ok mates.. We think they are F4 but we still have not confirmed from the breeder.. soon

So its not looking to good.. After 28 hours of soaking in some water. I placed them into A container with A paper towel thats moistened well, and placed on top the fridge where its cool and warm... Its how I usually always germinate my seeds, thats if they dont pop open or have long tap roots while still in the cup of water..

Even now, only A couple have cracked. The other 2 still have shown no signs of germinating, but I will plant them into some soil anyways..

Im going to be taking some pictures to show proof, but I will be trying to germinate another 2-4 seeds.

Ouch, I'm sorry to hear this ... I wish you the best of luck for the next round.

So its been awhile, but ive been checking up right before I go to sleep everyday for any action.

Im glad to say that after these many days lol, or what seemed to be eternity (haha jk seedsman!). We have first signs of movement! I checked the container just now and 3/4 seeds have finally cracked and are showing the smallest tap coming out!

Im pretty damn suprised to be honest. I thought these where done for, but now I know they're still alive. Yesterday when I checked they werent cracked at all! Im going to leave them most likely till tomorrow night, and then put them into some soil.

Maybe PH too high or low? Temperature too low? Towels very or slightly moist? 5 days to just open are too many for these seeds, usually 2 or 3 days maximum to open .. but who knows, anyway they got it, good luck with next step..

[Dakine]

I was thinking it was a long time to lol. But I had some other seeds in the same exact container and used same water from same faucet, and they where right next to the WW seeds when soaking.. The other seeds cracked and where showing decent sized tap roots at about 34-38 hours of soaking.

So not to sure. But when I did open the container I had the WW seeds in last night, it did seem A bit on the colder side? But its the same method I always used for seeds that never cracked while soaking, and it always worked faster..

Damn man, now you got me wondering about it.. I stopped worrying once I saw them cracked open haha!

Nothing, do not worry, I thought only germinated those seeds, if there were others in the same conditions (pH, temperature and humidity), germinated at 48 hours, everything was correct. Who knows that it could happen .. but the fact that they are all seeds made me doubt, sometimes I find some lazy seeds but never a complete package, that is what intrigued me..

[Dakine]

Haha J, maybe we might never know? Or we wont until I try to germ more of them!

Sooo, I really wanted to veg these out in 1-Gallon or maybe some 2-Gallon Smart Pots. Then I'd put them into 3-5 Gallon Smart Pots to flower and finish in.. BUT I just had to transplant/Up pot A couple of plants from 1-Gallon Smart Pots into bigger pots.. I literally was ripping roots from the fabric..

I can clearly see that these plants where effected by me molesting her roots.. Do any of you have any advice/tips/knowledge on this? How bad am I damaging/shocking the plants?

[Dakine]

So im thinking I gotta try and germ some more beans. None have broke the surface yet, even though all the other seeds from other strains/crosses have already broke soil. The other seeds/strains where germinated with the 100% same exact method as the White Widows. No difference at all in anyway.

Gonna get this started already. I really have high hopes for Seedsmans White Widow. You guys see the pics J post? Fricken WW looks Dank AF!

[Dakine]

So Just to rule out the method I use to germinate my seeds. I will be germinating 3 other seeds the same exact way ill be germinating the white widows. Same container/jar to soak the seeds in, and then if none of them crack or show small tap roots while soaking, they will all be placed in the same exact container with A moist paper towel put on top the fridge..

White Widows are the 3 seeds at the top. 2-GSC S1 seeds, and 1-Alien3k -(Fire Alien Kush x BHB3k)
