fear my MS Paint skills!

peace!

here is my seed germination technique.

if you want to have seedlings within 2 - 3 days, without the 'risk' of pre-germination, read on!

you'll need:
-your starting-sized pot(s)
-a container big enough to hold your starting-sized pots
-soil/your soilless medium/jiffy peat pot etc.
-plastic-wrap
-tooth pick
-pen/marker
-ruler
-tweezers

get your medium mixed and filled into your starting pots. if you are using jiffy peat pots, you will do that after the seeds have sprouted.

take your toothpick and measure 1.5cm from the tip, marking it with your pen/marker. make little holes for your seeds with the tooth pick in your medium, approx. 1.5cm deep. use the tweezers to plant your seed(s) accurately as in the diagram above. then cover up the hole gently.

now, using some water and your one hand, por the water on your hand and let it drip in a circle around where you planted the bean. no ontop of where you planted it. be gentle with the water! you also only need a bit, 5ml or so.

place your pot(s) in the container. then, cover the container with the plastic-wrap. use the tooth pick again to poke 5 or 6 holes in the plastic wrap. if the plastic-wrap doesn't 'stick' nicely, use some sticky-tape and wrap it round the container, fastening the plastic down. place the container somewhere warm, i.e above your PC case/the refridgerator etc.

later!

Those are some decent paint skills...respectable I suppose.

When I first started, my cab was not ready, so I had em under flouros..

Now that I have the cab ready, I will have an tmo dome, air circ, and the 4 2ft T12s for seeding

What light are you using?

And are you using 24hr or 18/6?

highonthechroni · 02-14-2006, 12:15 AM

yo man!

i use the halide up in the sky and a couple compact fluorescents when i have to. 18/6 when indoors!

peace

So I guess having them sideways should save half that wasted energy?
