How is that even relevant to his question? Do all your billions of seeds also survive? Doubt it. If he had billions of MJ seeds it would be more practical to throw them in dirt as well. When you only have a few seeds more care should be taken.
As for the OP, it's usually a good idea to wait...
Thats why you put the paper towel between two paper plates, then it doesnt dry out. So its not crappy for germinating. The only thing crappy is your critical thinking skills and your advice.
Its most likely bad seeds. I am having the same problem this week with some seeds I ordered. They crack and a small taproot will poke out maybe an 1/8 of a inch and that's it, nothing else ever happens. Only 2 out of 6 actually survived. It can't be anything I am doing since I have never had any...
If the rock wool cube is touching the water in the bucket you will probably kill the seedling due to it drowning. Water it by hand instead and you should be fine.
Why don't you add calmag to your water first and then do your normal routine? That's what I do. I add Calmag, and then I add all my other nutrients, test PH and adjust accordingly. I use RO water so I have to add calmag. Try this instead of adding calmag directly to your res.
@GiftedOne I noticed you asked a question on making smaller batches. I too am going to use this as a preventative for my next grow. What did you end up doing? Do you make it in smaller batches or are you keeping it in the fridge? I am hesitant to keep it in the fridge because aren't they alive...
I am not sure about 3 gal but I have seen plenty of 3.5 gallon buckets at local stores. There are great if you are trying to save on height since they are just like a 5 gallon only shorter.
Hmm I have the experience but it sounds like it would be a pain in the ass to grow all 3 at once, especially since they are all using the same water. I am using RDWC so there isn't a way to give any one plant special attention, unless it can be done via foiler feeding. Perhaps I may have to...
Thanks for the input. The OG 18 has me the most excited then Blue Dream in a close second. I only want to grow out the Critical Kush because it's supposed to be a big yielder.
So I got my order from Herbies:weed: and there are 3 strains that I really want to try but since I am doing RDWC it may not be the best idea to grow all three at the same time even though I really want to. First off let me give you a little background. I have a 5x5 Gorilla tent with 2x600 HPS...
Let us know how long it takes you to receive your order. I got my Herbies order within 5 days! I was really impressed with them and I will use them again.
+1 on the air ALWAYS being on. Also, read the sticky titled DWC Root Slime Cure aka How to Breed Beneficial Microbes
To take care of your root problem ASAP.
Perhaps I should have posted this in the strain review section? I thought it was more appropriate here due to my RDWC setup, otherwise I would grow all 3 since I could take care of them personally instead of them all being connected.
