Preparing cannabis seeds for easier germination If you look at the edges of a cannabis seed, you'll notice that there's a seam all the way around, and that it's more pronounced on one side - like a ridge. This ridge comes off quite easily and then allows the cannabis seeds to pop right out of their shells with ease. Scarification Grip the cannabis seed between your thumb and forefinger with the ridge side up, then using the sharp edge of a small pocket-knife or paring knife, very gently scrape at a 90 degree angle across the ridge and you'll see it come right off, exposing a slight opening along the edge of the cannabis seed. Take extra care not to squeeze the cannabis seed at all, but spin it around to finish scraping the other end of the ridge [on the same side] Cannabis seeds can take anywhere between 12 hours and 3 weeks to germinate. Most cannabis seeds that do not germinate under good germination/grow conditions are considered non-viable seeds. The 4 main reasons why a cannabis seed is not viable is as follows. [This method is not recommended for first time growers] [1]The cannabis seed has been damaged. [2]The cannabis seed is immature. [3]The cannabis seed is too old. [4]The cannabis seed can not absorb water. Sometimes 3 and 4 go hand in hand. If a cannabis seed does not pop, then most people chuck the cannabis seed. Here is method to help you germinate seeds that may still be viable but are having trouble germinating. The process is called Scuffing. Dig up your cannabis seeds that have not germinated [wait at least 3 weeks]. Get a small box [match box is good] Put sand paper into the box. Put cannabis seeds into the box. Shake around for 30 seconds to 1 minute. The sand paper will wear down the seed coat, making it easier for the seed coat to absorb water and split open. Seed Prep - Then put the cannabis seed into a small container of room temperature filtered/distilled water without any additives for about 18 to 24 hours. Next gently transfer your pre-soaked cannabis seeds to a pair of wet paper towels [pre-warmed to room temperature], maybe in a large tupperware-like covered container. Misting the paper towels daily so it stays nice and damp [but without any standing water puddles in the folds of the towels]. Don't let the towels get too cold, because the wet paper towels will always get chilly fast, so they must be kept in a constantly warm area [but dark]. A heating pad may be required to maintain 78°F to 80°F | 25.5°C to 26.5°C throughout germination. We use a regular heating pad set on low, covered with a light towel to buffer the heat, and on a timer, set to go on and off every half-hour. Make sure they are kept in a very temperature stable area. We use a digital temp gauge, the kind that is not expensive and have a probe on the end of a wire, so you can place the probe right into the wet paper towels. [note: place seeds on top of the fridge if you don’t have a rootmat] Sprouting - Cannabis seeds should sprout within a few days; when they do, they must be transferred to the medium with great care when the taproot has come out about 0.25 inch to 0.5 inch | 6 mm to 12.5 mm. We find that a 0.5 inch | 12.5 mm tap root seems to be the best. When it's much shorter, they tend to get shocked and die easier, and if it's much longer, there's more risk of damage. They are very delicate at this stage; sprouted cannabis seeds can be killed by rough handling, damaging the tap root, or if the soil or medium they're put into has not been properly prepared in advance to the right moisture and temp. If you're using a soil mix, We usually add about 25% perlite and 25% vermiculite to 50% pre-sterilized Supersoil. Using a pencil or something to prepare a hole for your seedling, and lower it in with the taproot down first and the cannabis seed end up. Gently pack or fill in the hole fairly loosely around the taproot, covering the top of the seed by about 0.25 | 6 mm , and we water them with an eyedropper or a spray bottle set on mist. Post germination - Now you'll want to place them under fluorescent lighting about 4 inches to 6 inches | 10 cm to 15 cm away and mist them down daily. Continue to ensure they are kept warm enough, because