I think old Skool little 6 man trays. Will some germinations soil. You get them here ready to go here by us for cheap

Your thoughts

I would have to see what they have at the market. There's a growshop guy with a stand I wanted to check out, anyway. Otherwise the simpler the better.

@lecroute yeah the simpler the better. We wanna have fun here and not overthink things. Though I have already measured out my grow space and trying to see how I'm going to setup a scrog mission.

How many plants are you growing?
 
I have 4 seeds, but one is just a loose one where they guy I got them from said he isn't sure if it's good.
Was thinking about having 2, maybe I find something else at the market guy's I could try.
I don't want too many because of local laws, and because I wouldn't know what to do with all the crop in case they all turn out to be miracle grows
 
Coffeefilter s unbleaced, wet it, not soaking. Zip lock bags and absolute darkness, a must. Constant and the right temprature.

Place seed in coffeefilter put in bag. Zip, place in darkness. And be amazed by the accelerated germination period days vs week .
Check super regular, mine germinated probable in 2/ max 4 days time. You wanne be quick in time.
Transfer to your growin medium before any leave or even the stalk forms.
This requires gentleness, obvious, but the seeds are strong its the root thats fragile, and might the root likes the filflter.
Let her have it and cut around. So plant wit some paper. But you avoid the funguls and all other problems starting in soil would.

Sorry forgot the one who first came up with this but its miles over special grow seed ground, cotton balls or the toilet paper teqnique.
But again its fast!
 
lecroute Hmmm

Lets get it out this method that ime worked like a charm is hmm doubtfull, or mean unknown? or something else.

Who goes over the emoticons, if anyone does ? There are little avaiable that are not multi interpretable.
Like that :unsure:. one, its says Hmm... but means 'unsure' yeah and I am Santa Clauses Head cap, only green with purple stars and no pluff at the end.
For crying out loud.

The cats cleared up now, :memecat:IDC = I Defy Cops. You just had an transformation to become a meme WHY So actually you again have no mean. Expensive loss.

🤙 no misinterpretating that one but on purpose.
And Cat your not a silly meme, you defy cops, dont let it degrade you.

on the other hand got my trophy, 5 years round, heh 2009 till 2024,
bluelight running then 10 years behind,

Or its me, all in it the head,
fucked up mind. no probably system faillure but for me a good a good start.
Thanks for the Trophy, been actually 18 years active around. [as emkee]

This a very good diving board for some Lysergic experience. Serious good vibe.

mmm like taking it into consideration.

Test it on one. Smart sory forgot the name of the person that came up with it,
not a MJ grower btw, other seeds.

Worked so good 6 days after i was allready to late, they survived.
But formed stem and leaves in the filter. Didn't expect that speed.
Did damage the plants development, one died. So it s necessary to check.

Regular. Potting ground has to much fertilizer so will kill a lot of the seeds,
and give the remains a bad start. And seeds and ground seems not really most predictable results due to rot, funghy , ... .

What are you considering, and what as grow medium, which kinda container, how feed her, sun/ artificial light?

I need to learn how to grow pot correctly. Every time I try growing indoors it only grows up about a few inches and then it flops over and dies. :(

Sounds like fertulizer death.

Potting in your perfect soil mix, figured it not out as it illegal here. Coco peed is good way to at least dilute it, no nutrition but airey and moister keeping to.

Lava starch is cheap, wurm poo not but both quite good fertilizers.
For later on. Probably there are more, not live worms btw unless in open ground!
they ll end eating the roots.

So seek and experiment, wild grass and washed up sea weed are abundant,
in nutrition. An then there is mycorrhizae and much more new innovations.
Used also in agriculture.

For potting anything that is letting thru air, not light, but thats easy to solve. with some cover. Anything from the woven kind of Polypropylene/ PP shopping bags or expensive plastic pots.
Cotton, Hemp or Wool bags, redone sweaters work, and if the sun bothers use some cover, maybe part of a cooling bag. Just keep it airey.

The roots will turn inwards, instead of circling round.

The best tip with autos is don't fuck about with them too much. Try to avoid transplanting and heavy pruning as it stresses them and slows the growth rate. As autos start flowering after about six weeks, you need them to grow as fast as possible during that first six weeks to maximise yield.

I've always used the paper towel method of germination with great results. As soon as the shoots appear, they're ready to plant out.

As for soil, I've had best results from just a general purpose peat free compost, nutrients can be added later as and when required. Fill your pot of choice with this compost and water thoroughly. Scoop a cupful of compost from the centre of the pot to create a well. Fill this well with a light soil designed for seedlings, then put your seed directly in the centre of this soil. This allows the roots to develop before they reach the more nutrient rich compost. Too many nutrients at the seedling stage can stunt the plant.

You can mix perlite in with the compost to help retain water and nutrients, but I don't normally bother.

As has been said before, don't overwater. Let the top inch of soil get dry to the touch before watering again. After a few weeks, you can start gently adding nutrients.

I'm no expert, but I've fucked about with different methods and I've found that simple is best.


Mine are coming on slowly but surely, it's just a race now before the bad weather starts...

So swapping the somewhat harder to work witn unbleached paper towel for coffee filter, slight diff, bit more chanche of love inbetween root and paper towel [more fibery, try make coffee with it!]. But do you promote dark/ bag it, no to little air. And what was about the time the root came was it also within maybe 3 days?

Overwatering tip, give the water from below, a soak.
And up-root em. Like they stick from a island of soil so to speak. Little chance for root/ stem rot. And looks good

Having never pruned Weed, see no need. Guerilla planting can be done without. So the only reason would be disease to prune or space limitation YMMV but it def goes for the autoflowers , one repot, the seedling and grow.

I just put the wad of wet (but not dripping) paper towel in the bottom of a plastic tub, add the seeds, then fold the paper back over the seeds so that they're completely covered. Then put the lid on and leave it anywhere. I've germinated them this way on a window sill, so I don't think it needs to be dark. Sometimes I've had them germinate within 24 hours, but anything up to three days is normal I think. I also accidentally left them for six days once, and the shoot was about 25 - 30mm long and growing into the paper.


I think that if you've got good seeds, germination is a piece of piss.

Tecnically the rain washing out the enzyme inhibitor preventing germanating could wash the seed in the ground.
Not the case for MJ as it sprouts in contact with water.
But although in it or on, dark seeming logic makes no sense your right, many seed root on the surface.

As without air lucky a simple test reviels the truth.
Not cleaning but clean start materal is good . And test.

Why am I am not allowed is a total mistery.

Germination in soil, even in seadling soil, is like peeing on a nice dose of o-DSMT yeah.
Staring weeks at the ground to discover, they didn t even hedge just molded away before.
Talking my 1 st trials, no i-net yet. Just books and mouth to mouth info.

The last trial using unbleached coffee-filters slighly wet and affter putting the seed and zip it.
Must round day three the root started, but as i mentioned i was expecting some speeeding.
Not nitro ignition, in car terms. So at day 6/ 7 allready to late. 2 survived out of 3 autos.

Dark or just not to light, debateteable. Little air seems convenient don t know why. Fungus growht?
 
coffee filter method - i would have to look for a place to buy them. they aren't very common here.
i guess i'm going to try the paper towel method, plus some cotton as well?
