Hope that helps.

What seeds ya got popping?

Sure does. Thanks all

So I dropped:

2 - Ace NepJam
2- Sensi Black Domina
2- Sensi Hindu Kush

into 0ppm spring water w/ a drop of "Photosynthesis Plus" microbe life and a drop of Age Old "grow" (12-6-6)


The Sensi's (as expected, lol) were smaller and more tan. The Ace's were smaller still, but darker. Ace's looked healthier


Well after 16 hours (sitting the dark), the Ace NepJam's dropped to the bottom and started to crack at the sides. I think this is quite good! The tops appeared to have a small circular hole in them…anybody have any idea what this is about?! I'm going to transplant them into seedling starter soil under 16/8 with no nutes. Small amount of microbe life in feeding water..

If the Sensi's haven't cracked at 24hrs, I will pull them anyway as to not get waterlogged (According to CK Watson's "Cultivating Cannabis")..If they haven't cracked, maybe I will soak in cheesecloth for a couple days. (bleach free alternative to paper towell)

-Ha. Funny side story..well back in Highschool when I lived at home and smoked lots of brick weed… our water tank broke and my room was next door in the basement. Water leaked in. I had long shag carpet. A week later there are maybe 25-40 3-5" seedlings growing out of my carpet! Mexi Genetics Rock! Ha


Does oxygen help seeds sprout faster? Because I've found a way that seemed to sprout Mj beans in 12 hours. Put the seeds in a glass of water with an airstone bubbling it and a few drops of h2o2. 12 hours later tap roots are out, put them into soil.

I've tried it without the airstone, 2-3 days go by and no tap root..

I like it…



@ TastyTrichomes:

Looks like those Amnesia Haze popped nice for ya! What was your germ rate? How long ago did you pick up the seeds? Just popped another 2 Soma Lavender and 2 CBD Crew Lavender… CBD crew seeds are fat and healthy and seem to not be floating on the top of the water as much as the smaller Soma Lavender. One bigger darker lav, one smaller whiter lav. All seeds are current.

Lol at your Mexican SOG. lol, who needs a flowerbed when a shaggy carpet can do the job.:dance013::dance013:


the amnesia were bought recently m8, like maybe a month or so ago. they are fem seeds. They came in a rizla looking packet with rizlas and seeds in the middle in some type of plastic protection. I popped 5 of them. Within 24 hours, 4 of them had tails of about 3-4cm on them. So they got potted up straight away. The last one didnt want to make it out of its shell, and i also was impatient, so i just chucked it after 2-3 days. In the same time another seed took its place.lol
I seen Dr.P's thread and it made me decide to order a pack asap.
His description and pics looked awesome to me.

Reading negative comments about germ rates disheartened me, but im really happy how they germed without any issues.

Wishing your seed/seedlings a happy and productive life m8.
I ve had my eyes on black domina. Its decription sounds awesome man. NepJam sounds like something I could spread on toast , lol. sounds well tasty.

Keep us posted of how they all do.
If poss, add some pics to this thread, or a link to your own thread. Whatever is better for you bro. Id love to follow them through their grow cycle. Ill post an amnesia haze thread once they get a repot and get some real leaves on em.

Happy weekend everyone. Stay safe
