When I was growing plants for a retail greenhouse, my boss never buried the seeds. He taught me to sprinkle on the surface and cover with a light layer of fine vermiculite. It worked like a charm for a plethora of different seeds, we just had to mist to water or the seeds washed away.
I do that now with everything including my cannabis, make a hole in rockwool, Rapid Rooters what have you and cover seed with fine vermiculite. Love it!

great tip now you mention it my freinds dad used to always plant his cress like that straight on top with a light sprinkling of medium when they sprout
 
The new light!​

These Quantum boards were build by @L0wbob2017 with Meanwell drivers to single QB's and I can say it's a complete different light and REAL full spectrum!

Before the Viparspectra was hanging at 75 cm with QB's I had to left back to 100 cm that powerfully they are to stay at 5-6000 lux and I really don't want to grill me babies, look yourself...

Pretty curious if it works:shrug:


Very cool and nice to see more growers such as yourself going down a more organic route :pass:

Yes, bottled feed is easy but if you want quality organics is the only way to go. Cleaner end product , More flavour and better on the environment :bong:

Very cool indeed :thumbsup:

All the best

Mark..
 
Yeah, really wondering, because me kept it always moist....:dammit:


I think it will make an appearance mate :pass:

Apart from the clover not showing everything else looks perfect. Very detailed grow by a very talented grower :thumbsup:

@TheMongol Keep up the great work my friend and thank you for the continued updates :pass:

All the best

I'll try it! I've always put 'em about a 1/2 inch in and cover. I've had 100% success that way but I am trying rockwool and hydroponics so I was looking at germinating in a plug or paper towel method, trying both, but I like your method, thanks. Peace
