First grow if i can get the damn thing started

Got my growroom setup, copied the rubbermaid grow *thanks for whoever made that! hehe cant remember your name* got it in my closet, only got one right now but ill add another one after i start to flower and they get bigger so they dont stretch since i cant hang the light. i got 12 seeds a germinating, i got 4 doing that soil germination in some peat pellets, which is like rapid rooters almost, i got 6 germinating in water, 4 in a cup and wrapped in socks for thermals, and then in a closed waterbottle for the other 2 wrapped in socks for extra thermals :) and then i got 2 germinating papertowel method, i got 6 pots i can fit in the rubbermaid, ill grow 6 females in there if i even get 6, any others sadly are gonna be vegged and try to get them outside before its to late... if anything ill be able to bring them in before frost because my other plants would be done. Getting that huge a** tote into my closet was a PITA

one of the seeds, looks like its splitting, but like diagonally, its the curve where the side meets the top :) and its white.. so hopefully a taproot will come out

Just be easy :thumbsup: Try not to check on them too much.

It sounds like you have a nice little experiment going on with the different germination techniques. It should be an interesting comparison. If some of them are giving you trouble, carefully skuff up the shell with something. Doesn't have to be really noticeable, just enough to scratch it. Be gentle and once they do crack... keep the first little taproot out of direct light.

Have fun and Keep :D

you can only fit one plant in a rubbermaid box..... i got one and after 3 weeks...only one will fit...good luck my rubbermaid box is the sh*t....works flawless..

PS...save yourself sometime...since the rubbermaid box is so small..invest in some Female seeds....i germ 2 WL White sKunk seed on my first run with the box....it was to small for both...Both turned out male....You can check my old log...it on here somewhere.....good luck!

heh mines tall! it was a B**** to get in my closet! i had to take out my tv, which is an older kind and its likea 30 inch so that god damn thing must weigh like 100 pounds no kidding... and my box is prolly 3 footish tall, 5 feet longish, and 2 and a halfish feet width, also what does scratching it do? just make it so the seed using less energy getting through that gigantic shell?

also im just using some bagseed, my friend who is like a small time dealer, he buys an ounce or two every paycheck and saves up the shake from what he keeps * he sells 6/8ths and then the 2 eigths are free to him* and from what he gets originally, and he gave me 80 beaners so i figured i go ahead and germinate 12, grow 6 females if i do get that many even, and any other females get put outside :) its just some schwag for trial error

Some seeds that are particularly troublesome when trying to germinate may have become dormant. In short, it's a natural protective measure to ensure that the seed does not sprout under unfavorable conditions. Scratching the outer shell... "wakes up," the seed and allows for easier absorption of water.

Oh... and

Is that the metric system? :jointsmile:

no just some redneck speak from an upnorth yank :jointsmile::wtf: lol you know feet and gallons, fathoms and yards, miles, they all nonmetric ftw :stoned:

:wtf: im thinkin about tossing that one thats cracked into a peat pellet! its like... its gotta be done sometimes right? maybe im to impatient when im toking sativas

i have 3 for sure cracked seeds with a little sperm er taproot just about to come out, gonna put in a pot as soon as i see it come out of its dark exterior, and i dug into my peat pellets i was using for germination, one was for sure germinated. One was facing down but looks like it was didnt want to dig deeper and the other 2 well. :icon506::angry3::trooper::rambo::beatdeadhorse:

if you flip the seeds to flower in 1-2 weeks after germ you could fit a lot of plants in there

i got a sexy sprout, and i might be adopting 4 plants from a friends guerilla grow that another person wants to kidnap..

Be careful with stuff like that. If people know about the plants... they may be searching for them (or staking them out for an opportunity.) If they are, which they sound like, a punk ass kid... chances are they will be just as likely to try and grab them from your house if they were willing to take them otherwise (I was young once and knew punk ass kids.) Or if they realize you have moved them, they may start spreading words around if they know who they belong to.

Call me paranoid... :stoned:

i got the plants, it was my friend and his girlfriends little brothers plants, and then her little brother was like fuck you dude ima smoke it all and you cant have any because its closer to my house. they must of had like 20 plants and they slowly dieing cause he doesnt care about them, so we went and grabbed five and it looks like they just died and got washed away, got 5 plants now, we left some for him even though they were our seeds and we helped plant them... i got 5 sprouts and those 5 i adopted in

i got 9 sprouts now and 5 plants from a friend, one of them is like bushy or would be but like is missing all its leaves, they have no branches just there leaves, and before the leaves grow out into a branch they always die! these things are looking like palm trees HELP@! they are shedding leaves like crazy and growing them just as fast, i have NO branches, my sprouts are looking healthy and arent doing this though... but these 5 plants i adopted, they get white spots yellow and then fall off! my biggest one has 5 fingers now on most of its leaves

Sounds like some deficiency, maybe N. Check the problem charts, there's several. It would probably be a good idea to post some pics in the problem section.

Hey Stinkybudz be careful bringing outdoor plants indoors, you don't know what kind of bugs you are bringing with them in to your little grow.

It would suck to see some of your babies die because of something stupid like trying to save those other 5 plants.

But if you can awesome. Good Luck!

Everything is stable and fine, my indica dominant one is nearing harvest, still clear but you can definetly see its starting to fill out, plenty of hairs :hippy:|
Learned lots of things, and how to kills sprouts... but i got it worked out now, and i might be so blessed as to get a clone of pure afghan imported from holland, which i will definetly hermy for femmy seeds, but at the moment, i got 2 plants out of 4, from that guerilla grow, one died, it had no life support, and the other hermied so i chopped it,and i have a good indica and sativa pheno, 1 good plant thats on its 6/7 node, cant believe it even survived, it was an extra seed, just dropped it in the fertilizer, and it barely chugged along until it hit its 5th node and dropped those coytledon, then i buried it, the stem up to the cotyledon was a thread, but hopefully its roots now, still alive after a couple weeks after transplant,i transplanted my 2 mature plants from the outside grow into african violet soil after they showed sex under 12/12, sativa is definetly starting to put out hairs, started slow, i suspected this had to do with long flowering times, just thought maybe someone wanted an update on how this noob was doing :rastasmoke:


Tomorow ill get my friends black berry which has a 3mp camera and try to get some pictures taken, This is all from schwag ( its schwag here, mids in most places, that mexican brick doesnt even get you high schwag doesnt even exist here :D)

**EDIT** i forgot to say i was LUCKY there were no bugs at all, no infections, and if it was going to happen im sure it would of already, so im happy :cool:

Either they were your seeds, your plants, your grow, or not.
You use the word "adopt", but the circumstances you describe, despite their condition, sounds like a theft. As thieves are not welcome in here, perhaps you should clarify.

They were, and me and him went, took some, but left some under his "care" he never watered or any thing,


it was a simple case of him getting greedy and feeling since they were slighty closer to his property, they belonged to him even tho it wasnt his seeds, and he never cared for him, we could of done the same thing back, but left him near half for him to not take care of, as would of happened to them all anyways. No theft involved, now revised by friend, he says it would of been wise if he had known how the guy would of gotten greedy, that he shouldnt of told him at all




called up his girlfriend and she said their dead now anyways, if only there was someone to water...:stoned:

hi guy, saw you asked a question in my cloner thread

not sure what cords you mean man. the only cord used in my cloner is
the power cord for the air pump and that is totally outside the box.

the only thing that goes into the bin is the air line and you don't want
to caulk or silicon it in place 'cause you will have to remove it from time
to time, just make the hole for it near the top of the bin, just below the lid.
