Sorry to hear that bugman.....RIP Mitchel
Colorful flower Bug, what kind of smell does it have?
Condolences on all your losses, lot to deal with.
Bug, great colors on that.....you have been on fire. Way to grow
The food delivery guy is excitedly texting me. He nutted over the watermelon buds, and found a couple DBMH -st seeds he wants to grow. He is very happy
evening fellers...dang,you too bug? right after dan passed i found out my main riding buddies daughter has leukemia...seems even more tragic when it's an 8 year old...

48 hours - and no sprouts on the seeds yet, which is no surprise as it usually takes 72-96 hrs for me to see life, but I cannot help checking every 12 hours anyway

Understanding Risks of Pre-Germination
Due to our high standard of pollination, attentive grow methods, and the dedicated hand selection of seed stock for sales, our seeds are always perfectly matured and can be quite large. They also possess a particularly intact and hard seed hull. The robust genetics of our cannabis varieties, and our innovative Deluxe seed production methods, leads to the development of healthy and strong seeds with a good resistance against environmental factors. Due to the firm seed hull and large size some of our seeds may require a slightly longer germination time. Most seeds sprout in record time and others take a bit longer. Once the seedling grows through the substrate it will develop quickly and vigorously regardless of the germination time.
For an optimal germination result the seeds should be planted DIRECTLY into the substrate. We clearly advise against using pre-germination methods or soaking. Please do not place the seeds into a glass of water or in moist paper tissues.
This does not mean that pre-soaking should never be used with seeds from other sources, or that we criticize growers who prefer this method. We are aware that some breeders recommend it for their products. But to prevent complications and achieve the consistent level of high germination rates that you should be getting from your Mandala seeds please trust our advice and follow our guidelines.
Please take note that customers who soak their Mandala seeds in water or wet paper tissue do so at their own risk. We are not accountable for any failure in germination or complications caused by this method.
Fresh and healthy seeds prefer a nurturing and airy substrate to germinate in – just as mother nature has meant it to be. Cannabis is a plant species originating from semi-arid and temperate biotopes and the vast majority of modern cannabis hybrids contain a substantial percentage of these genetics. Cannabis seeds are not adapted to swampy wetlands, but they are suited for germinating in well drained soil/substrate. In nature they rot if they fall into a puddle of water...and there are no paper tissues lying around either. Taking into account these botanical facts, it is quite logical that by creating germination conditions that are similar to those of the natural habitat you can expect the best results.
So now I am curious enough to start a poll and see how many people use pre-germination methods.
This gal is getting ready to catch some pollen hopefully.....tomorrow willl be 2 weeks in 12/12

Dam uncle you do good work, got any plans Monday we could use an extra on some fiskars. Good growing
everyone says that until i tell them i charge 300/lb for trimming...for that price i also do breakdown and fan leaf stripping for free...
That's pretty good pay. But, I hear Alter Boys get paid unlimited blessings from the priests, for only about 20 minutes of work. I hear its a real laid back job too. The blessings last a lifetime.
not much work for 53 year old altar boys....trim work however i can find...
i think i have a bit of time off...i need to do some bike cleaning and upkeep...almost up to 4000 miles on the salsa fleet...down to $3.50/mile to ride them!

Ive got cabin fever here. Non stop rain. I don't ride in the rain too much. Finally had to get out of here and took the dogs for a walk in the rain. Got soaked, but they loved it.
I consolidated the tent, and put a bunch of plants outside. Some were drooping from lack of water. They aren't now. Getting ready to open some packs and start a bunch of new seeds.
i don't ride much in the rain either...
got caught in some real doozy storms this summer though...always exciting,often scary...always nice to get home...

i pre soak mine most of the time ,i get less to germ & slower to pop up in soil but have had 100% both ways48 hours - and no sprouts on the seeds yet, which is no surprise as it usually takes 72-96 hrs for me to see life, but I cannot help checking every 12 hours anyway

Dealing with at&t is a PINTA. There cheapest dtv package is 74$ a month. Total rip off considering I don't need 80% of the channels. I have to call them every damn year to get a 15$ discount for 12 months. End rant .
Good to know.....
I saw a mechanical seed cracker yesterday...can’t remember where but I thought that was kinda neat.
Good morning folks
I scuff all my seeds before soaking in a shot glass and then to a wet paper towel. Works most of the time for me.
