[anguscr 290]

Hi people... I get the White Lemons last friday, put them today in a jar with water.

After 24 hrs I'll move them to towels-

I'm using Aeroponics with volcanic rocks as medium, they'll start in the 10 galon rubbermaid with sprayers.

Then move to the 25 galon rubbermaid once the root system is develop.

I'll up date ASAP, hope this babes spread open quick, ussualy after 24 hrs in paper towells they do.

Thank you John, drunkknucklehead- & Romeou for your comments. I let them in a jar & tranfer them to towels in the morning, by tonight 3 out of 4 germinate.

I planted all 3 in rocks & leave the 4th one in towells.

Hey Guillermo!

I'm sure they will do good in your hands and sprayers!

Mate your setup looks mint, you got some hydro skills there for sure!!

[anguscr 290]

Thank u Romeou & copious....hope everything goes ok.

Here's the update, last Thursday the 3th seed spread open, but the seed still has the "helmet" on. Same thing happens to me with a Cannatonic but I kill her before find out if it removes itself, I’ll wait to see.

Here how she looks today, seems that the helmet is moving out in slow motion, we’ll see.

White Lemon 1 & 2 are looking very good.

White Lemon 4^th is still between paper towels; I place a 5^th one in a jar with water & transfer it to the towels today, just in case WL 4^th does not work out ok.

That's all my friends.

[franco 998]

nice one anguscr!!

usually the seed shell falls off on its own, but you can also remove it with tweezers...;-)

[anguscr 290]

Got it Franco, I'll wait for a while since I prefer if it goes away naturaly, if not I'll remove it.

Thanks a lot Franco.

[anguscr 290]

Sorry drunkknucklehead- ... I certainly appreciate your comment, don’t mean to hear your feelings… .lol…lol… lol

Thank you Jango420... The system runs 24/7 so there is not watering cycle but I'm experimenting a little with the big plants in vege the effect of shut it off for a couple of hours a day to check if the roots get more oxygen but not notice any differences yet.

As nutes I'm using SuperNatural is a Canadian product that has work ok, I use an EC=0.85 for the seedlings & 2 grolux fluorescents from start & then for about 45 days then I move them under 2 CFL's of 160W for the vege process.

[anguscr 290]

Hi Jango420... The system has 2 airstones on the bottom to produce more oxygen, I think your idea of have 1 min ON / 3 min OFF" to have a maximum air around the roots may work, I'm experimenting on that matter in a larger system but I was shut it of for 1 hour, until now there are no changes. Thanks for the tip I will try it.

Here's the Update.

The WL5 spread very good after 24 hrs in towels, the WL 4 did not. I decide to put bot in pots any way & instead of rocks only I did a bed with coco soil; & today the WL5 shows up to the pot.

WL5

WL 3

The helmet is geting off in slow motion buts ok.

WL 1 & 2

The WL 4th is in the pot, never spread open in the towells so no big hopes for this girl but we'll see.

That will be all my friends.

[Guest samuelo]

sometimes i help them with the seed husk, tweezers or delicate covered hands, they look like they stretching a bit - perhaps move them closer to the light if you can

[anguscr 290]

Hi Sam... They are 2 inches below the grolux flourecents, I think if they continue streching I will add more rocks to give them more support.

Thanks for stopping by Sam.

[TTH 7]

Cool dog, yours? ...got a RR myself.

Your WL looks good

[Guest Markus]

Its ok angus, they leave from that stretch soon, its strain specific. All seeds can stretch verry different.

Dont care. Light is good, they looking good now! And soon geting better.

peace

Hi Tom... Yes she was my Bulldog, she die about 3 weeks ago & I cry for her like a baby, she was the best dog ever & I miss her every day. I do have other dogs, 1 stafford terrier thats 17yo & a mix of galgo & labrador, but my bulldog was really special, just lovely.

[anguscr 290]

Agree with u Markus ... I think they will stop pretty soon or already did, well see.

Thanks for your comments buddy.

[Jimmy 952]
