I got a hold of 12 fresh seeds... im not going all out for a grow op or doing germination or some crap like that. i went old fasioned and made 12 finger holes in good fertilzed soil... and droped a seed in each hole.. coverd and waterd.. they are in my back yard.. what are your opinions? will any of them grow naturaly? how long? did i waste my time?
You should have germinated them since it's seriously nothing, but theres a good chance they'll grow. Are they in the ground? Are they spread out? They'll grow all summer and flower between sept-dec. They will probably get huge too so you may want to eventually put them in a place they can be concealed.
I know it's all said and done... but here's what you should do next time man. Phase One - Germination As this is a seed guide, you'll first need to get seeds. Seeds from a seed bank are generally good. Try to get feminized seeds. Although costly, they will save you money in the end. If you use random bagseed, which is fine, remember, generally speaking, the better the weed you find the seed in, the better the seed. Try not to use tiny seeds, generally the bigger, the better For the first phase You'll need: some seeds, a plastic baggie, Toilet paper, purified water. (collect dehumidifier water, rain water, or allow a cup of tap water to sit overnight) (Tap water contains harmful additives which will evaporate upon sitting) Steps (respective to pictures) 1. Wash your hands. Lay your seeds out on a table. Press down on each seed with your thumb, just to the point where your thumb hurts. If it cracks, it was no good to start. Smoke the bad ones,(it's a strange sensation) and continue with the good. 2.a)Take some toilet paper and tear out four connected sheets. b)Rip them in half so that you have a set of 2 connected sheets. c)Fold each set in half so that you have 2 pieces, the size of 1 3. Wash your hands. a)Dip your hand into the water and sprinkle water onto one of the pieces of TP. Get it kinda moist. b) spread the seeds out on the sheet, sprinkle a little, and cover with the other piece of TP, and repeat the sprinkling. Sprinkle until it's pretty moist. now press the two moist sheets together lightly, sandwhiching the seeds. 4. Put the Sheet ina plastic bag, seal, and put in a dark warm location. Check the moisture every 12 hrs. Keep em moist. 5. Look for cracking of seeds and the protusion of taproots. This could take from 24 hrs to 2 weeks. Check often, along with your moisture patrol. Phase Two - Seedlings You'll need expanding Peat pellets (widely available Home hardware, walmart etc) Your germinated seeds purified water (see phase one) tweezers Steps (Respective to pictures) 1. Heat your water, stovetop works Just get it warm, not too hot. Pour it slowly over the peat pellets until they finish expanding. 2. forge a small hole in the center of each pellet, set aside some of the soil to cover the seed with. 3. Using the tweezers, never fingers, put seeds, white-root-down one per hole, and cover with 1/4-1/2 inch of the peat. 4. Water them a little. 5. Place them in a dark warm location and keep them moist. Look for small white plants emerging with two small round leaves. This should take 1-6 days. Now apply bright light... usually I use compact fluorescents 1-2" from the foliage.
