damaged seed: test grow

[pop22]

I believe my Blue Dragon Auto seeds were damaged by heat. I soaked 50-60 seeds and got 6 seedlings. The other seeds were in the paper towels for three days without sprouting. So I got the idea to plant all of them in a small container. I used a small, maybe one gallon plastic container I had for another experiment. I filled it with organic soil and planted all the remaining seeds, about 40! And every one that sprouts will stay to finish in that container............ Hemp with a punch! LOL! I will cull all but one male if I'm so lucky to have one and pollinate all the rest for seed.

I had one sprout yesterday and 2 this morning.

I love doing off the wall stuff! Never know what I may come up with lol! I'm even thinking of planting 40 seeds that are good in a similar container and use some photo periods.

That's just crazy!! But I can't look away...

Ohh, and they're growing under a 78 watt DIY LED and CFL growlight! I'll post pics of the light.

That's cool!! Just standard CFL and LED lights?

15 watt Red/Blue and 15 watt Whites3000k and 400k. The cfl was just for no good reason lol! I'm replacing all this with a couple cheap DIY COB LED lights in the future. But this has worked fine for seedlings and clones, even grew out a couple plants under it in the past.

Sometimes it's the simplest things that work best. We let our fear of failure get in the way.
