I found a bag of old sunflower seed to start some testing with . The seed is 8 years old so should work for testing . put twenty per bag under different solutions . Tap water , Aloe , 3 percent h202 , roots organic rooting at 100 percent and 33 percent. Cracked some straight into coco with...

That’s one reason I believe the true skunk strain was lost . If you had one growing everyone knew . Now here in Cali it would be a great stealth . Everyone is growing so having that strain now would be great . Just blame it on the skunks which are common here . Back in the day it was a outdoor...

That is priceless ! There’s a lot of skunk branded seeds on the market. None match the smell of the skunk I grew up smoking . I’m not exaggerating, smelled like you had a dead skunk in your pocket . That package is so cool ! Thanks for sharing !

I just read a article yesterday about aloe as a rooting hormone . Great option as I have a huge aloe Vera . Thanks

This was pure luck finding these . I always had 35 mm film containers laying around . I threw away a huge bag , a collection of 30 years in the trash about ten years ago . Probably 30 different Indica and kush mostly . I remember being pissed when I got a bag of weed that had seed in it . We...

I have 5 seeds left , been researching for weeks about the best methods before we try again . Just hoping for radicals right now . Just read an article about a famous strain that was rediscovered and propagated from seeds found in a tool box from Michigan from the 70s . It’s possible !

Well I found an embryo floating in the first 5 we tried with a full radical . Carefully removed it and put in coco pre moistened . Fingers crossed ! one thing this has confirmed, these are really old seeds from the past 80s - 90s ?

I have a 5x11 room Purchased a Viparspectra 4000 for just under 400$ It’s rated at 450 watts but the numbers are off the charts . Full spectrum, quality built aluminum , Samsung LED , 5 percent far red , dimmable . I plan to add 2 more for a 9x5 foot print . No assembly required , out of the...

I just added my first LED and replaced a 600 HPS . Winter now requires some heat . I can dim down to 15 percent during seedling 25-50 during veg . I think it will be cheaper in the long run . I don’t see a need for AC in summer now ? I don’t miss having cooling fans ducting to my hoods . Setup...

I’m a coco lover , I think drain to waste is easiest for a new grower trying hydro . Hempy too ! Water/feed daily with a good runoff . Learn how to take ph readings and adjust to 5.8 and your golden . Just increase your nutes gradually . That’s what I find great about hydro / coco . You can...

Getting ready for try number 2 Have some gibberillic acid coming Purchased a small micrometer for cracking if needed plan to crack one Scarcify 4 Soak all 5 in 1 percent h2o2 Remove cracked seed at 4 hrs After soaking into a humidity dome Regulated at 75-80 90-100 humidity

Welcome ! For me seedling stage I feel like a chicken setting on eggs . This little $20 device helps me get through the baby stages .

This light was on my Christmas list . Santa was good to you ! I have back issues and like these Quantum boards for ease of hanging . I’m thinking of doing just 3 of these that cover a 3x5 flower footprint and just add lights as the crop spreads . Your girls look very happy .

I miss Humboldt ! The land of the giants lol I had a buddy here in NorCal that had 10 clawfoot bath tubs with giants growing . Any of the old cuts floating around Humboldt ? I miss the old Humboldt before legalizing happen .

Update Week 2 seen some light colored leaves and blotchy . Added calmag and strengthened nutes to 400 ppm . Stems were purple but now back to being happy. Mistake one - leggy plants from low light week one . Added a fan for stem strengthening 12 hrs daily . Will be setting up initial 5 gallon...

Great info out there on DJ short , thank you !

Thanks That’s a great tip ! I seen another grower using dry beans soaked in water to release these enzymes.

Thanks I’ll be stoked to see a root at this point . It’s a long shot but you never know . I did a bunch of reading today about techniques . Got me thinking that squeezing the seed to crack it is a big risk . I’m going to try a jewelers drill bit next round to just penetrate the shell and get...
