Germination Stratagies

Wouldn’t  you know it. Looks like we are going to have 4 or 5 nights in a row of cold, wet weather. If your plants get wet and then it gets below 36˚ or 37˚, they will probably not make it. These little plants have no bark on them at all and they cannot withstand temps near freezing. Actually, I want the night-time low temps to be above 38˚.

We still have 5 or even 6 weeks to find pot seeds and germinate them. I may  have started too soon, but it just means I’ll have more work to do. Maybe I can “tent” them to keep the sprouts dry and warmish. Either that or I’ll have to take them all into my house at night in order to protect them.

To germinate, I do not use the wet paper towel method nor do I use (ever again) those expandable pellets. I like the “Super Plugs” and the peat pot methods. As soon as the seed germinates and a sprout appears I put them outdoors into the direct sunlight.

When they have grown roots thru the plug or out the sides of the peat pot (or Cow Pots), then I transplant them into a larger container. Hopefully I can leave the plant in this container for several months as it grows topside vegetation and finally sexes. We only want the plant to show us if it will be a male or not and then go back into “veg” (vegetative growth). I want to know which plants are definitely males, so that I can get rid of them. Now, I may decide to keep a male if I think it has special genetic traits. I often times will put male powder (pollen) right onto a female flower in order to get a few seeds. I basically grow sensimilla pot, that is, unfertilized females. But sometimes I want some pot seeds for next year’s crop. Seeds with known genetics.

The techniques they used to be in the top five for MVP voting at this point in the day- not order sildenafil just at specific times.

Right now, during April and May, we want our youngsters to grow roots. Don’t worry about topside growth. All we want is a lot of strong roots going down deep into the container.

Now as far as timing goes, it is the last 2 or 3 months that’s most important to us. In the 1st 2 or 3 months, sure we would like to have good weather, however it is September and October that we need to have favorable weather for the completion of our flower buds.

Like a vegetable garden, growing pot year in and year out is simply a matter of meeting challenges.

P.S. We all need to act in a responsible manner. Lock up your guns, alcohol, marijuana and especially your pharmaceuticals. Keep this stuff out of the reach of your kids, grandkids or your neighbors kids. Really.
