Uncle_Al's second germination

This will be the second batch from seeds this year, I received some strains from @Sunshine so this will be on “both” sites. this time I am germinating fruit bowl, spice mix and something called dank mix I received 11 seeds each of @Sunshines mixes but I’m only popping 5 of each kind. I am also starting 5 feminized Girl scout cookies and 10 of what I am calling Colorado medical mix, the Coloradans we’re hiding in a bag that came from a medical dispensary, who the hell knows what they really are ? technically I guess they are bag seeds, but the weed really knock me down. So it will be fun to see what happens there.

My germination technique is simple put the seeds in a wet paper towel and place that in a Ziploc. Then the Ziploc goes out in the dark corner of the garage, the consistently warmest part of the :house: house. Additionally I am using 1tsp/gallon of green light rooting solution this is a very weak concentration as the label calls for 3 1/2 Tbsp/gallon.


Seeds laid out on paper towels with labeled Ziploc bags

I will check on them when I get back from my day job, but right now I have to prepare the seedling tray so they have a place to go when they pop.

I just germed some seeds and was going to post my method with using gravity. you put the germed seeds in a straight line about a half an inch from the top of the paper towel edge, place them in a ziplock like you would normally do only DON’T put them on a plate. hang the bags vertically with the seeds toward the top edge and see what happens. the roots will grow straight down and not curl. super easy for transplanting.

Seems reasonable I might do that next time

I have gotten back to the lair and checked the progress of my intended germination, unfortunately it is only 24hrs since they hit the towels so really not much to report. I have however re-oriented them in the manner that @Viva_Mexico suggested, there may be something to it we’ll see

The Colorado mystery medical seems d.o.a. no action at all,and the fruit bowl remains unchanged. Time to put today’s victories in the rock wool

I am following this step by step. Except rockwool, i use peat pellets and they apparently have a pH of 6.4, which is not bad really right?

6.4 is not so bad, I’d be happy with it.

I put the remaining unpopped spice mix in a cube just to see where it goes, Colorado mystery medical went back in the germination bag and so did the remaining fruit bowl. And here is tonight’s dome lineup