when the wet medium cools off at night down toward 60°F | 15.5°C it can shock and slow them down or possibly even kill them. How to germinate seeds in soil Here is a method of germinating cannabis seeds that does not resort to paper towels or plastic bags, and the risk of rot these methods bring. Place cannabis seeds in a bowl, and fill the bowl with room temperature tap water. Cover the bowl with card or newspaper and place in a cupboard overnight [12 to 15 hours]. Saturate the soil in your prepared pots with water, then create a small circular depression in the center of the pot. Place each cannabis seed in its own pot, in the center of the depression, pointed tip down. Cover the soil over the cannabis seed, so that is no more than 0.125 inch to 0.25 inch | 3 mm to 6 mm deep. Repeat with all cannabis seeds. Leave sown cannabis seeds for six hours in darkness, then switch on your lights and leave them on. The latest time we used this method, we got 100% germination, and seedlings began erupting from the soil within two days. All viable cannabis seeds should germinate. Seed germination in rockwool Get a jar 500ml | 16oz and fill with distilled water. Than add a 2 to 3 drops of superthrive and shake well. Get an aquarium pump and put an air stone in the jar to keep the water aerated. Drop in your cannabis seeds. Check your cannabis seeds every 6 hours for cracking. Viable cannabis seeds will crack within 2 to 3 days at most. Then Pre-soak the rockwool cubes with 1/4 strength Maxicrop solution. Gently place the cracked cannabis seeds 0.125 inch | 3 mm deep into rockwool cubes. Stick a toothpick in next to cannabis seed hole and gently "lever" toward the cannabis seed to ensure it is in full contact with rockwool. Place the cubes in a tray and cover it with humidity dome. Now place the tray under 2 to 4 foot of lights. Remove the dome once the cannabis seeds sprout. Soil germination problems You ever wonder why those seeds don’t germinate? Here are some things that might stop your cannabis seeds from germinating in soil! Too Wet Cannabis seeds need to be damp, not wet for germination. Excess water prevents oxygen getting to the seed. Poorly drained soils may also cause soil fungus diseases. The condition of wet soils may be improved by adding perlite. which will aerate your soil. Too Dry A certain amount of water is essential for germination, so maintaining a constant soil moisture during the germination period is vital, cover containers with glass or glad wrap to prevent you soil drying out. Too Hot High temperatures result in excessive soil desiccation and injury to cannabis seeds and seedlings. Too Cold Cold temperatures can kill seedlings and prevent germination. Cool temperatures can result in slow, un-even germination, and attack by soil diseases. You may want to start your cannabis seeds indoors, before outplanting. Make sure planting dose not done too early, when it is stll cold and there is a frost hazard. Planting Too Deep This will result in delayed emergence. Cannabis seeds may not be able to grow enough to reach the surface on the limited food storage within the cannabis seed. Soil temperature is also lower with depth. Plant your cannabis seed 0.5 inch to 1 inch | 12.5 mm to 25 mm down for best results. Planting cannabis seeds Too Shallow If you plant your cannabis seeds to shallow the cannabis seeds can dry out. Soil Too Firm Making your soil mix to firm can prevent oxygen getting to your cannabis seeds also drainage is also affected. Soil Too Loose Soil which is too loose results in too much air surrounding the cannabis seed, and they will not absorb moisture and will most likely dry out. Soil fungus Cannabis seeds may root or seedlings fall over. Overwatering, poor drainage and lack of aeration will increase the likelihood of this occurring. Plant cannabis seeds in sterilized potting mix, and make sure you containers are clean. Non Viable cannabis seeds If your cannabis seeds have not been stored correctly they can deteriorate. Look for dark brown cannbis seeds. Avoid and light colored or whitish cannabis seeds as they are not mature. Copied & pasted from - http://www.seedfairy.com/germination.html Peace Lams

