dude this is what i have searching for oh my lord you are my hero! I knew this was simpler than it’s made out to be! The biggest limiting factors are dependent on where you live. Too many people talk about nutrients and soil when I’d say the biggest thing people neglect is CO2. CO2 allows the plants to do more since it’s part of how all plants grow. It lets them withstand higher heats and it helps them vegetate more. I’ve not seen a single person talking about CO2 in any part of the internet. I wonder what some of these crazy yields would look like bolstered by CO2? Maybe that’s part of their secret?Solo Cup Containers :
This will be a brief example of solo cup containers for germination. I will post more examples later on in thread as i move grows around. But a no nonsense way to get shit started
1. Solo cup - Any brand / Any Size . I dont use clear or tinted variations of solo cups. Some growers use them as a “ inner “ cup to the regular red solo. Whatever floats your boat
2. Soil : I reuse soil from my harvest containers. I dont get a lot left from them but for a few cups it works. Used soil will be somewhat milder to its original mix - perfect for germination. I do not add any nutes to it only myco. I pre dampen prior to planting seed.
Any light soil / mild potting mix will work also if you have already. Light warrior comes to mind.
3. Seed : As you can see , i merely presoak seeds in water - taproot pops and its off to the races. Some growers have their preferred method of germination- paper towel / rooters or direct to soil. I merely dig a small cavity and literally pour it in.
Strain shown ( “ O “ ) is a Deep Chunk cross i messed around with and like the smoke.

As this thread gains some traction- i will post some “ layered “ approaches to solo cups - even some variations for those that like to run solo cup competitions.
Stay Tuned.

Oh my lanta man you are literally my idol right now ! You listed all the strains I wanna eventually grow so I can breed my own cross of Blueberry and a kush of some kind. I hate the BS fancy strains where you gotta look it up and it’s a cross between two more strains with stupid names and it goes on and on. I shouldn’t have to be a doctor in genealogy to know what I’m smoking!
I looked into Sensi Seeds after learning about the history of Sam and Skunk 1. They sell here in the US and I want to get some feminized Skunk #1 to experience the strain that made britain insane lol Do you know anything about them? Their reviews say the seeds germinate well, but I never trust reviews tbh I’d rather look for a personal recommendation. Thank you for this thread seriously as a NorCal homie with similar ph levels I really appreciate the depth you go in emphasizing the KISS! method of growing. (Keep it simple, stupid!) Cus I was really worried about the ph level. Honestly I’m fine buying spring water from dollar tree. It seems to do my plants better than straight tap water. I also messed with mixing some koi pond water into a gallon of spring water because I put some of the water in a spray bottle and misted my plants and they perked up like crazy. I think it was just cus of the insane heatwave that hit us here in the valley but still! I’m tryna keep it easy. I didn’t source my seeds from anywhere reputable. They just existed in a drawer in the garage with acronyms for ID. Right now I’ve got a couple of what I think is some sort of Indica dom but they’re struggling. I’ve been trying to come up with a good strat for my next attempt and I think you pretty much did all the heavy lifting for me. Man finding this thread has made me so happy
