Bare foot hippie here, so i go direct into soil. Put a seed in coco popped up in 36 hours. I think the paper towel and soaking is just extending the time it takes to get it up and growing. Great show fellas
My observation as well. I lost a seed in the soil, that got buried way deep and it made it to the top at the same time as the other seeds but had to travel 5 times the distance 😮
I'm straight into the pot for my autos, though I do soak them in some myco and water, or sometimes a little great white in water, I've even done it with the seaweed based powder that you sprinkle into your transplant holes or can use on cuttings, instead of the great white. Innoculations time!
GERMINATING BY SOAKING FOR 12 HRS. THEN RIGHT INTO SEEd STARTING MUX IN A JIFFY POT. I ALWAYS HAVE AT LEAST 1 THAT SPROUTS IN ABOUT 24 HRS. HOPE YOU GUYS CHOOSE ME I COULD USE IT
I grow autoflowers and have tried various things. The best thing is to store the seeds in a glass of water in a dark place at room temperature for 6-8 hours. After 6 hours, try to press the floating seed down. If it stays at the bottom, it can come out of the water. This means that the inner shell has a crack. Then I pour 10% of the pot's contents of water into the soil, together with root activators and Great White Powder. Then I plant the seeds 1.5 cm deep in the soil and sprinkle some Great White powder into the seed hole. Then press the soil down lightly. This way the seed always has enough water. By pressing the soil down, the seedling has to struggle a bit, but it comes out of the soil very stable after about 4 days. In 90 percent of cases, the seed shell comes off straight away. So there is no unnecessary fiddling around needed to remove the shell.
Awesome ahow as usual fellas. I really appreciate the time all 3 of y'all invest into bettering the community and making everyone better cultivators by sharing the most POWERFUL THING THERE IS. KNOWLEDGE FROM ONES OWN HARD EARNED EXPERIENCES
Finishing up my first run and doing autos. Tried soil and coco loco with self watering bases, much bigger plants in coco for sure. Running cronk nutrients auto bases+additives and stash blend. The smallest plant was a royal dwarf in soil and still got a qp of some super sticky off her when dried. Will be running promix only next run
Cup of water and soak for 12 to 18 hours, then paper towel until tap root pops quarter of an inch and then drop in medium. Works everytime, no problems.
@machinegunhippy Nature's intended way. 😁 I just like seeing my baby born and knowing the seed is good before dropping in soil. But any good seed, dark and damp will get the job done. Happy growing.
I keep mine in a cup of water till I pops 🤷♂️ never had a issue. No point in adding the paper towel step lol also quarter inch is to much in my opinion. Few cm and she’s good.
@TheOnlyKontrol I have also just used the cup only with no paper towel after. I just feel like once in the paper towel that it pops open faster. But I'm talking like maybe getting it into soil 12 hours earlier. Not much of a difference really. If she works, she works. Show your plant love and she'll show the love right back.
AC Infinitys brick coco coir has been working great for me. Mix it about 75 coco to 25 perlite using Harvest hero perlite+silica. Haven't buffered the coco and have had no problems. High quality stuff. Currently using Lotus nutrients with their cal/mag each feeding and plants seems happy and healthy.
@stevep4236 No, I do not even wash it before hand. I just hydrate in the bathtub and a lot of the dust filters out during that process. I did have a random green plant growing in one of my pots this last run. I think a clover of some kind. But I just plucked him out. No wash, no buffer, just hydrate and go. Had great results everytime so far. Happy growing...
Great to know I did the same thing and so far I have not seen any difference in rinsing and buffering. The first time I used it I was unaware it was pre buffered so I did do a soak the first time using it
i just started growing in coco for my first time growing, ended up reading that it was the easier way. Not feeling that way now based on the required work on each feed and nutrient problems compared to what i see with soil in videos.
never mind yall… i added more nutrients to the mix starting last night (higher concentrations, was doing 8ml per gallon now doing 10ml) and all 8 new mains pretty much grew over night since adding more nutes…. coco just requires more/stronger nutrient strengths. i didnt know that lol just came to that realization now since checking the tent
Paper towel method stuffed in my sock drawer has always worked for me 🙏 . I use happy frog soil. It has mycorrhizal fungi and enough nutes to get the seedling started. After about 4 wks I start to add in my nute line at the lowest dose and raise the e.c as I go.
A just want enough weed to last me to the end of my life as the old saying is money will get you by with no ganja whereas ganja will get you through time of no ganja
