Happys back from a long break that was unintended. After finding the love for hash rosin, join me in making some from seeds.
Starting to get my 6-1/2’ × 5’ closet ready for a new adventure. Will be running a HLG 600 R-Spec light with an AC Infinity 6" exhaust fan.
Nutrients: Jacks 321 & Cal Mag
Medium: CoCo
Will be running 3 seeds for each strain.
Strains are DJs Flo, Goji OG & CSI Chemdog D s1s.
I’ll be focusing on topping multiple times, and involving LST to find the best contender.
I found a light leak in my closet, this was the reason I had so many herms previously. Thank you @minitiger for suggesting that fix for me. Thank you @JoeCrowe for your art and dedication for sharing your work.
I hope to drop seeds in a few days, feel free to pull up a seat. Construced criticism is always accepted as I’m always willing to learning.
I previously ran into some hermies and couldn’t figure out what I did wrong.
Not this time light leaks, ordered two 90" x 90" thick blankets to prepare. Will be hanging it from the outside top of door while folding a few times for more light sheild. The extra blanket I got will be for building forts with the kids.
My order for Jacks 321 was delayed until Thursday instead of today but we are ahead of schedule.
Got everything out from storage and went to town with Clorox wipes. I noticed I didn’t do a good job cleaning my humidifier . I scrubbed it clean but heard a crack, after I filled it up it started leaking everywhere.
Carious on some germination styles, whats your go to?
Soak seeds for a day or two, paper towl, that’s nice and humid in a dark warm place? Or do you add anything to the water while they soak?
I’ve tried a bunch of methods over the years and my favorite is just soaking them in a shot glass of water until they pop tails (unless the seeds sink, then I remove and plant them, but they usually stay floating as long as you don’t disturb the water). I usually also add a bit of 3% h2o2 to the water. Then once they have tails they go into the soil, tail facing down and just barely covered with soil.
Or if they are a bit older seeds, I’ll add a drop of liquid kelp or seed sprout tea (for the enzymes) to the water in the shot glass.
Soaked in shot glasses on a heating pad for 24 hours in water with a little bit of fulvic and then planted into the soil. I only started doing that like two years ago, though. Before that, I’d just plant the seeds directly into the soil and never really had any issues getting them to sprout. But I don’t buy seeds from bullshit Instagram breeders, either, so… haha.
Found a brand new 50’ 14 gauge extension cord that i never used. Got that plugged into another circuit/plug outside the closet. This time I wanted to have my light on another circuit from all other equipment.
Going to let some coco sit in water for a good 30 minutes. Then off to draining multiple times and adding calmeg.
Got the Coco all washed out. Going to get it soaking I’m some buffer shortly.
Sending jacks 321 a water sample for $46, want to see what they suggest as q feeding schedule. Last few grows when using coco I also used calmag. I heard that’s a no no since they have it in with jacks 321.
Dropped off water sample to the Post Patrols, coco washed ready to buffer. Dialed in my Orapxi ph meter after a few tries.
I read this
“pH electrodes generally last 1–3 years, even with proper care and maintenance. However, some companies replace their pH probes every 9 months, especially if they work with aquatic life.”
Just need to stable the blanket to the outside of the closet door and we’re ready to go.
Debating on waiting on the water sample, supposedly Jacks 321 will then help with the feeding schedule and other questions.
