Seed Talk

Okay, I believe our Front Range weather will cooperate from here on out. The night time low temps are going to be 38˚ and above. You should be able to germinate pot seeds now, if you haven’t done so already. You should have up to another four weeks to start your plants. If you are using feminized auto flowering seeds it is up to your convenience as to when to start them. As I understand it, they’ll grow vegetatively for about 4 weeks and then they will automatically start to go into the flowering stage, irrespective of the real worlds light cycle. I can leave my young plants outside full time now. No more lugging them in at night, outside for the daytime sunlight. Yes, it has been a bit of a hassle, but in the long run, I like to grow pot outside in the sunlight.

As I have said before, the weather and the rippers can be dangerous all season long. No matter how much money that the marijuana industry tax money funds the local police departments, the police aren’t going to lift a finger to help us gardeners., You can use tarps to build a tent of sorts over your plants. You’ll have to devise various ways to deter thieves. I personally want to see pot prices keep on falling. That alone will discourage people from stealing it just to sell it. Also, a good fence makes for good neighbors. Get a tall fence that folks cannot see thru and use locks on your gates. Also you can get baby monitors that can listen to your sideyard or backyard. You can get laser beam security alarms that “watch” your fence lines. Also, you can put bells on your gates and fences. Also, plastic trash bags full of aluminum cans make a lot noise. Shovels and rakes can be used to interfere with intruders. Interior fences, even chicken wire, can be thrown up with 2×4’s and locked shut.

As far as the politics of this goes, we all need to continue to vote for pro-pot candidates on all levels, especially on the local city councils. Otherwise the conservatives, the straits, the anti-pot people will continue to constrict the pot industry, will continue to constrict and re-criminalize us outdoor pot growers.

Growing outdoors may be difficult but it is much better than trying to grow your 6 girl plants indoors. Inside growers must face the prospect of being an interior carpenter, plumber, electrician, janitor and horticulturalist. And then there is the increased electric bills to consider, as well as other safety hazards.

I want my girls to grow for longer than 4 weeks. I like them to grow (vegetatively) bigger and taller for almost 4 months. Big and bushy. Then I want them to go seriously into flower for 5 to 8 weeks, growing sticky buds. Regular pot seeds have more stable genetics than do these hybrids and also they have a lot more vibrancy or energy. I’ve had 80% to 95% germination rate for fresh, regular pot seeds. I’ve had anywhere from 25% to 85% germination rate from expensive store bought seeds. As far as the plants energy level goes, seeds grow a long tap-root but clones do not. Clones generally do not have the immediate vitality and strong growth as seed grown plants have. So, to sum up, I like to grow plants from seeds… from my seed stock of known plant genetics, and from last year’s fresh seed stock. I will usually grow one new type of pot plant every season so that I can hybredize it to get some new, different seeds for next season. As the farmer, you get to name your plants.

The older the seed stock is, the fewer that will germinate. I figure the germination rate goes down 15% every year. So fresh seeds from last season (7 months ago) should give us a 95% rate. Three years ago should give us around 65% rate. Seeds from 5 years ago, maybe a 35% germination rate. If I can only get even one seed to pop, then I can get its genetics crossed with another variety, weather it goes male or female. But now I’m getting way ahead of my self.

This is May 14th, we’ll have14 hours and 20 minutes of sunlight today and a full moon tonight.