I'm digging this Front Row AG dissolvable. Part A, B and Bloom and RO @ 6.3 using Clean up as the PH up buffer. Thats is everything you need. No cal mag or any additives needed. 3 plant runs at 5 gal solution broke down to $4.60 per part with a 13.80 per run (not including cost of clean up, 96 for a 5 gal bucket). Each 140 dollar 3 bag set runs 12 x 3 plant runs. At most you're doing 3 runs a year per tent (4ish if you have a seedling tent). 3 bags should last a few years. My last run the 3 were drinking 5 gallons every 6 day with fill up on Sunday.
I have one of the AC Infinity units on order. Can't wait to get it I'm hoping I'll be able to use it to turn my tent into a mostly sealed environment. Even if not it'll still be great to really be able to dial in temp and rh over a broad range
3:25 I would love to be able to utilize this, being a natural farmer I’m getting away with temperatures that are running much hotter than most people. It’s been 90 to 100° in the grow room since I switch to flower. There is little to none burn or leaf curl due to temperature, the only spots that are curled or burnt or quite literally touching the light if they’re right underneath the light they’re not being affected.
I've noticed there's not much in video on the fact of LED sodium halide and metal halide fermenting wine for CO2 purposes.... Acquire to The taste depending the fruit that you use.. Also acquired to the root growth if you apply it to the intake of the roots as well.. I've got a lot of different tricks up with sleeve that I'm utilizing I'm also documenting as well😊
I'd like to thank all of you, I have grown 4 plants now, 3 successfully. I bought mr growit's book after the first mess up and it was a big help. Part of my problem is Ocean Forest says potting soil on it, but it is not, it is coco. Then pigeons says,"Don't water during veg" which led me to not water for 10 days, which you don't do with coco. Somestuff I read considers growing in coco IS HYDROPONICS. I guess because you can water so much more often than soil
5 gallons ocean forest +4 pints perlite, 4 pints worm castings, 1 tbsp epsom salt, 3 quarts rinsed lava rock.. Distilled water with silica blast, cal mag, recharge, or great white w 1 tbsp molasses. Fertilizer was fox farm trio, ph water every time. 6.0 ph, next watering 6.2, next 6.4, next back to 6.0 I usually water without runoff for 5 weeks, then flush and start watering to runoff, 1.25 gallons every 48 hours.
For the time being, I'm still strictly outdoor organic. This will be my first winter in the Midwest, so if I run low, I'm using the basement closet for winter. Even then I'll be organic, cause I don't wanna pay for it.
I use a paper towel in a warm dark area. I converted my bookshelf into a little herb planter so i put in a ziplock under a light book ontop the shelf the lights are mounted to. 100% sucess rate so far except a runt that never had a shot.
I am growing 6 plants, 3 coco with new millennium(which is my go to for years now) and 3 with BAS 3.0 and dry amendments. And the organics is so much easier to care for, but the coco is twice the size at 4 weeks from seed. So there are multiple ways to grow with success as Chris mentioned. Whatever your philosophy and lifestyle is, one will suite you better. But I’m trying to transition to organics and I’m about to give Autopots a shoot
Canna coco bricks. Hands down the absolute best quality Coco there is. And it can be reused for up to 20 years before it breaks down. No rinsing no buffering just rehydrate and add 30% perlite. The perlite is optional, it helps but it isn't necessary it will work without it.
CANNAKAN is the HACK germination and Synganic for great for fine tuning the Organic grow for AS NEEDED tweaking the grow to add specific additives like BloomSI, Resinator, Cal Mag, etc.
Seed to soil is my preferred method it helps protect the seed from damage from handling and just removes any variables that can happen in other methods
Soaked my seeds for a day and put right into a soaked 1.5 inch Rockwool cube, so far 6 out of my 8 seeds have popped with no helmets! I'll have to try a few more times to be 100% confident but so far I've yet to find any issues with this method.
Learn Natural farming and JADAM it’s so easy , cheap, and fun to make. Ever since i started to make my own lactic acid bacteria serum from grain wash water fermented with milk and the LABs that u harvest is the best I ever gave my girls. They love it and the labs are like police of microbes 🦠 so it keeps everything in balance and u will never get terpenes like that from coco and synthetics. I’ve done it all and 30 years later living soil is the only way indoor and out.
Advanced nutrients sensi coco and canna coco with gia green worm castings is all you need theres folvic and humic and amino acids with a wetting agent in the base nutrients .
Hell this year was the first year that I tried different types of starting out and truly my brst way of starting out from seedlings is paper towel and zip lock bag piece of thin cardboard cut out to set on top of your grow lights control and placing the zip lock bag on top of the cardboard and cover it up with a towel and as soon as they pop i place them in a ac infinity seedling starter and they get placed in a root rite cubes and what until they all have good rooting

