ive grown frisian dew and some other outdoor varietys before
my advice is give em BIG pots , like 30-40liters
i put em in 18liters i think back then and it was all fluffy buds while the indoor varietys were all fine .
i think it was because theyre used to being in fullground they didnt live up to their name

I’ve put them in some pots of soil, lightly watered them then topped with a little more soil. They are now standing in a seed tray wrapped up in a plastic bag somewhere warm for a few days.
5x erdpurpz (one missing)
they are joined for now by two critical purple kush and a mystery fem seed I am germing for a friend
Erdpurpz
Then 3 extras
Then all in the bag

I have been germinating cannabis seeds this way for over 30 years, no problems yet.
When you sow direct to soil, the idea is to use a tiny amount of water, cover with dry soil, then cover and provide base warmth- usually up within 3 days.

All watered in and ready to go
I am encouraged by the look of the roots, they seem nice and vigorous
Under the Mars hydro fce-4800 , which is performing well- no shady spots, and a good yield last run especially considering the very cold last few weeks.
Planning to top these and take clones
Edit: had to remove a couple of pics, clumsily left a piece of card with a friends details on visible

Yay for green presents on Christmas!Day 9 since popping up from the dirt, doing well- the last headbanger x opg came down Friday so they have the tent to themselves.
I’ll be aiming to repot 4 into buckets in the next day or two and I’ll update further then

Happy Christmas Day everyone
Also had the headbanger x opg dry just in time for Christmas, so a bit of purple too
I should add, the orange bucket may seem out of place, but there’s a method in my madness.
It saves me labelling-
all the same strain = no worries, all the same
2 and 2= 1 strain on right, one on left
3 and 1= odd seed out goes in orange
Makes sense in my brain anyway

Nice roots...what's your soil if you don't mind me asking??
Thanks mate, I’m using miracle grow premium all purpose…. Used it last grow on headbanger x opg and they loved it so I’m converted. Very light and airy, holds water well and slow release feed in.
Didn’t have to feed for about a month last time
Here’s the Hb x opg at 55 days

Day 11 flower Looking good, still no feed required yet…. Possibly next week. I have the fan in position on its back in the centre, pointing up- I had a tray on top as a spoiler to shield them from direct wind, but they’re used to it now so I removed it. Here they are

You’re onto something with that soil. Glad I checked in and following along. Roots look awesome
Thanks for following along mate, much appreciated
I stumbled on the soil by chance, I’ve gone through many different ones over time and the recent peat free ones I find don’t hold the water well, and garden centre own brands tend to come with added fungus gnats
This was the only one they had not in those categories

I spent much of this season fighting aphids and fungus gnats; I hear ya.
The thought of sterilizing soil is worse than the cure IMHO
I now keep fresh nematodes handy (Steinernema feltiae) and Dr Zymes eliminator. Best practice is to keep my soil healthy but sometimes….you need an intervention.
I even use potato slices as opposed to sticky traps to monitor my soil for fungus gnats. I found that info on a local agricultural extension service web site. (works for me anyway)
Every time I check in here (almost) I find a new medium being used or a new twist on what I’m doing. It’s amazing the information freely available here.
