Basic Home Grower

[BasicMember]

This is what I'm playing with right now. Everything is very basic and I enjoy not messing around with it right now, I have a lot going on in life, and this suits me now. Yeah, that's soil. I used to do hydro but I woke up one day and did "this". I have always said that soil belongs outdoors in nature and I think I'll stick to that after this last year. I don't love having dirt indoors.

Equipment is nothing special but follows general recommendations for home cultivation. Right now it's all weed but I grow some food too, like super strong chilies and stuff like that, indoors. Outdoors I grow tomatoes, spinach and some random stuff in a small greenhouse. Our climate isn't meant for humans living here and therefor very little humans consume can grow here. With a greenhouse I can improve the situation but not fix it.

I have to get some more sprouts planted today they are ready. I had planned on doing it after church but the hellions are still here.

Looking good BasicMember, I just took one plant on until I get back in the swing of things. And I'm glad I did because I'm rusty.

But you have a perpetual grow now. You'll put another auto in a pot under that big light of yours every month and you'll enjoy a little harvest every month That's what I did with autos. My FAVORITE auto genetics is the cheapest at my local seed shop, it's Royal Queen Seeds Quick One. RQS Q1. Super nice classic indo. I'll have a small tent perpetually growing that to have as my base weed.

Tastes like the weed I bought in my teens at the skatepark. It tastes like summer, burnt sugar and... Hope. Eveything is gunna be good kid-like.

Something I do in soil that seems to be a bad idea but has worked for me. I am so ashamed I have honestly never told anyone about this, well, IRL friends and dad and that but never online because I have been afraid of being flamed the fuck out of. Ok. Here it goes.

I don't really germinate feminized seeds from seedbanks. I use the paper towel method if they are more than a couple of years old but otherwise I put them in a soaked jiffy in the pot I want them in, I water that through with water and some rooting stimulant type starter feed, put a plastic cup over and put them under the light where it's nice and warm. Like I said, not a soil-guy really and perhaps a bit lazy. Hydro is simpler. But God honestly, soil grown organic tastes so much better. It's an incredible difference.

Once a seed didn't sprout. I put another seed in and a bit more water and back with the cup. No problems.

We font judge around here. Do what works for you. I am trying plugs this time I hope I don't regret it. I usually soak the beans in H2O2 and water for 24 hours then inti the paper towel. When I find a one inch tap root I sink that sucker carefully in the peat/pearlite mixture.
Occasionally you get the beand that are eager beavers. These were a 12 hour soak. I put them in the seed pucks and sunk them in dirt like that.,

Here they are today right now. I am not impressed. But we will see. I just need to be patient

What you explained isn't out of the ordinary. If the method works for you then it's obviously a good method..lol.

We all have our own rituals..lol. And some get so very exotic but hey to each his own..lol
