I've been germinating in rapid rooter plugs. They're easy and have woked great for me. I've tried several other methods, but I'm liking the rapid rooters the best.

i use rapid rooters as well, but i'll still germ the seeds first, then put them into the rr's.. i don't know why, i just like being able to see that the seed is good and has popped and is ready to go i guess..

Yeah rapid rooters are the shit. The only problem is you gotta buy 25 at a time and if you let em dry out they are worthless I always zip loc em and mist the inside of the bag but it only lasts so long.

I've tried rehydrating them, dunking them in water, if you get them too wet they fall apart easily. They won't hold moisture as well after they have dried out.

Which isn't a problem if you put them directly into coco or soil, but with cuttings, I find a small cup of coco (1 oz like the ones for rinsing your mouth of toothpaste)works much better for holding moisture.

Puff n batskunk, how's ur dpd x br germ rates? I mean they still have plenty of time before I give up, only been in pt for 48 hrs

 

[puffntuff]

I didn't start them yet. I went and checked on my clone room and I have mites!!those fuckers. So I gotta give em a couple doses of neem before I start the others. This is the first time Ive ever had the fuckers.

that's too funny as i do the same thing with my rr's, bury them in one of those one ounce or w/e they are solo cups with some water as i find they don't dry out nearly as fast when i do it that way... i also like to use cfl's for the first week or so of life for seedlings as cfl's don't tend to dry shit out the way hids do...
i don't know how many seeds i must have killed when i first started growing by throwing them right under hids and having them dry out and die on me..

 

[TheLastWood]

Haha racer I did that too, put the rr in the cup with water in the bottom. Now I just use coco. Holds moisture way better. I would have to spray the rr with a squirt bottle a few times a day if I didn't leave water in the cup,

So now, I have a black 72 cell tray and dome, I fill the cup with coco and put the cup in the cell, then the dome. I don't like putting the coco directly into the cell ciz you can't get it out, and it has a hole in the bottom of the cell so I can't leave water in the bottom without the cup.

This has been the method for my cloning too and its working very well.

Odly, I took a few 5" cuttings, 3 days later I took one cutting so big the top was folded over like 1", the big clone rooted like 3 days before the smal one and started 3 days later, ! Small one still hasn't rooted.

I have heard big clones work better in coco, by the time I took it out of the dome its like 9" tall and ready to flower.

Damn I fuckin hate mites. Dealin with them is the only time I step away from organics. I use organicide and pyrethrum foggers. The pyrethrum foggers aren't organic but they r made from flower I'm pretty sure.

 

[puffntuff]

The neem seems to kick ass. I've never had these fucking things before so we will see

i'm a printer by trade dizzle... but for my last grow, i went all crazy and went into the computers at work and printed up labels for all of the plants that i was growing...
for ex, it would say... mk ultra, indica dom, og kush/ affy.. 65 days...
i would love to see the look on someone's face when they find that file on the computer and try and figure out wtf it all means as i no longer work there...

Sounds like some shit I'd do. Wait, no, let me rephrase that. Sounds like some shit I've done... like printing out the FIM instructions to the network printer down the hall...

I haven't started them either, just got them actually. I'll probably crack a few sometime in the next week.

Anything stellar on the horizon in the seed worl?

i've had my br x dpd beans for idk, a good year / year and a half now, and i haven't gotten around to cracking any of them as of yet either, so i'll be watching to see how your's turn out for sure..
sounds like it's going to be killer imo, but sometimes you never really can tell till you see them grown out..

With growing seeds I see it is a love/hate relationship. I love and hate sometimes the anticipation of finding those keeper phenos. But I hate growing something I get real excited about because of a breeder's desciption and have it turn out opposite of my expectations. This doesn't happen often but it's such a commitment and every inch of grow space is so valuable. What I love too is the hunt for these gems, and acquiring them like a fanboy in a comic book store diggin through the bins. Not to mention the look on your buddies face when you pull out five different jars labeled things like Space Queen, Sonic Boom, Purple Moonshine,Apollo13 etc..

Once at a family fourth of July party I showed up with a backpack filled with jars. Sent a pipe one way around this big lineup of picnic tables side by side, and another pipe in the opposite direction so it'd eventually meet a person at the same time in a circle.
What went from a lively party full of people chatting and running around, rockin out to good tunes transformed to a bunch of 40 to 50 year old dudes (my uncles) and their wives sitting quiet and relaxed. Hardly anyone was talking and everyone looked so dazed. OMG it was classic. Those dudes think theyre so hardcore.. ya know the biker types.. and I just kicked all their asses in 15 minutes with TGA and Bodi power!! I'll never forget that.

Oh yea the point? Umm. Variety! Haha. I knew I had one. With seeds you get variety and so many possible outcomes and surprises in store for the grower.

I actually feel like I can't stop sometimes. Feeding the addiction. One jiffy at a time.

I'm thinking about getting lemon stomper, first time around with ggg gentics. Anyone have any grow reports or pics of them? I know skunkie is a forum staff at ggg. I checked around, and not too many people growing them on there yet.

 

[malignant]

Anything stellar on the horizon in the seed worl?

Sagamertha has strawberry d-line, and Mandala has Kalichackra again. The kalichackra is an amazing high and a decent producer. I finished a j an hour ago, I'm retarded stoned, and I've been smoking it all month.

Does anybody know where to find headband?

 

[hellraizer30]

You can get headband off cannazon

I do mod the GGG board and just keep the place free of spam and keep the peace really. I'm not a paid part of the team or anything lol, I and a few other members on the site there & here too are running some new testers atm though and that same oppertunity is available to any decent growers capable of completing a full journal w/ pic's for the site. They're still a new outfit in the seed scene and are only a small operation atm too. Just 2 guy's rocking some fresh X's and strains not to be sniffed at either imo. They've been making strains/seeds for a while now and have now decided to officially enter the seed game as they already supply a lot of Bud & clones to cali med paitients anyways and made the next step only recently.
Deffo ones to watch for future greatness .
