Dreadscale Reviewed by Dreadscale on 09-04-2008. Germination Hey all !!!!:thumbsup: I recently received my 2nd order from Nirvana of the Traveling Thai. BTW Nirvana shipped super fast and very stealthy, I am impressed with their service. Of my first order "10 seeds" only 3 sprouted and they died within 2 days of breaking earth. On my second order I have planted 4 seeds and none have sprouted in 7 days. I got 6 seeds left. can you give me some tips on germination or link me to some good info on this. Is the government radiating our mail? This Rating: 5

Have you tried 'scuffing' the waxy coating of the seed with fine sandpaper, yet? Overdoing it is a no-no, but this helps water to absorb into the seed cover, and kick-starts the germination process.
This is generally for hard to sprout seeds, but I do it with every batch now. Sucks waiting a week, with nothing to show but a newly messed-up schedule.

Too warm. Put them on top the fridge where it's about 80'F, no hotter.

My germ method is put the seeds in an empty glass cigar tube, add about 6 DROPS of water, just enough to moisten but not float the seeds, cap, put in a party cup atop the fridge, flush out with more lukewarm tap water when the taproot shows, plant root down immediately.

Hey All !!!

Well i finally sexed out a female of my Traveling Thai !!!! :thumbsup:

Of my replacement seeds 3 male and 1 female, 6 seeds unplanted.

I have pollen in the freezer from a really healthy male Thai. I cut 1 clone from the female yesterday and will flower her when I know the clone has rooted.

I know 1 female from 2 orders isn't good but i'm happy Now I have an endless supply of the Thai genetics. Clones and seeds!!!

Thanks for all the input!!

Am still looking for a female African Spirit, I put it on hold till I got all my seedlings up and going good.

I am happy to say I have a good cross section of genetic types now!!

Traveling Thai, Northern Lights, Pez, Real McCoy, Skunk#1 Haze,
Strawberry Cough/NL, I phased out some strains that didn't produce well for me. But I did seed them out for later if needed. :thumbsup:
