Also a good point, and that's why I plant directly into cubes/rooters myself. I don't like handling the seeds once the root is out. But tons of people go from soak to cube successfully so each to their own!

Now that I’m better with rw, I should probably do that too. I’ve been letting them lounge in a towel for a day. Tough trying to stuff a pig tail sometimes.

This is a living nightmare. Trying to place a seed from a 100 dollar pack. The more delicate I try to be the more I start shaking.

I am using a let them float til the tap root is long enough method. These taps are only a couple millimeter long as it's been about 24 hours now. If they sink, into a paper towel they go. If they stay floating, they should crack and be good to go. I think prior I was using too much water in the paper towels and drowning them. Kyle Kushman has a great video on YouTube and this video is basically where I learned it.

You should see how I feel with $200 packs haha.

Also, when I say taps are starting to show, I legit mean they just popped open. Like they are only a millimeter or two long. By this evening though, they will be planted into rockwool.
Yeah, I hate the paper towel method. I always find it's too easy to screw up. I start in rapid rooters these days, or straight into premoistened medium (soil or coco)
You can plant virtually the instant you see tap roots though, the longer they are, the harder they are to work with.
Is this the Kushman video your referring too btw?
Just curious cause I wanted to see exactly the steps you were following

Inflation is everywhere. Crazy to think that's like $20 per seed and Subcool mentioned getting 30,000 seeds in a 6ft x 6ft closet...
But, in the long run, it's not about how much product you can make, it's about how much you can sell...

I am ok with $20 per though. Well, as long as I grow a gram on each plant lol. But I get what you are saying.

Seeds have all cracked open and have been planted directly into Rockwool 1.5 x 1.5 inch cubes ( I believe ). I removed the dome they are under for a brief picture.
Cubes are labeled vertically not horizontally. Will need to remove 3 if they all sprout. From left to right, Apple Fritter, Gorilla Dosha, Hot Sauce and Platinum Gorilla. Temps currently are 81F with a respected 62% humidity level without the use of a humidifier.

Yes, that's the one. I try to avoid paper towels if I don't need them. Once I see the seed is cracked and the root is starting to show ever so slightly, is when I planted. Prior, I used to soak 24 hours, then over to the plate, however, I was using too much water on the plate and I believe the standing water drowned them. I actually went 100% this time, a first ever for me.

So I am currently using my vegetative and flowering lights to sprout my seeds. I know this is beyond the power and light needed for this stage. I am currently looking at some T5 fluorescent lights for just sprouting seeds only. Is there anything I need to avoid or look for?

Getting ready to trim the Booger Sugar today. Genetics were from Envy Genetics and this was grown from clone.

Checking this morning, Gorilla Dosha V2 #1 we will call her was the first to break ground as we can call it. I assumed this as this was the first seedling to crack it's shell.

On another note, I am already preparing my next grow lineup. I have a hard time staying away from breeder drop pictures. With that said, I have Putang and Anaphylaxis from Mass Medical headed my way and I also have In House's Cakes & Creme coming too.

Mass Medical has always been a favorite of mine. When I seen the Putang was being released again, I noticed Anaphylaxis was there too which is a collab with Thug Pug's Peanut Butter Breathe. In House on the other hand, their pictures are just beyond real sometimes.

I finished trimming the Booger Sugar today, the final plant from my last 8 plant frow. In a 4x8, I used 1300w with driver power at 60-75% and averaged just over 1g per watt. There was a lot of grower error on this one and I truly believe I can push those averages even higher.
