Never a bad idea, a sentiment I wish some of my clients would take....but their mistakes make me money soooo
K.s.
For reference...
I soak ALL MY SEEDS for 18 hours in PH 6.2 filtered water.
Straight out of the water into
RAPID ROOTERS...wet with 6.2 water....then into Dixie cups with mild soil.
Have done it this way since the 70's....
My germ rate is 90 % overall
I would recommend this method for stubborn seeds.
The Sugar Punch that arrived today are taking a bath when I get home from work tonight.
They have poor germ rates (the new batch) from what I'm seeing.....I'm throwing down 25 interested to see her rate...

Yeah I'm not sure how much pH effect seedlings. Obviously there is a point where it becomes way too acidic or basic but don't the cotyledons supply the food for the first week or so?
I always thought pH was mostly about nutrient range availablility.
Just thinking back. Before I ever owned a HID or r/o unit I used to germ my bagseeds in pH 8+ water with like 350ppm. haha never seemed to be a problem.
But I do pH my water for seedlings now just because. Why not?

Sounds like my tapwater. We call it liquid rock. Perfect for african cichlids.

Good question... I am on a hunt for a good mom. A few days in the flower room didn't really tell me much... I think I am going to take my top four strongest from each strain and top-clone them, then send the clones through ASAP to sex them. Hopefully by the time I can determine my best mom she will be ready to clone and I can send a "full set" through... So it may be a while...Thanks bro.
Your skunk babies are looking very uniform.
I have 3 NLs and 2 SBs at 28 days veg under 600w hps (along with 2 Nirvana Short Ryders and an unk that fell out of a bud of either NL or SB from the last harvest). My 4th go with peakseedsbc seeds. This year's crop looks wonderful, even after spending four years in the fridge. I had 100% germination on the eight in paper towels. I'm trying to tie down the SBs right from the start this time to manage the canopy with the shorter NLs and SRs. Jury's still out.
