The seeds have cracked open and sprouts are forming, I moved them to dirt yesterday and waiting for them to emerge from the soil. I collected some native dirt from my property, its heavy in clay so it should retain moisture really well. I hope to use all native dirt from my property to do my indoor grow, and then add liquid fertilizer as needed. Normally people would go with some miracle grow or some other garden store mix, but I want to try something new and use what I already have outside.
Cracking can be seen in the upper right seed, and a thin white line of sprout forming on the lower left seed.
In the past I waited until a tail formed, but I took the advise of the Cannacurate community and put them in the dirt as soon as I saw them crack open. Honestly I am a little out of my element growing from seeds, I always prefer clones when I can but I will always work with what I have. In my short time growing in California I only grew one plant from seeds, and all my others I got as clones.
Where I live in the South we have some of the most fertile dirt out there, and since this is the first state in the whole region to allow home grow I figured I should try a grow in red clay.
Wetting the soil after adding the seed was not the best idea, I had one float up to the surface and then had to push it back in. Hopefully I did, hard to tell with the muddy water. Also I think I should have added more dirt, to bring it up to the rim. Hopefully the sprouts wont be too leggy because of that. Or run of out dirt too early. I can pop the out of their cells whenever and put them in pots.
I am currently leaving the lights on 24/7 but will change to a 16/8 cycle once they have sprouted and formed some leaves. I got the lights as close as possible to the humidity tents. The lamps are just 6 inches or so from the surface of the soil.
My little grow corner is looking lonely, but next week my grow tent should be here. And some of my other gear should start trickling in. Then I can fill out that corner of my basement.
Speaking of which, some of my fertilizer has arrived. This stuff will be used during flower, I have some big grow on the way too for the vegetative states.
We can see this stuff is packed with important minerals and resources for the plants to use to maximize their yield.
Special thanks to the Cannacurate discord for the support and help they have been providing me. Especially @jonyoudyer and @derangedvisions
I will post updates when I see the sproutlings emerge from the soil. Since this is wild dirt I may get some competing weeds, will pull them out as needed. But I have to wait to see what kind of secondary leaves form, as the first that emerge with the cannnabis plant looks like any other sprouting out there.
Good luck. In a few months, dispensaries will be allowed to operate here in NY. It's a start. Hopefully, we'll be able to grow our own some day.
Thank you Oh nice! Luckily we have dispensaries here but very few. Hoping after 2024 the legal market will be all established and we will see more locally owned shops.
I hope you get to grow too one day.
!PIMP
You must be killin' it out here!
@omra-sky just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @solominer.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/1 possible people today.

I don't have seed for cannabis and if it is legal to grow on my part but I'm thinking of sowing some tomato and chili seed as winter coming
😄
Hah nice, I need to grow some new veggies next spring. Winter is setting in here so I will need to wait.
You'd get locked up over here for doing that!
I feel ya man, I lived 12 years in Georgia where its probably just as strict as it is in the UK. I saw no progress being made there, so I had to move to do what I wanted.
And now I am doing exactly what I want :-D
You have shared the beautiful method of producing seedlings from seeds. Nice to see your approach. Hopefully the seeds will produce beautiful seedlings.
Thanks much, I hope too soo. Will post updates as they happen.
There might be some minor glitches the first time, my friend, so don't worry about that. Of course, I hope this one will grow in the healthiest way and be ready for harvest. It's nice to see things like this at the Hive. It's like playing a farming game in real life haha.
Thanks bud, you are right.. Haha right it does feel quite surreal.

Cracking seeds is a nerve racking time. Now the fun is about to begin! 💪
Hehe yeah it was.. checking them all the time. Thanks for all the advice along the way.
Np! Happy to help where I can.
When my brother grew it, he would put the seeds between a folded paper towel and keep it damp. When it sprouted, he would plant it. Good luck. Florida is as bad as Georgia.
Ah nice, yeah someone else said they do that too. I think next time I am going to try the water soaking method though.
Yeah I looked into moving to Flordia, as they do have a medical cannabis system. But since there was no home grow I went with Virginia.
thanks bud
good choice. Our Governor says that if they get the pot vote and it is placed on the Constitutional Amendment, he will not allow it. I do not know how he can legally do it but he says he will stop it.
I am so jealous that you can do all this where you live. I would be excited do it in my home country! I love gardening & being able to turn it into a business would be a double pleasure for me. Enjoy the ride!
I am glad I can finally do it, for the last decade I could not grow cannabis due to legal reasons so happy I can now.
Hope you can too one day.. hah thanks a lot!
paper towel works like a charm
Yeah it has worked well for me in the past
That is very important dear @solominer to be aware of the nearby health centers, including the other nearby food establishments and basic necessities, for good you can have your own vehicle, that gives advantages in an emergency. You have many successes.
So true, I am planning on starting an estate on this property. Meaning it grows enough food for who lives there to survive and also produce enough profit to pay for the farm costs. I hope I can get to that level in around 3 years.
Excellent dear @solominer cooperative work is very extraordinary, as it offers mutual benefits. Successes
hoohohho nice place to have 10 plants at least, great beginning and have good lukc bro :D
Hah thanks but I am planning on only growing up to the legal limit of four. Hopefully they change that law soon but for now I want to just go with what the limit is.
Thanks much!
