Oh F Yeah

Just thought I would post some pics of some tomatos I have started. They are heirloom Abe Lincoln, Crimson Cushion, and Louisiana Red. I planted 3 seeds in each Jiffy and if you look close you can see I had almost a 100% germination. The upfront Jiffys contain some Bell, Banana, and Jalapeno peppers that are just starting to sprout. The blue 18oz Dixie cups contain sprouts that I transplanted yesterday. They seem to have survived the transition in great shape!

Do you have any idea how many seeds are in 1 gram? Well.....it's a BUNCH! And at >95% germination, I have many, many more than I could ever use. I guess if I store them right, they will be viable next year.

As it's been 16 days since I ordered some cannabis beans from Hipersemillas and I have yet to receive anything, this may be all I have to grow this season :(

Anyway..........hope 'yall enjoy the photos.

nice toms. i grew some cherry tomatoes last year and things did not go well, they kept getting eaten by bloody woodlice and then they developed some sort of mouldy/fungal infection. i still have some of the seeds left over though and will try again in a different spot this year. i also have some klip dagga seeds which im going to try and grow aswell.

UPDATE:

Thanks guys and gal. I have them coming out of my ears! Transplanted all tomato sprouts into the 18oz Dixie cups and I now have a grand total of 34!

Seeds from Hipersemillas (Leda Uno and Mandala #1 with some Sweet Sativa Special thrown in as bonus) finally arrived. I will keep 'yall posted and probably post more pictures as they grow. Cross your fingers and wish me luck with 100% germination and high female %.
