Are you thinking about upgrading to a pelican case or something special? Maybe ditch the take-out container there....?

This is a freebie from the Seed Source Mim sent me a while back from their "Miami Mango Rogue Series".... it's (Fire OG x HP13) x Rogue Mango.... I know very little about it but she looks and smells great. Definitely some mango but also a weird funk. I'm too lazy to type out the full name again, so she's just Mango Rogue from here on out
Hey now... reuse, reduce recycle! Also I can't afford a pelican case.... I spent all my money on seeds!
That would be awesome actually. Be way easier than searching through these bins lol

Great stuff It breaks down a little faster than the stuff I'm using now but excellent product you'll love it
What are you using now out of curiosity?

I'm using flower girl still but I am mixing half happy frog 3-8-8. Working great atm. I used the roots organic bloom and notice it was much finer. got about two weeks out of it vs 3
Good to know!
Two immediate observations on the Roots Uprising Bloom.... my tents now smell like hot fish shit... and the plants clearly love it. Girls that I've never got to pray before are like...

Sweet!! Ya it will pass lol. Good stuff tho ?
Got the final trim done on BT19 x KA5 pheno one and two and got them into some jars. Both made some nice solid nugs. The nose has stayed essentially the same throughout the dry. These two look almost identical dried but the smells are way different. Meant to get all three trimmed and the Apple Sundae down but real life intervened. Pretty excited for all this new nug entering the rotation

Me too man ! Can't wait to see ?
Chopped the Apple Sundae today! Smells great and if you stretch your imagination a bit I can see the apple connection, but it's not super in your face apple terps. But it is tart and sour, bit of a pine sap thing going on. I dig it. Also really good yielder, lots of good size, solid nugs. Some nice purples coming through, especially the lowers. Unfortunately though as I was trimming I found a few sacs and a few nanners. Fortunately so far they seem to have been sterile.
So I'm clearly having issues with seedlings right now. I've lost about half a dozen over the last couple weeks. Not sure whats happening but it's been the same issue in every case, after the tap root no more roots formed. They admittedly weren't getting enough light because the veggies were hogging a lot of it, but usually they'd hang in there and just get a little stretchy. But the thrips also got some pretty good and I'm using soil instead of coco for the first time in a while. I think I need to get some more coco, I prefer starting in it then moving to soil.
Also, this is why I never blame breeders for germination issues until I have an abundance of evidence (publicly anyways) . This issue hit the Tiki stuff first so I was pretty frustrated. But now I lost seedlings from three other breeders so I'm realizing it's on me. I haven't had trouble with seedlings in years. At least now I have plenty more seeds to drop! Back in the day when I had one pack of white rhino to my name those seedlings not making it was way more stressful lol

I have tried a lot of different seed starting blends and have found the most consistent results with roots organics microgreens starting mix.
It is fine duffy coco with 1/8" perlite. Hitting mid/low 90s germ rates this spring.

Thanks for the tip! I'm using a lot of roots organics products right now and am really happy with them. The seedlings are in happy frog which I think was a mistake. I'll have to see if I can find that micro greens mix somewhere

If you had to guess where and when you're losing them what would you say? Just curious
It's kind of random so it's hard to say. I've lost 6 of 30 so it's not like it's a majority or anything. And they're all in the same soil, same starter plugs, same amount of water, under the same lights. They all looked fine for a week then over the next week they just started drying up. Definitely not damping off, the polar opposite. Just no root growth. It's weird. Wondering if some are just succumbing to stress. I kind of threw them into the fire
Thanks to @jaguarlax for the plant yo-yo idea... I wrangled this unruly WiFi 43 shrub. Got the Chem Sister tied up too. These things are great.
