Hey Red, super stoked that I just got some of your gear in!!! Have you had better luck popping the seeds first before planting or just throwing them in cubes and letting them do their thing? Reason I ask.. I started 1 and the taproot was only a few centimeters before the leaves wanted to pop outta the shell. Super fast growth I just don't want them to rot as the cotyledon, if planted, would be under the dirt? Thanks for all your hard work!

First off, let me say thank you for the support @itsthedude
I use the paper towel method for germinating. No soak, just into wet paper towel, then folded up and put in a ziplok sandwhich bag (with a little puff of air trapped in it like a mini biodome. Put on a ceramic plate on top of my DVR box. Usually within 24 hrs or so I have a nice taproot and the seedlings then go into rapid rooters.
If the tap root is too long, I'll tear the rapid rooter in half about half way down so I can open the rooter up and easily place the rooted seed deep enough in the rooter to take hold. I have excellent results with this method and have got some pretty old/stubborn seeds to pop and grow like this.
As for dirt, it wont hurt anything for the top portion of the seed to be under the dirt for a short period before it emerges above soil into the light. Just put it deep enough so that the plant wont have to work too hard to get above the soil. Mother nature will grab the wheel from there.

Probably a good thing you didnt test em haha.
I found some balls on 2 of my 4 plants in week 2 of flower. I plucked em off, and they havent been back since.
I got a report from another tester that he had some balls on 2 of his 3 plants. Im still waiting to hear back from the other 5 testers once they are in flower. My plants are quite a bit ahead of everyone elses testers so its still to be determined what the outcome is, but at this point I have no plans to release them. I will finish mine out though just because Im curious to see whats in them.

I'd say that the Greases Pieces (once past the intersexing stage in week 2) are looking pretty nice!
Super frosty early on and extremely greasy with a sweet cookie dough smell. They stretch A LOT though.
The bud pictured below was touching the glass on the light until I bent it over at the main stem.

What’s up Red! Was gonna get you an update around the way but no go? I’ll get’em up over here. Still just veg and nothing unusual. Probably gonna flip in a week✌

Nice! Looking forward to some pics, just keep a close eye on them internodes after flip. And they got some long legs at flip too so be prepared. I think if the folks testing these can "weather the storm", the payoff will be some nice flowers -just a hunch though. :bigjoint:

No worries sir. Just wrapping up the current grow so I can rotate these in. Hoping for the best and if just a couple sacs pop up and after removing stay gone I’ll let them rip. If they continue then I’ll unfortunately have to pull the plug but it looked like after you initially found them and removed them they haven’t returned so that is promising. All good man, thanks for letting me test them for you.✌

If they kept throwing them I couldnt expect anyone to keep em. No worries there if you need to cull.
Youre doing me a huge solid. -Thank you.

She was more vigorous and had nice spacing. She wasn't as link is the one I have tied down. I have 2 cuts hoping to root if they do I'll give it another try she was that good. Iv read that sometime they don't on clone runs

Man, you took the words right from me. If you ran clones and cloned that out, that would be the "cats ass"! I'd love to play, just no room for clones on my end at the moment. :mad:

I should have pulled two from each but my cut tray was getting crowded, but I took one from each, so hopefully they root. If there is a winner I'll run it again, balls or not on the plant from seed. I've had a couple plants throw nuts from seed, but not from clone.

I pulled off the big main stem fans today on the testers, so far there is a clear winner as far as veg vigor, and structure goes, but as we all know that can all change once flowers start stacking

Thats pretty much what I had experienced was once I flipped I had 2 of 4 that just took off to the light. I think I can guess which one you got your eye on :bigjoint:

Red,wazza bruh?! My 3 Grease's are healthy & happy. Not sure if you recall,but I was gonna flower from seed.Then decided not 2 after realizing they hadn't got their feet so to speak yet,and I put them back in veg under low light.
1 of the 3 is huge with long internal space and prominent branching..The 2 others are the same size,smaller the the huge one of course and look identical,with that upside down umbrella branching I see here in a few pics.
I know I said I didn't want to,but I'm going to have to top the big gal and maybe fim the 2 short gals.Gotta wait until some room.opens up.My bad about the lack of updates.Went to try at the other spot but the site was down.Checked today and I couldn't find the thread.My device hates me sometimes.

I do recall the veg flip. Ya know, I was really geared on doing the same with the "natural" run on the first go and Im paying for it now. I'd highly recommend topping them lol.
