Planted 5 seeds last night.

3 x World of seeds landrace edition - Afghan Kush (pure indica) femmed.
1 x Reserva Prada - Kandy kush - Femmed
1 x Dina fem - White Widow Auto - Femmed
I no longer germ seeds first. Just plant in rockwool with water and a heat mat.

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 :)

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.

Cool. I knew you were just updating, but I felt like it was good form to let you know that I meant no harm in my question and subsequent comment.

An Older gentleman that i have been learning from.

Nice grow :)
Thank you very much

Any updates? !
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.
