I hate the seedling stage. So fiddly.

I would say mid 50s at night. Would it be better at this point to leave them out at night or keep bringing them in until they get a little bigger? I figure tomorrow I’ll keep them under an umbrella all day since I have to go into the office that day and I don’t want my wife fussing over the...

The temp inside the office is 72, and outside it’s at about 82. That’s a pretty big swing. I figure they’re just a little confused, like we all are. I’m not going to sweat it. If more leaves grow in looking weird, I’ll recalibrate. It’s a long grow cycle and mistakes will be made!

Is this a problem? I had them out for the morning and put an umbrella on them from 12:30 to now. Only on the Skunk plant, the Presidential OG seems to be doing fine. I moved them back inside without light on them and I’ll put them back out for evening light. Maybe the light was a little too...

I had to bin the NL and Afghan seeds since nothing was happening there and it didn’t look great. I did germ another Presidential OG and Afghan and they took beautifully! They’re in pots now and squirreled away in the office to make moves.

Hardening off has begun! I had to use tweezers to help the membrane from the seed cap pop off, but they’re so happy now (Presidential OG and Skunk)! They were getting leggy from the puny seedling light (not a proper grow light) was on them, so I buried the stems a little bit and gave a good...

They’re popping their heads up! This is the Presidential and the Skunk. Put a light on them a little bit this morning to help dry the soil out. No white spots on stems, so they seem to be healthy! I popped one more POG and Afghan seeds in water yesterday since each of those original seeds...

Here’s the NL seed. That spot of brown doesn’t look right.

Germ question: The NL seed has a weenie little taproot and hasn’t been progressing in the paper towel, and the Afghan is in the same boat. As a note, they’ve been stored in the fridge since last November. Should I re-soak at this point, or chuck em and call it?

Presidential OG is in the pot! NL has a lil bb taproot going and should be boogeying into the pot tomorrow morning. Afghan hasn’t made any moves yet, but I’ll check on her again tonight and see if something has started yet. If not, I think I’ll give her another day and then do another soak...

Thanks Sub! I typed an error earlier: they’ve been in paper towels since WEDNESDAY night. Think the Afghan needs another soak?

Skunk is in the pot! Since we’re getting rain around 11, I borrowed my sons umbrella. I like to think that it’s signaling to the plant what my intentions are with it.

Popped them in paper towels Thursday night! First picture is Skunk and it’s likely going to hit the pot at around noon today. We’re expecting a rain today, so I’ll put a cup over it and see if I can’t rig up an umbrella for that pot. Second is Presidential, and that looks like it’ll be ready...

We’ll see! Something I learned from this past year is that if I got 3x my harvest from last year, I’d be able to give 5x more away, which would be really awesome! It’s looking like I’ll have them in the ground on Saturday since I put them in paper towels last night. Since Saturday is set for...

Sure! Pots: White fabric 5 gallon pots. I used black ones last summer, and I think they ran a little toasty towards the end of June. They are the 247 5-gallon aeration pots. They seem pretty sturdy, good volume, and the handles are solid (even though I never use handles anyway). Soil...

Strains: Afghan auto, Northern Lights auto, Skunk auto, Presidential OG auto Seeds: Growers Choice Grow Goal: 10% increase from last year. Sum total 66 grams since I got 60 grams last year. Started soaking seeds this morning! I’ve got four white fabric 5-gallon pots with Coast of Maine...

Awesome! Do you store your weed in them throughout the year? I heard that the bags don’t trap the smell in too well, and I wonder if you’d be able to open the bags on a weekly/monthly basis without compromising the seal from the ziplock. Can you speak to that?

Has anybody used grove bags before? I’ve heard that they’re awesome for a 6-8 week cure before jarring, but I’ve also read stuff where folks use their grove bag as primary storage. What was y’all’s experience with them?

Good on you for planning ahead like that. I find that I don’t get to choose the days I’m hard as often as the days I’m hard seem to choose me.

I moved it to a much smaller jar! Would the same humidity pack be alright for that? It’s an 8 gram 62% pack.
