Diary White Rhino & Friends. Fall 2021 Grow.

Restraining myself from pestering the seeds I planted only yesterday...

You should start your seeds off in a shot glass, then you can watch them sprout.
It's kinda fun to watch.
The tap root always comes out opposite the dimple on the end of the seed.

That way you can plant just the seeds that sprout.

Yeah something that can handle heat and drought from June through August and then heavy rains and even frost both before and after would be nice. Maybe that's asking too much. Maybe not.

Gotta have a goal! And given the way the climate is going, tolerance to some extreme conditions seems a sensible precaution. I'm not counting on there being LEDs and mains electricity in a decades time...

Yeah, thats exactly the technique I would use if I've got limited numbers of seeds and every one counts. But I worry that I'll be inadvertently selecting for seeds that *need* that kind of pampering - and as this is a breeding project & I have hundreds of seeds, I want to weed out any seedlines that cant germinate without a helping hand. Planting lots direct to the medium without any special treatment and seeing which can stand on their own feet is a lazy way of selecting.

I've started off a new grow diary for the next grow:

Highland Thai, Johaar, Lemon Candy, Syrian, Rhino D

New diary for my Fall 2022 grow. I'll be doing seed runs for a bunch of landrace sativas/IBLs as well as testing one of my own crosses, and trying out Verdant Green's Rhino D. All of these will get hit with pollen from my AK auto breeding project, with longer term goal of developing hardy auto...
