New Grower 2budz “In over my head” grow

[Don't Fear the Reefer]

I’ve never done anything but direct germ in soil. I know there are tons of tried and true methods but my routine works for me. Soak the pot to runoff. Drop beans little less than first knuckle deep. Spray top of soil to keep damp. I continue to just use the spray bottle for about the first week. I’ve had great results doing it this way but it definitely takes longer to get sprouts. But, I also feel like it weeds out any weak plants.

You would think that your method should work every time if the seed is viable. That's all you do in nature, just plant the seed and watch it grow.

Doing it this way I have a 100% germ rate so far. 20 something plants I think now. So pretty good.

For me, a consistent warm temp (74°-80°F/23°-27°C) during germ made the biggest difference

I have 9 sprouts. I know one of the kush kush isn’t gonna pop, I moved some dirt around and found it pretty easily. It hasn’t even cracked.

 

[2budz]

All 9 sprouts look good. Short and stocky, might raise the light little to get some stretch.

 

[2budz]

I have 11 sprouts. The last kush kush hasn’t sprouted yet.

 

[2budz]

12 sprouts. In “hot” soil. Low humidity with no dome. Idk, maybe I’m just lucky.

My Jean-O's have been big hungry girls lol. I've got a Where's my Dog in a 1gal that I topped at 3 successive nodes. She takes up my entire 2x2. I've also got 2 WTF going, one stayed rather small and the other is 3' across The one that stayed small was kept in a 3" pot till she was transplanted and topped right at the same time as she showed sex. The other was transplanted at the same time but was developmentally behind by a few days. Goodluck! Double Grape tends to be wider than she is tall from what I've seen. I had 7 in my 2x2 for a bit and that was intense even with super heavy training and repeated toppings. I ended up getting about an ounce from each but I had a lot of issues. I specifically chose strains that were supposed to stay small, were trained heavily and topped a bunch, and it was still tight.

I’ve been keeping up with your grow thread. You have your hands full lol. I’ve already noticed these pots/soil take almost no water til runoff. That’s not a good sign once I get into flower and they’re thirsty. I may need to figure out an auto watering setup because there are times I’m gone for 24+ hours and I don’t think these plants are gonna go more than 8-10 once they’re in full flower.
