10 days since first soak for germing, and 2 days since breaking out of the soil:
*the white squiggly thing is a massive air root system. I think this is going to be a vigorous one
If it turns out to be female, I'll be smoking some fine herbage when she's done.
If it turns out to be male I will segregate and collect pollen, and selectively knock up some lady nugs on whatever is growing and save some jizz for later strains.

Nice! /\/\/\
I wish I had been more careful about the heat mat when I germed my Dog beans.
I'm going to baby the one I have and make the most of it

[FONT=arial, tahoma, helvetica, sans-serif]I found this on another forum while researching germinating seeds
[/FONT]Hey growbuddies
Ive been reading here and on some of the other forums about poor germination rates. Its a problem i used to have. I can be sorta cheap and when i started buying storebought seeds, it just killed me to pay $10 bucks for a seed and watch it lay there in my paper towels and never sprout. It was just too much when i started buying premium seeds at $20=30 bucks each so i sat out determined to fix the problem, especially when you consider that dead seed was going to produce a lb of smoke worth $3000 bucks. I was loosing sleep..
After 2 years of reading and research at our Universitys Ag library, i created a small device that has given me 100% generation for may last 120+ packs of seeds. Not a single seed failure in 12 years. I would like to share that device with those who might want to use it. It will change your life and it is without exception the most important piece of growing equipment i own......
AND IT COST $25 TO MAKE IT.!!!!!
First, let me explain the concept. My research led me to a realization: Cannabis seeds, and the seeds of many other plants germinate at temps between 76 anf 80 degrees farenheit. The farther the temps drop below 76, the slower the seeds will germ untii about the temp of 68 in which they wont germinate at all. At 82, the seeds wont ever germinate.
Cannabis roots also form in cloning between 76 and 80 with the same principle. Below 76 and roots will come slow, above 80 and roots are slow if at all.
REQUIRED PARTS
1. A 2 -3 gallon clear plastic storage tub ($3)M
2. A smaller, sandwhich sized tupperware plastic box ($2)
3. A cleaning size antibacterial sponge, ($2)
4. A self setting aquarium heater ($7 at WalMart)
5. An aquarium thermometer, ($1.50)
The larger tub is fillled 1/2 way with water and the aquarium heater is placed in the larger tup and allowed to heat the water to a temp of 76 degrees, confirmed by your aquarium thermometer which is also in the larger tub. The little preset heater is set for 76 degrees. It seems thats the temp for fish as well.
The sponge is cut in half or buy 2 and the seeds will be placed in between the 2 sponges. The sponge unlike paper towels, allows air to the seed and keeps water away from them. The seeds are subjected to moisture between the sponges but not water. The sponges should be saturated but not dripping.
The sponges go in the sandwhich tupperware box and the top placed on it and then it is place floating in the 76 degree water. In short order, the sponges and the moistrue in the sponges are also at 76 and thats where the seeds are at.
The consitent temperature, water and air will quickly germinate any viable seed placed in it. With this method, 90% of indica seeds willgerminate and pop within 18 hrs and all will have popped within 24. Long flowering equatorial sativa's which are very hard and moisture resistant can take up to 72 hrs but most will pop within 48.
This little contraption is the most important device i own. I can buy single seeds and pop them all day long.
I hope you will try it. It will change your seed purchasing life.

This was posted somewhere else also.
It states sex is decided after seed sprouts and not before......
Grow More Female Plants from Seed
Environmental factors start influencing sex the moment the seedling has three pairs of true leaves (not counting cotyledon). Environmental factors that influence sex determination of cannabis include but are not limited to:
Increasing the level of nitrogen makes more female plants. Lower the nitrogen level to create more male plants. Increase the level of potassium to increase male tendencies; lowering the potassium level encourages female plants. A higher nitrogen level and a lower potassium level for the first two weeks increases females.
Low temperatures increase the number of female plants. Warm temperatures make more male plants.
High humidity increases the number of female plants. Low humidity increases male plants.
Low growing-medium moisture increases males.
More blue light increases the number of female plants. More red light increases male tendencies.
Fewer hours of daylight (e.g. 14 hours) increases the number of females. Longer days (e.g. 18 hours) make
more male plants. Stress: any environmental stress tends to yield more male plants when growing from seed.

bassman i think i will look into building 1 them,
my germ rate was really bad to start with now i just put in soil in heated prop with no germ and have had better rates but still not 100%
and i love my cloners i build they stand me about £50 but thats to root 40 at a time

The hydrofarm humidity dome tray/w heat mat is this set up. I set it up exactly the same way as he described, but instead of sponges I use rabid rooters(sponge like material made of organic substances) that once sprouted straight into whatever. It also comes with a tray inside to separate the rooters from the water as in above. This set-up is only $25-35 depending on where you go. I know where I live its cheaper to buy this than to get every thing separate. I had the same issues as the original poster on the seed issue and since I switched to this I get awesome results.

Ha HA, bitches!!!
I have a Deep Blue F2 bean that's germ'd & ready for dirt, so I grab a 4" pot with moist soil that I'd used for the Dog beans after they'd germ'd, thinking it'd be easier than going out to the garage to get a scoop of soil for a party cup. And since most of the beans didn't make it, I'll just use the same pot.
I remove the plastic bag from the top of the pot and get ready to aerate the soil before planting the sprouted seed, when I found this...
Dog Kush S1 #2 ! ! !

well here is my selfed seed out of a mates p killer or dippy ellsy..............
i say p killer or dippy ellsy as i had started with 1 of each taking cuts from them and gave 5 dippy ellsy to 1 m8 and 5 killer to another m8......
i never got to taste what i thought was the dippy ellsy but what i gave out as the killer yes...... but reading the descriptions of both strains on bb site i think i mixed them up naming the killer the ellsy and ellsy the killer haha but anyway heres the selfed pip! only 1 found in 16 oz so fingers crossed its a she
