So iv grown many times, from both seed and clone. But I'm just wondering here being that it's coming to that time again where I start my grow back up which involves growing strains from seed to find the best moms for each strain then clone the shit out of them for my Indoor grow and outdoor grow, anyways......
My question is what method do you use to germinate your seeds and once their sprouted and redy to plant what do you plant them in, rock wool, straight into dirt, a root plug, a hydro setup in coco or clay pellets anything whatever you use or do to germinate your seeds then start them for their seedling stage? Even what lighting do you use and feeding routine if any?
Personally,
My routine consists of obtaining the seeds from an online source, which usually takes 2 weeks from the day I order,
Once I get the seeds I put them in a little max box that's covered Inside with sand paper to scuff up the seed and make the shell more able to penetrate the inside of the seed,
Once scuffed up I pop them in a darkened container of tap water for 18 to 20 hours, then pour the water and seeds out on a peice of paper towel that is always moist and on an angle for excess run off just incase,
The paper towels are layed and placed in black plates and covered by another black plate but turned so theirs air gaps, the plates sit on a heat Matt that keeps the temps at a steady 25'C to 27'C and also a small fan rotating left to right from a far distance jus for some fresh steady air,
Usually by the 7th day max all the seeds are popped, and redy to plant, I then place them into root plugs (rapid root plugs), but I want to try rock wool this time or maby even just plant then in red solo cups into a germination/seedling soil mix,
I place the seeds under t5 fluros that are 8ft long and two bulb fixture, and I'm thinking about adding 6 cfl fixtures that hang lower and have 3 down each side,
The seeds were always planted in store bought soil that already had all this stuff but I want to make my own types of soil mixes for this grow so suggestions would be awesome, but that's how I germinate my seeds then plant them and it's how I'll do it this grow which starts in 1 and a half mths!!
