Loving the PinballWizard quotes... Long Live the Germinator 3000. d
Thanx for dropping by Dlovejah, love the berry patch you got going in your neck o' the hood...:thumbsup:

Are you seeing any changes in your babies at all? Are they doing something inside the cubes or can you not tell? 4 days seems long enough for them to show the first few leaves.....at least on one of them since you know they cracked and have a taproot.
I'm afraid I don't understand your germinator thing at all so I skipped over it......always done my mine in rapid rooters so I'm sorry but I'm just not sure about your cubes......and whether or not they are a problem at all. Wish I could be more help......sorry. :(
One last question.......how wet are these cubes? The seedlings aren't overwatered are they?
not over watered in the cubes... I saw a thread that stinky did... and how she germs in a test tube in a dark warm place then when the tap root shows she drops them into cubes...so I thought I was doing something like that..I just wanted to try something different then the paper towels I've done in the past..But think I might have killed these beans some how...I opened the hole in each cube to see the beans.. the tap root is still exposed in each cube but they don't seem to be getting any longer. so I moved the seed up higher in the cubes hoping they will still sprout wish me luck, cuz I think I'm gonna need it with these ones...I hope I haven't let the Ganja Fairy down:sadcrying
and keep them warm.....even a regiular heating pad on low with a layer or two of towel between it and the seeds will help. Along with keeping them warmer; check and see if they need more water if place on top of heat......,mine seem to need watering more and I keep them on low heat during germination.
I'm keeping them over heat, a CFL... w/ a fan blowing on it the temps are between the high 70's low 80's throughout the day...got the cubes in a jiffy pot tray with the lid on loosely(didn't wanna pull out the larger propagation tray w/ humidome)...I'm staying on top of making sure the cubes don't dry out, and not get over watered...I modeled the GERMINATOR 3000 from stinky's post on germinating, in one of her threads & some tips from a Jorge Cervantes book...Maybe I left them in there too long..I dunno...starting to bum me out, that I might have ruined my chance at a good strain, the MK...as I do still have some more SNLxNH beans...I'll give these late bloomers a chance at life, but if something doesn't happen soon I'll be looking through the bean bag for some more....I can't say if I'll be using the GERMINATOR 3000 though, it could get an early retirement...lol...Quote:

As I try to decide if I'll give him another chance, let me ask what all of you out there in Cannaland think? Or is it user error...Hmmmm...

d4,
Love your McGyverish contraption...I have tried many ways...The tube was a med tube with fish meds...Worked well...then on to the vermiculite, this worked quite well..but the last method of using the rapid rooters, was the best way so far..Mandala Seeds technique suggested by Image Reaper has turned out to be the way to go, and I have had the best poppage rate in doing so...:thumbsup:
But keep on trying and you will eventually settle on a method that suits you fine...
Peace,
Treetops :D
Hey treetops thanx for the info bro...nice of you to pop in and visit hope to get a lil more action in this thread, but I either have some late bloomers, duds or I just plain fucked it up...hopefully not the latter...
D:jointsmile:
the husk on 2 of the SNLxNH is beginning to push through the surface of the cubes...hope they all will do the same...I'll give yall the news as it comes...
D
....patiently waiting.. I got some SNLxNH germing now too:greenthumb:
10 of them right...Quote:

d4,
Hey, hows it going? Had some Thai-HazexSkunk that I had almost given up on...and noticed the side of the seed opening..Thats whats nice about using the vermiculite...and the tooth picks to find them..LOL....but all in all the rapid rooters I used work the best as the seeds are in a warm rapid rooter womb of soft squishy material..I just pull the rapid rooter apart, to make a slit...dont use the existing hole.. and the seeds just love it...they go in dry, no presoaking either...
Hope that makes sense...
Treetops :rasta:
update... I Got 2 SNLxNH sprouts...the others are still under a tent to keep the humidity up...not giving up on these just yet, I'll fight for them till the death of me, well maybe that's a lil extreme but I'll give them a chance...here r sum pix...
later D
Glad to see they are starting to pop up. It's like waiting for Christmas eve every day.
Yes, I'm glad to see them starting to pop up too. :thumbsup:
lol...thanx for poppin' in Trinity, is that Trinity like Trinity County/river/lake/alps.Quote:

It sucks that they changed the MMJ limits back to state guidelines...
And yes it's nice to see something going on..:thumbsup:
d4.....you have the seedlings in a humidity dome?
The 2 sprouts are not under the humidome, but the ones that have yet to pop from their rooting cube are still under it...Quote:

the seedlings that have popped out of the cubes are not under the dome
My wife went to a friends house to pick up some smoke last night, I thought she was supposed to get some GDP...but she came home with a sack of JACK HERRER this strain is supposed to be a potent ass sativa is it not....Either it's not the real JH or the grower just did a crappy job ...cuz I'm not to impressed...
So tonight I'm gonna go pick up a zip of either GRAPE APE, PINEAPPLE, or U2...
these are all Med strains from Cali clubs...So which strain do yall think I should go with this time...
later, D
Agreed...I didnt catch that. I never do either. And dont have em right under super light either.Quote:

do you think the one cfl is to much light for nowQuote:

How is that working for you? How are your seeds doing?
Most of them from the first run didn't survive I think they germinated too long and most never made it thru....only one from the 1st run is still kickin, but it's smaller than any of the other newer germed beans...not a whole lot to look at now...not growing a whole lot, but one of the SNLxNH looks promising, no curly stuff yet...so well see how it goes...Thanx again WH, how are things going with you? How was your Thanksgiving?Quote:

I want to hike up there and never come back. I'll live off the land and run around naked like God intended, Who's with me! :D
sup Trinity no I haven't hiked the Alps, want to though....I had a friend from work a while back that always hiked them....He loved it at a lake up there called "Granite Bowl" he says the lake is a big indention of granite filled with water... I'd like to see it someday...dunno if it's by those Canyon creek lakes you speak of...Quote:

Things are going decent otherwise, pertaining to the grow that is...
They are growing fast in the hydro system...it is a Ebb n Flow system I built myself, but the roots coming out of the pots started to dry out too fast in between feedings so I modified the system so now it's kind of a hybrid hydro system.... Ebb & Flow/DWC/NFT...
They are growing so fast I'm gonna have to put them into their next home faster than I first thought, which is a problem cuz I need to buy a few more things to built that system, and money is coming up shorter than Webster right now...
I lost my job, and my Wife's Work is going out of Business (thank you Wal Mart) And my Mortgage Co. is pushing to foreclose (Sorry kids Santa isn't coming this year) So hopefully I'll be able to stay in my home long enough to at least flower out some of these good genetics I've been blessed with...
Sorry for my off subject ranting, but without having my Cannabis.com Friends I'd have no friends to talk too...
Updates soon until the new thread/log begins...

Oh by the way
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Kwanzaa, Happy Ramadan, Happy Holidays to all....From D4twamp:smokebong:
