Very happy 10 day old seedlings

 

[freezeland]

Now 2 weeks. Tissue samples will be sent out Monday for sexing.

 

[freezeland]

I’ll be transplanting any fems as soon as I get the tissue results. Will also begin a feeding regimen at that time. Any males will be tossed out the back door.

What soil are they in?
Good to go till week 3 no ferts?

I don’t see myself transplanting until the end of the week. Two days shy or so of 3 weeks. They are in a 50/50 blend of Jiffy seed starter mix & FFOF. Anything transplanted will go into straight FFOF. I’ll be using the roots organic terp tea line. I will also be using Great White, Orca, and King Crab for the root zone.

Got to toss these three plants and start over. All confirmed male through dna test.

You should save one for pollen, and to test the dna test

I was planning to do that further down the road in another cycle. I have 8 beans left from the first pack, and another unopened 10+ pack. So I’m sure there are more males in my future. Right now I want to get a mother plant or two going.

Nice how much plant tissue did you have to send? A whole leaf I suppose? Looking to do this myself with all these regular seeds I got

I just snipped off half the first leaf. I waited until 3 nodes had grown before I took the sample. I didn’t have to wait for those nodes but I didn’t want to take the sample with only those first two true leaves and no other growth.

 

[freezeland]

Hate to do it but he has to go. Along with his brothers.

 

[freezeland]

Round two is in the breech. Did 7 this time since that’s how many tests I have left. Hopefully there is a girl or two hiding in there in this round.

 

[freezeland]

7 of 7 popped the surface as of day 4. 100% germ rate. Got one helmet head but not going to intervene yet.

 

[Max]

Hope lucks on your side bud and you get the females you need to get you up and running..

 

[freezeland]

One day above surface. The helmet head is on the far left in front. It’s doing fine. No intervention needed.

 

[freezeland]

13 days up. Taking and mailing tissue samples tomorrow morning.

 

[freezeland]

Transplanted the fems yesterday evening. Since males are not in the pic you know what I decided to do with them, lol. They are now at 17 days up, hopefully my prom queen is here.

Damnit Max I am in the same situation, seeds won't pop or get up an die quickly, got a Verti germinator and heat mat going now, carry on.

Hard time of year to be getting a grow off to a good start for sure.

Need to get the heads up from @CannaGranny about time of the month to sow the seeds; she's got the inside dope when to sew the dope.

 

[Stoneyluv]

the next couple days are bad for starting seeds....

you guys wouldn’t get plants growing outside this time of year would you

 

[steamroller]

Not me, but I still used moon phases for germination timing.

 

[GoodShit97]

Hell naww.
Its 23°f and snowing right now

 

[GoodShit97]

Gonna check it out my next seed pop.
See what its all about

I planted my current grow seeds on January 25th which was a Barron day. All germinated and thrived. All that almanac stuff is great for outdoors I guess if you want to plant and harvest by it. But indoors we defy Mother Nature every minute of everyday. So I’ll plant seeds when it’s convenient to me.

I've always thought this way as well. some recent similarities kinda raised my eyebrows and made me think about it in a different way. not that i'm totally sold on the almanac but i figured it can't hurt. i'll only follow along for the seed starts and defols and just monitor overall health rates and such. i honestly don't expect a game changer but i also can't find a single negative in trying.

 

[steamroller]

I grew before thinking about the moon. And I grew well.
IMO the plant catches up and lines up with the moon quickly.
Maybe in the first month even.
The difference IMO is the first 2-3 weeks of growth and issues or the lack of.

 

[freezeland]

Now 4 weeks. Started roots organic terp tea grow. Topped above 5th node last Thursday. Up potting soon. They were just watered and fed.

 

[freezeland]

Will be transplanting this weekend
