So, I figgured out that I was flapping in the wrong place_introduce yourself_anywho, I started a thread there, stoopidly, named 1st grow since '79.

If you want to start at the beginning of this journey, you'll have to read the post and initial pictures there.

Ok. Seeds have been germinating for a bit more than 18 hours. Temp is 70°F and humidity is 100%.

I've placed a heating pad, set to low, under the box. My thinking is that, in the spring time, the ground heats which sends all kinds of kewl genetic signals. IMHO

This waiting is the killer part of the trip.

Puff anyone?

very nice


what are the seeds?bagseeds or seed company seeds?

 

[Your Grandfather]

Had a friend in South Africa gather up some Durban Poison seeds from the locals and sent 'em off to me how kewl is that?

I'm really thinking about setting up a toilet again.

 

[Your Grandfather]

Plus I had some bag seeds from NorCal. So I'm kinda hedging my bet.

We will see what happens

56 hours after the start of germination.

One of the Durban Poison seeds and one of the Mendocino seeds are def. cracking their shells.

Party time ! Puff anyone?

I'll post pictures tomorrow.

 

[Your Grandfather]

I have the seeds placed on top of a heating pad with the setting at lowest. Temperature is 68°F and it is 100% dark.

Hurry up tomorrow

 

[Your Grandfather]

67 hours after start of germination, all of the poison seeds have cracked their shells and the tap root is exposed.

Be still my heart

11 days have past since my last post. I originally started with 12 seeds. 4 of those seeds are now in 1.5qt pots and appear to be doing well_I'll post pictures in the next day or so_the remaining 5 are still in the clear plastic 16oz bottles. I like the clear plastic because I can see the development of the roots_which is what I used to determine when to transplant into bigger pots.

I was really lucky and found some 6,500k CFL's at WalMart. Plants really seem to like the kelvin.

Pictures later.

 

[mastakoosh]

i will stay tuned.

 

[Your Grandfather]

Okay, took the camera out and shot a few pictures, for eye candy.

Thoughts, comments, protests, demonstrations?

I'll post some more pic's.

 

[Your Grandfather]

more pictures.

You can see the input where I move Oxygen and cool air into the box and also I took the exhaust off_at the top_basically I use, thermal dynamics_the hot air escapes out the top and in doing so, it draws in cool air from the bottom.

I like using clear containers for seedlings because I can see the development of the roots and also get an idea of how much moisture is inside the container.

The lights are 24w CFL @ 6,500k. I took the hood off so it was easier to see, but if you look on the right you can see the other hood still in place.

 

[mastakoosh]

no protests from me, nothing but good vibes. the babies look happy. my setup is almost identical to yours. gonna be good smoke my man.

What a lucky day !!!

Friend turned me onto to some original Dr. Atomic x Northern Lights _ I'll post a picture of the buds later_and inside one of the little pinches of bud there was a seed.

So, off it went to the germinator for processing

How kewl, the original Dr. Atomic x Northern Lights.

Only in California, rastafari

 

[Your Grandfather]

Here is some pictures of Dr. Atomic x Northern Lights. What I'm smoking right now....ahhhhh

cough to get off.
