Sure! I have had no issues from all of the seed banks I order from. They are nicely disguised. Its just that the shipment takes a long time to reach. Make sure you get the tracked shipping option.
Thanks, can you recommend any brand of potting soil which can be used from seedling stage to harvest?perhaps you can recommend the one that you are using?
You'll want different soil for germinating seeds and everything after. I germinate in Pro-Mix or Black Gold Seedling soil... Fox Farm Ocean Forest for everything after that.
The paper towel method lets you watch the initial germination to test seed viability. Seedlings are sensitive at this point- all nutrients are pulled from what is stored in the plant and their moisture is pulled from humidity in the air. You want a mellow soil with good drainage to not suffocate them with water or burn them with nutrients. Once you see the first "true" leaves forming they are ready for richer soil
Correct. I also recommend a humidity dome unless you have a small space where you can control the humidity. You want 70-75% constantly during the seedling phase.
The seedling cells for germination are tiny- once you see the first true leaves (look up true leaf vs cotyledon) they are probably developed enough to transplant into the next pot. Make sure the soil is fairly dry when you transplant.
Thank you for your reply, I have full spectrum led grow light, it emit purple lights and it can't be switched between blue and red. Is it fine to use that purple light from vegetation stage to blooming?
The purple/blurple style lights are kinda older tech at this point but if the power of the light is sufficient for your tent you will at least produce something worth smoking. I would definitely look to replace that eventually- just make sure your light is rated to flower the footprint of your tent.
Sounds like you have a lot of reading up to do Yutoshi. Plenty of resources out there. Articles, forums, youtube videos etc. for beginner growers. Paper towel method for germination is the simplest. As for soil just go to your nearest garden store of obtain all your basic growing needs. Or get it all online including potting soil - Lazada, shopee, serbajadi.com.my or gardenshop2u.com (since you live in Malaysia).