I currently got a gnarly jacked up toe from living that hippie life 👣 😂
Seed straight into soil has always made sense for me!
Yeah I'm with you on that one I've always had good success doing seed to soil
I always plant shallow and then cover it up lightly water and then it's good
44:20 darn right P. True words my friend!! Can’t thank you 3 enough! Special shout out to Garden Talk as well ❤
Straight into soil ftw. Great episode!
Never started any other plant in a paper towel!
@@ericsharp5079 same, it saves like an entire day or more
Those two with glasses on look like cousins LOL!..

@acinfinity Thanks for the swag box! Definitely needed that jeweler's loop as I couldnt find mine and I'm a week out from harvest.
I'm with pigeons hand watering is the best for me every plant drinks at a different rate ❤
Awesome Live! I’m going with Rob on this one and the old school paper towel method 💪

Love the intro!
I'm a fan of the straight water method. Great episode I'm organic but only for simplicity and cost.
i just started growing in coco for my first time growing, ended up reading that it was the easier way. Not feeling that way now based on the required work on each feed and nutrient problems compared to what i see with soil in videos.
🤠You guys are on a ground breaking RUclips show!... Awesome Keep it real.
Great show guys. I still think Chris should be using AC condensate to water his plants we know he has plenty of it and it's free and has a ph of 7
this grow is my first trying coco, and my 2 plants in soil are doing significantly better. i washed the coco too.
might just be strain, but the plants in soil are just much more healthier looking, pictures and videos on my page will prove my point.
never mind yall… i added more nutrients to the mix starting last night (higher concentrations, was doing 8ml per gallon now doing 10ml) and all 8 new mains pretty much grew over night since adding more nutes…. coco just requires more/stronger nutrient strengths. i didnt know that lol just came to that realization now since checking the tent
Great show. It will be water for the win on cracking seeds
thanks for the great show @acinfinity and congrats on a wicked launch

22:40 as far as speed of uptake what about fertilizer teas? Do they make nutes available as readily or comparably to synthetics?
I like hydro indoors for a lower chance of bugs.
I like soil and synganics outdoors. 👍🏼
I have one of the AC Infinity units on order. Can't wait to get it
I'm hoping I'll be able to use it to turn my tent into a mostly sealed environment. Even if not it'll still be great to really be able to dial in temp and rh over a broad range
I get the best results with the paper towel method in a baggie placed in dark dry place
I wasn't sure if that was me. Lol I thought it was my wifi lmao. 🤣
Super Show..❤.. plain water
Plain water has blown me away for germination the last few runs. Had to try it. So far, fast, excellent rooting.👌
21:55 hold up. Now it has to be a scoop and doop? I can’t keep up. Wasn’t it scoop and bloop? Not but a few episodes ago

Paper towel method works but there is some root hair damage when you remove them. Tap water in a shot glass is the way.
Roots will grow through the towel. Just get it super wet, tear around tap root, and plant it.
@@malloycade8626 yeah that'll work too. Good one!

I'm not an expert on bugs but with an air conditioner maybe you can drop temperatures at night to deter bug eggs from hatching.

I'm getting really interested into it..😊 I'm about to go off and live in the mountains and grow away 😂😆
Paper towel has been most consistent for me. I’ve tried the shot glass and straight to soil method and they seem to take longer if they pop at all.
4:03 You never use the water from the dehumidifier because of bacteria even though the water is considered clean.
I use a combo I start in water > paper towel till goes into cube or media
Imma give her some "Hawk Tuah"! 🤣😂✊🏾
@acinfinity5 oh yes! What do i win this time?
Soil all the way I want things as close to nature as possible
I grow combine the both mostly organic and when I get near deficiencies i supplement some synthetics
soil method is going to pop first!
Just like mother nature does, soil!
Isn’t Organic more reusable then synthetics. But I think you can dial it in more with synthetics?
