Dude i have been doing that since i couldnt get 2 to crack soaking in water and pissed me off and have 100% germ rate since.
in 3 -4 days of planting i had all sprout up in 1 day a total of 8 seeds.
See i use rapid rooter cubes, and stick them on top of the dixie cup with soil once they pop threw the cube and u see a tap root coming out the bottom usually same day than i stick in the cup of soil, once they have a root.
It had worked excellent so far
Howard looking good as usual, i like the lollipop gig cant wait to see if it really fattens up.
Yay for females im happy it was didnt u want a female, or did u want to do some pollen.
right on bro ya i havent done anything to my Blue cheese and afrodite mothers but i dont know if i should grow like 6 plants in 7gal, or 12 plants in 3 gal under each light.
I think next round im just going to stick as many as i can in 3gal under my 1000watt and see how it does.
i would only start a couple at a time so i have plants harvesting at all different times, i like having bud hanging at all times, 8 weeks between harvests sucks.
meant to add this in ... seems to me that if the plants have 2 gals. of fresh soil right before flower that its pretty hard to get rootbound in 8 weeks. now if you have mroe of a sativa going maybe 10weeks or more than it will need a bigger pot i think.
Ya thats what i was thinking also a 3x3 ft bed about 18inche deep, with different layers, have you read Soma's organic grow book.
he uses the beds and says its amazing,
he plants 1 foot tall clones about 12 per bed, and veg for a week under a MH than flips.
the beds consist of black tarp to make it leak proof, than a bottom layer of hydrotron than a sheet of root cloth than the soil, and in all 4 corners he has 3in. PVC going to the bottom into the hydrotron for oygen can get to the roots. he has no drain holes and says he always has to water. It would just be hard to hump 3ftx3ftx18inches of soil in a black tarp thru a 2ft door lol. i mean there is easy way he has wheels on them so he can move them but for my set-up i wouldnt be able to bring them in and out of the flower room to empty them.
ya i figure if i veg in 1gal. for a couple weeks than trans to 3gal. wait 5 days than flip them they should have plenty of soil to flower out. but if i let them sit any longer in the 3gal than 5days it will be very close to being rootbound.
View attachment 1430260View attachment 1430259 Hey guys I lollipoped my plant what do you guys think? Still has about three weeks till harvest but I cut off all the lower shit branches so it could concentrate on the top colla.
Yeah I was fucking around with my bubba when I was harvesting her! LOL I had a male K/F and got rid of it. I was tinkering with the idea of pollen for a few min but now I am over it until it's time to seed out those bubblegum beans! I was thinking about it but my hermie problem really ruffled my feathers. I cloned my Purple shana and now I have two in flower. I cut alot of the lower branches off of them kinda as a test. I have seen many people on this site talking about cutting lower branches off so the plant will concentrate more on the top. I still need to pot up my other two PS clones today cus those are going to replace my bubbas that I am about to take down. I didn't top any of them so maybe I will have some big ass main colas! I think this is my first time not topping or fiming any of my girls.
lol ya, but you also have to think when they say a plant only produces so much bud, well indoor i think its true do to the fact that your going to need a lot of light to flower that bitch lol.
Damn dude that thing is huge. I hope my single colas look like that lol. Nice! That a bubbalicous?