Day 59 Some time since i updated, i bin busty working. It all looks god doh, she got to high (like me) so i had to bend her down. The smell and stickyness is just awesome. i figure she got like 4-5 weeks left did not have he under the micro yet. enjoy

I harvested the crop got her a rough manicure and for the first time i got a look at the medium and the roots, i mean wow no wonder hydro crops grow like crazy. Here are some pics. As she hang like that wet there are 1012 g I will get a better pickture of the yield in a few days when I trim the last leafs and remove the stems befor the buds go in to paper bags for the final drying. Enjoy

aa

Indoor in coco and perlite seem to work well for me as shown in pic but Didn't get what i wanted didn't smell enough think its from high temp with a metal halide lamp just started LED for the lower temps but want to go organic as well to get the FRUITIEST BUD , keeping my mind occupied haha hopefully one day ill have it sussed PLUS IM HAVING TROBELS WITH HUMIDITY USEING COCO ANYONE KNOW BEST WAY TO COMBAT THAT ,THINK IT MIGHT BE BEST OF GOING HYDRO THINK ILL GIVE IT ONE MORE SHOT THOUGH DEHUMIDIFYER DIDNT DO ANY THING HAD 2 IN ASWELL Any one recommend a good dehumidifier

I do not know which strain this plants got! so maybe somebody can tell me its a sat or a ind or whatever.. and i know they are a little bit skinny i think its because of the light bulb - its to low

Hallo zusammen, für alle, die es vielleicht noch nicht wissen. Es ist bald wieder Zeit um zur Hanfparade nach Berlin zu fahren! Unterstützt die deutsche Legalisierungsbewegung und erscheint zahlreich! Hier die Daten: 8. August 2015 Start: 13.00 Uhr am Hauptbahnhof Berlin Abschlusskundgebung: 17.00 -22.00 Uhr am Brandenburger Tor Flyer zum Download

Thanks dude, much appreciated, haven't been on here for quite some time, man I miss this place Hello Everyone x

Hi mate, What is happening? Now it's summer, vacation, there are also many, many fairs around the world where Green House visit and has stand, to help all farmers and provide info. Too many trips but maybe some surprises .... everything is possible

LOL, Tokage. I guess I did say that via Google Übersetzer. LOL But that wasn't exactly what I meant to say. LOL RobiL, really nice Guerilla Setup there. Respect.

+1 to jan.gh it is impossible to say exactly what it is, it's easier to say what it not is. It's neither pure Indica nor Sativa, that is very clear. Some nice fox tails as jan said already.... You know what, I never liked names for buds, too many pay too much attention to names but couldnt tell the difference between them without labels attached, funny ! Grow it, Smoke it, give it your own name !!! It doesnt need a name to be a top notch plant and harvest, I have dome that too outdoors with excellent results, very Kush like, fruity and what not else. Dont ask me what it was, the seeds fell out of a freinds bud he got from another pal, but the weed for great smoke in the past outdoor seasons, what strain ??? No one knows, but it smoked fine "Namen sind Schall und Rauch" *Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Fim

Zeitung: Weser-Kurier Datum: 19 Juli 2015 "Bremen will Cannabis freigeben" http://www.weser-kurier.de/bremen/bremen-stadtreport_artikel,-Bremen-will-Cannabis-freigeben-_arid,1150027.html

Well, it appears that very positive steps are underway in Bremen. According to this News release, approximately 87% of persons polled (in Bremen) are in favor of the decriminalization of Cannabis. And certain members of the red-green coalition are working on plans to open coffeeshops in Bremen and Bremerhafen. http://www.weser-kurier.de/bremen/bremen-stadtreport_artikel,-Bremen-will-Cannabis-freigeben-_arid,1150027.html In case the link Fails to function in the future, the article appeared 19 July 2015 in the newspaper "Weser-Kurier", in a section of the paper called "Stadtreport", entitled "Bremen will Cannabis freigeben".

Litte by little plant be come to harvest.

Thank you very much guys! I don't have another chance, i must to change the cycle. I'll try giving 24 hours of darkness to the ladies and after i begin with the new light cycle. Next month i'm back to tell you what happened. All the best!

yea go dark then reset have done in the past with no problems.
