Oh and I dropped another HBSS bean today. It will be the only plant in the tent until my soil is done.

Day 1

The seed I planted yesterday is above the ground so we'll call today Day 1.

Day 1

How many days to germinate? I just put a Hubba Bubba directly in soil.
I know it won't come up for days... but I still check every couple of hours.

I put the seed in a shot glass full of water for 24 hours, then transfered to a wet paper towel inside of a Ziploc bag. I keep the bag upright with the pointy part of the seed facing down so the tap root grows down (tap roots still grow down in zero gravity but I still think it helps). After 24 hours in the Ziploc I usually have a nice 1/2" long tap root so I plant right away. One day later I've got a seedling above the ground.

I just did one last week, 3 days to sprout, I didn't soak or paper towel, just planted the seed, and that's basically my average also.

I'm sure I could just drop them in but that wouldn't allow me to micro-manage the 1st few days of it's life These TLO grows are so easy you get bored and have to find stuff to do.

Thanks for the rep, Eyes!

Ha ha, micro-managing plants is fun. But I want to try the opposite direction, I might combine something like TLO with a SWC (self watering container) for a zero maintenance grow. Plant the seed and come back 2 months later for harvest. There is some debate that the dry/wet cycle of watering stresses the roots and wet root hairs start to die within hours. Forcing the plant to put energy into regrowing the root hairs.

Final dry weight: 120g!! Hats off to Mephistoto for some truly great genetics.

Dope grow! That plant filled the tent out perfectly.
