@shroomgod i fond a way to send the seeds out to you, will post it next monday, no risk involved for me at all, nor you. It will probably take like three weeks to get there, but yeah man!

@MadScientist that’s risky I risked buying seeds for Amsterdam buy they don’t deal with loopholes.

You’re welcome to send seeds my way ! :neutral_face:

Ok, getting back to the germinating seeds i placed in paper towels, 4 of them sprouted in just under three days, two nights. They had a little pointy tail coming out at it was at least 3/4 inch long
 Paper towel method is exceptional! Rockwool plug, not so much for germination, i think a best use of them would be to plant rooted clones, not seeds.

Sometimes a silly idea goes a long way you know, i gotta tell you
 What i like about the paper towels method is the fact that you don’t have to pray in order for a seed to show thru the dirt and up towards the sun (HPS or Leds) if your outdoor. But you know exactly what seed is doing what, and then you place them very carefully in their soil or medium, in the correct position and all
 So yeah man. Silly me! LOL :wink:

Yes but you risk a lot pulling a root wih delicate root hairs off of a piece of paper. If they dont germ in soil they probaly wont germ at all:)

I don’t know what to say, i understand though. I had zero bad experiences germinating like this, with a heat mat and the tupperware lid closed completely, i’ll check it every 8 hours or so
 And as soon as i see a cracked seed sprouting, it will be put in the medium. Wish me luck man!

Ok, so i got started
 This time for real. OUTDOOR GROW.

These are Mango Cream Auto by Exotic Seeds, and Afghan Kush Ryder by World of seeds.

Added Rhizotonic to the pH controlled water and now the seeds are soaking; when they crack I will decide if to put them on the soil directly or paper towels. We’ll see.

Here we go. Got the home for the ladies ready. Just hope they both show cotyledons. Did three inches lava rock for drainage, and then some soil (horse manure, bat guano, ash, black dirt, rice husks and i also put lava rocks in it).

This is the spot where they will grow. Any suggestions, please, don’t keep them to yourself. Thanks.

Are the seeds in there now ?

Upside down bottle 5 litre with the top removed / screwed off. Slug repelllent, you could put in a bamboo cane for supporting when they get bigger now so as not to damage roots later on. Or a triangle frame of 3 bamboo canes round each 1, or a straight up frame of 4 canes. they dont have to go in the pots you can spike them in the ground around the pots. Labels thatyou can identify each like 1 & 2 or A & B :wink:

Its time to trim that lawn dude :slight_smile:

They did that just a week ago! I’m gonna put some bricks under the pots. Or a wood board.

Bricks will be better as wood can rot and induce molds, and insects. A 2 ft square paving slab might help also, then put the bricks on the flag/slab so it can drain better and is raised so to prevent insects as much as possible.

The other alternative is to sink them into the ground for stability, but then you have wholes in your lawn, it help with keeping them cool and moisture retention, The choice is yours.

I’m gonna mount it over a couple of bricks then
 But first i’m gonna spray bug poison(Carbolina) all over the lawn, that will repel any cats, snails, birds, and any kind of insect that might lurk around
 It’s super strong, i’ll show you.
