hahaha thats funny man I was at the dollar store the other day and was walking around realizing its the best place for pots. They also have those garbage cans thats are rectangular and really tall but dont take up that much floor space. If I ever SOG im getting me a bunch of those.

Yeah, I'm all about being cheap and live by the dollar tree and 99 cent only store, just as long as I try to break whatever I'm buying while still inside the store...if it doesn't break, I'll buy it!

Did that. Some of the things there only break when you use them as they were intended. LOL

Dollar store for the win man! I still have a sticky note about the plant ties being 99 cents..lol.

I'm always on the lookout for good deals at the 99 or dollar tree. I found some great twist-tie type of wire on a dispenser. Bought two spools, they last a long time and it's great for tying over plants, hanging small lights, fans, etc.

 

[homer371]

agreed! other useful stuff i found at the dollar tree...

- the "plant cage / hat" (if you don't know what i'm talking about, check out my thread or stoneyluv's)
- sticky hooks
- pots
- reflective car shades
- wire cutter

*not useful* stuff:
- tape measure (cancer-causing)
- felt pipe cleaners (felt material falls off and sticks to plants)
- anything that's "edible" lol...

Hey, so 2 days ago I started germing some seeds, 4 more of these humboldt outdoor seeds and one seed my girl found in a sack she bought from one of the better dispensaries in the area...Well I'm pleased to announce that so far, 4 of the 5 have popped and are now in soil, including the dispensary seed!! So I'm super stoked, I put them in some SOLO brand party cups(i bought at the dollar tree), and poked some holes in the bottom, and then put those cups in some other party cups with like a half inch spacer in the bottom of the cup that doesn't have holes in it so the cups with soil have a place to drain. So cups within cups...I'm eager to see some seeds poke their heads above the soil, and will probably post pics soon. I am also happy to annouce that the seedlings I transplanted(with much difficulty )a few days ago are doing wonderful in their new pots so far, and survived the transplant with maybe 2 days of delay in growth. Cool. I'm gonna have lots and lots of babies around soon Visuals soon!

P.S.-Reply to ABM, Arch, Grey, and homer...Yeah, dollar tree and 99 cent store rock for sure, even if the crap you bought there doesn't work out, it was only a buck!! Was excited about seeds and forgot to click the multi-quote button!

 

[KushXOJ]

ahhhh SOLO party cups
"good for partys even better for seedlings" lol that should be their slogan
congrats on the seeds popping man !!

Good items to add to the list, though I gotta note about the airtight containers, around december my 99 cent store starts selling quality mason jars for making jams and jellies(At least they did last year, right after I bought all my curing jars!)...yeah, jams and jellies, thats what I use 'em for

Okay, so last night, I put 4 outta 5 seeds into soil cause they had popped, well this morning the 5th cracked and is now in soil as well! Nice germ rate off these humboldt seeds, but i'm REALLY happy to have the dispensary seed in soil...Anyway, seeds went into paper towels monday night, and here we are thursday morning with 5 outta 5 popped and planted!

 

[homer371]

5 out of 5 ain't bad brother. in fact, now that i think about, it's as good as you could possibly get . could you describe your exact method when you get a chance for us seed newbies. i have 5 "sage og" seeds from my haggling days that i may try to germ my next go around, wanna make sure i do it right!

talk to you all tonight after i dip into my irish green jelly jam jars...

Hmm...Exact method, this time around I took a paper towel, folded it in half twice, got it fairly wet, opened her up and put the seeds in, folded it back over, and popped it in an OPEN ziploc bag, put it in a drawer directly underneath my cable box to keep 'em from getting too cold, and checked 24 hours later...The seeds I started Monday night were actually ready thursday morning, I just waited till I got home from work to plant 'em. I dunno, I've had good luck germing seeds, but it's most likely just that, luck. I've seen a ton of people use this method that hate it. The only piece of good advice I can offer is, as soon as the seed splits apart, plant it. Don't wait to see a little baby taproot coming out, cause they can be damaged easily in the planting process...Instead, as soon as the seed pops or cracks or splits or whatever you wanna say, thats the time to plant in my book! Someone say seedswap in april when we click up?! Talk to ya tonight, brother!

Very nice man! I only had 6 of 10 germ on me last time and 2 turned out to be male.. BOO!

My success probably just has to do with how fresh these seeds were, they were all from a 2010 outdoor grow, so just a few months old, I germed them roughly around the time nature would be germing them, so I guess that probably has a good amount to do with it. I hope I get at least one female in the DWC project, and with these new seedlings and seeds (8 of 'em now, but one's livin outside!) I hope the dispensary seed is female, but whatever...I'd just be devastated if all my DWC plants turned out male...well, I got 4 chances! Switching them to 12/12 on Saturday, so not long till I find out I guess.

 

[angryblackman]

Oh yeah! I can't compare my seeds to yours. Mine were at the very least 3 years old and kept in a film canister. LOL
