Must have low moisture content in them seeds before frozen.

Many lost seeds if frozen too moist, too soon after harvest.

RandomMan is right, the freezer wont harm them. You have to remember Marijuana is an annual, which means seeds are deposited in fall, and germinate in spring, yet in between they must endure winter and the often times freezing temperatures with it.

Hey all, If you enjoy seeing seedlings growing as much as I do, then please check out my GN Thai Stick & Afropips Durban Poison grow in my signature.

My feeding has changed somewhat for my seedlings now, for the better. Im using WSF + CRF(Osmocote) to meet the plants nutritional needs, and I think they're performing excellent with this approach. If you want to see how the combo plays out longterm come on over. These Thai and DP will give us alot of time to judge the results.

No problem Trich. I hope you enjoy the thread, and learn something from it. Seems like this thread could be a good read for first time growers who are unsure when and how often to feed. If you have any follow up questions, let em rip.

Im glad the thread was of help to you. Its hard to sift through all the misinformation on the threads. Thats why I like experimenting and trying new things. Its the best way to learn rather than relying on what someone on some random forum said

You're clearly on the right track at this point. Keep up the fine work, and keep them green.

I'm still not sure this question has been answered. OP said 160ppm is the highest he's ever fed on a regular basis, but is that seedlings or plants?

If you had a plant in full on veg, close to flowering, is 160ppm a full strength dose?

I don't want to assume that it is when a full strength dose is more, and end up killing all of my seedlings because I gave them a full dose of the ferts I use, which aren't measured in ppm as I'm an outdoor gardener (with no irrigation).
