutes. (strong soil, i would recommend this for novice growers, Holds water well but still plenty of perlite. No need to add extra)

I used to use pure distilled water, but having switched to tap and noticing no difference im now on just straight tap water.


Enough Bullshit, The pics ^_^

Super girl (discontinued, I didnt like the piney taste, and frankly very stoney, puts you right to sleep. I smoke this daily, just dont grow it myself anymore)

Is there a reason for this? I never had much success just dropping seeds into rockwool....of course when I tried that it was with bagseeds that could have been too old or too young....

Either a seed is going to germ or it wont. And handling the baby taproot is no bueno imo. Also quicker. i have sprouts within 3 days of dropping them in the cube.

Yea, I use tweezers and place the germed seed taproot down into the cube so as not to handle the taproot. I've had the thing grow the wrong way just dropping the seed in, at which point I had to touch the tap root anyway in order to get it corrected. But again, my experience was with bagseeds that I had accumulated over some months and my inexperience was probably the biggest reason it failed for me when I tried it.

I've just gone with the paper towel/saucer method. Usually germs within 2 days then sprouts 2-3 days after I drop it into the cube.

ive said it before but i dont agree with all these (most are ridiculous) germination methods. put your seed into damp soil (rockwool for hydro) and wait. if it pops your onto a winner if not it would have probably been a shit plant anyway lol

mother nature made the seeds to be planted that way. im sure years ago they didnt drop them into shot glasses then leave them on damp paper for days then meticulously plant them tap root down. plants use gravity to determine which way the roots grow. even if u put the tap root reaching for the sky nature will correct it and make it grow downwards and outwards. its in their genetic makeup.

just my 2p

5/5 successful sprouted. Have yet to have a seed not germ *knocks on wood*

Bigz, I wasn't trying to turn your thread into a debate on germination techniques. I am a big believer in people doing whatever works for them. I was just curious about why you shifted methods. Sorry for the slight thread-jack.

Didn't get that impression at all, was just updating the thread on the successful sprouts.

I will indeed be growing Super girl again, and TGA subcool's vortex.

Will be taking some pics tonight.

Acapulco gold is done stretching. Pistils everywhere.

Blue dream is packing on the weight.

Also am going to be trying a new PK booster. Bloombastic. Very concentrated and very pricey, but hey, getting a 200$ bottle of it for free works out.

All for now. Happy growing.

Looking good BigZ.. keep em green brother.
