why cant you do sog with seeds?

[maryjannne]

garden knowm I was wondering if you would critique this method, Im sure Im not the first one to think of it, and maybe there are some drawbacks I haven't seen, especially since I just started germinating my seeds, and its my first grow. I took these quite small peat pots, and I punched holes in the bottom along with the one that was already there, then I buried these small peat pots into a medium pot, near the surface. I plan to start my seedlings this way after germ. Do you see any problems with this method? Any advice would be appreciated.
ps I was also wondering if you have seeds that you got out of good mj does that mean the plant grown from it will be as good? or it at least has the potential to be as good right?

HI MARY,

Your planting/germinatig method sounds good.. IN the future, you should wait until your seed germinates before you putthe pellet in the 3 gallon container...

The reason is this.. you want to keep the pellet moist but you dont want to turn the soil in your pot into MUD... but you should be ok as long as you pay atention when you water...

2. are you using a soil/perlite mixture? you should be.. this prevents over watering.

3. you rseeds are probably GOOD... the reason people don't like to use bag seed is because growing MJ is, time consuming, riskiy, and can be a lot of work.. so they want to optimize their results... they can do this by purchasing seeds or clones of a variety that they are confident will produce what THEY want. That being said, bag seeds are often GREAT!!

Growing Bag seed inclued alot of luck into your grow.
They could be all hermies or just crappy genetics.
But I got a pound per plant off of my Somango bag seeds.

Yes I mixed a generous amount of perlite in, and some sand also., thanks very much for the advice. Is the 3 gallon pot the one they should end up in to finish growing?

[Garden Knowm]

yes.. 3 gallons is fine.. BUT if you are growing outside.. I would use nothing less than 5 gallons.... (although you can use 1 gallon or smaller if that is WHAT YOU MUST DO... but its lame) LOL
