AK-47 & HDF Side By Side Bio-Bucket Style!!!
Ok friends, BigToke is very very excited about this grow!! Just like the title says; AK-47 & HDF back-to-back, as you know my Bio-Bucket System only has one reservoir, so it will be interesting to see if both will feed at the same ppm level or as close as possible, that will be a challenge I do believe, but Oh how I love a challenge!! But if nothing else I’m sure to be in for quite a few more surprises than the usual……something like a rollercoaster rid!!! So everybody that likes to follow along with the Bio-Buckets, “buckle-up and hang-on!!!”
Well let’s get a few things out of the way first of all and get down to business, this is the method that I used to germinate my babies:
- I got one saucer from the kitchen.
- And one peace of paper towel, I sock the towel in Distilled Water and drip off the excess and lay the towel in the saucer.
- And covered it with a clear piece of saran wrap and lay it on top of my computer monitor, usually takes about two to three days to sprout.
- After they sprout I put Miracle Grow Potting Soil, in a tray with a humidity dome and a heated bottom, it’s a mini-green-house. And it should be noted; that when BigToke is dealing with young seedlings or cuttings in soil, I always microwave my soil first!! This is a safe-grade and prevention against: spider-mites, knit larvae, and unknown fungi & bacteria form destroying your babies, this will also burst all of those little tiny nutrient rich fertilizer balls that’s in the soil.
- I leave them in there till there about 3” to 4” tall.
- Then I transfer them over into a clear cup size container, that way I can see the development of the roots take place. Also it should be noted; that if you place your young sprout lings in to big of a container, that tap-root will have to much vertical growth and will cause the plants inter-nodes to be “to spacey.”
- I don’t cover all of the seedlings soft stalk, I only cover the roots and about one inch of the stalk, I don’t like to cover the stalk all at once as I’m afraid that I will get stem rot.
- Be careful when taking them out of the heated humid dome and placing them in a cup because some times they will just fall over and dry up and we don’t want that!! So take another little clear cup and cover the top of the seedling and remove it a couple hours a day until the seedling doesn’t need it any more, usually about two to three days.
- After the seedling has hardened up a little bit, then you can go ahead and safely cover it the rest of the way up, only cover your seedlings up about two inch’s from the top of your plant.
- The Heavy Duty Fruity pack of seeds that came from {THSeeds}and had ten in a pack the germination rate was 99% WOW!!
- On the other hand the AK-47 pack of seeds that came from {Serious Seeds}and had sixteen in a pack and a germination rate was 50% POOR!!
Well anyway this will be my first grow/thread that I have started from seed, so it’s going to last a little be longer than I’m use to but that’s alright.
