Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[PCBuds]

I stirred it and got a few more to sink.

 

[q3corn]

I keep seeds at room temperature in an airtight container and that has done fine for me with 8+ year old seeds. I think if you're gonna freeze 'em you gotta make sure they're not gonna die through constant freeze/thaw cycles

 

[sturgeongeneral]

I never freeze seeds. Always the fridge. I've even kept cuts in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

 

[PCBuds]

Half my seeds are green.

They really are crap. Lol

I didn't even know my plant hermed and made seeds until after I trimmed and jarred it.
I poured the buds out to dry up more and a few seeds fell out of the jar.

I ended up finding about 170 seeds. Lol

 

[q3corn]

Yeah immature seeds won't germ. Now that I look at it, those seeds in that cup aren't mature. Try to find the darkest seeds you have.

 

[PCBuds]

The darkest seeds are the only ones that sank.

The green ones are floating.



I stirred it again and a few more dropped.

 

[PCBuds]

 

[PCBuds]

My headless sprout is hanging on but it may be just dying slowly? Lol

I got one seedling sprouted.
It was the only one that actually cracked open.







I'm not seeing any cracked seeds in the cup yet.
Most have finally sunk.

 

[PCBuds]

I've got one White Widow Autoflower seed left.


I'm going to aim for a new window plant.

 

[PCBuds]

She's in the shot glass now.

I intend to leave her submerged for 2 days or until she cracks.
Then I will drain the excess water and let the taproot grow.








I used distilled water PH'd to 6.3.

Bellybutton up.

 

[PCBuds]

 

[PCBuds]

My decapitated White Widow still looks like she's trying.

 

[PCBuds]

It's been 48 hours so I checked my seeds in the cup and none of them had cracked open.

I decided to throw everything out and focus on my final CandyCane seed.

We'll see if I can get it to crack.

 

[SuperBadGrower]

It's not really about seeing them open in the water though, that is just to get them wet. After a few hours of soak they sink to the bottom with a little tap. That's when most people take them out of the water. I'm pretty sure oxygen is required for germination.

 

[q3corn]

^ True. Seeds need air just as much as they need water. That's why I use paper towels to germ my seeds, so they don't drown.


Take a paper towel, soak it in water, wring it out gently, and then carefully place a seed inside the fold. in 2 days it should crack.

 

[PCBuds]

Well, I went with 16 hours submerged and then dumped out the excess water.

There's about 1/4" of water at the bottom and a nice bubble of air that's open to the top of the glass.

I used paper towel and distilled water.






I think it's pretty much the same idea as the regular paper towel method but I think it can breathe better.

 

[q3corn]

Looks ok from here. Time will tell!

 

[SuperBadGrower]

Some PCG flew my way too

Has your stuff arrived yet? What takes so long? Is it normal in canada?
edit: Oh, it must be because it comes from overseas

 

[PCBuds]

Yeah, it finally shipped with a tracking number three days ago.
I don't know how long it will take to get here.

ReikoX mailed me some seeds too.
We'll see what gets here first.

 

[PCBuds]

I'm making a new pot for my window plant.







This should let her drain and breathe.









Erroneous picture...
