well you can't pick two better strains...all agree those are on everyone's top 20 list

what's the temp you use to crack those nutz?

A.Nonnymuss

I can only guess on the temps. I believe the warming mat I have is rated for +10 above ambient. The seeds are in paper towels, on a 9" plate which is about 1.5 inches above the mat. I recall reading mid 70s is ideal. I figure if my clones can survive using a heating mat, then seeds can take it too.

so far 3 of 8 have popped. Hopefully today is nice to the rest of the beans.

NL5 is something I recall fully enjoying back in 89. Yes I believe thats what helped calm my nerves after the Loma Prieta tremor.

As for the White Widow, its a favorite of someone close to me so what the hell.

I have added the task of updating this thread with pics at least weekly to my google calendar, so now I just have to log into that and I have a chance...

I started looking up Loma Prieta Tremor thinking it was some kind of convulsion and medical mj was a treatment, lol....for others on the east coast it was an earthquake in the bay area

4 ww and 3 nl5 sprouted.
removed seeds from soil and put into rockwool.
I manually removed the sprout from the last nl5 seed and put into r/w, yesterday.

2 ww got mushy stem and died. (i think I tracked the issue to the rockwool being too wet)

The rest are sitting in my cloning tray/dome along with 8 freshly rooted strawberry cough cuts, cant complain about roots after 4 days.

I will include photos if/when I locate my memory card. doh!

and strawberry cough.....I can't wait to try some of that....excellent rep for the quality of the high

its easy to loose seedlings due to damp off (when the stem rots and it falls over)
that is why some don't like the dome - humidity is too high for safety

A.Nonnymuss

and these are the crappy pics from my cell.

3 nl5
2 ww

i think i really need to invest in perlite and vermiculite on friday and transplant again. me no likey r/w for seeds.

and yes I cannot wait to enjoy the strawberry cough again. The beans came with the nugs sometime last year. Bagseed ya cant complain about....
