Ok, So I've just gotten a gift (about 20) from a GREAT friend of some danky dankerton! He's been crossbreeding left and right and gave me 20 prime seeds of some super hybrid nug. I decided to use the cup of water method and now I'm a little stumped as to what I want to do next... In previous grows I've started seeds in soil and transplanted over to a hydro system but now I'm wondering if I could just pop these beans directly into the rockwool. What is the turnaround for such actions? My grow is on a strictly high-pace timeline considering my departure for USAF is shortly upcoming.

His hybrid is ridiculous, here's the genetic family tree of these seeds

(Big Bud * Cali) = F1 (Silver Haze * Northern Lights) = F2
(Purple Haze * White Widow) = F3 (JoosyFruit * Bagseed of bushy n dank indica) = F4

(F1 * F2) = F5 (F3* F4) = F6

(F5 * F6) = Hybrid 7

On a side note F3 looks pink.

We've enjoyed hybrid 7 (nicknamed "BC OverDank") before and it's ridiculous over-kill, and really potent. The plant itself is dark blue/purple all over the stems and veins and the leaves are bright green. This is a buddy from my botany class at my university who's an Agricultural Sciences Major.

nice cross.


Yeah soak the rockwool in PH 5.5ish and then plop the seeds right in there with the taproot facing down and I cover with a humidty dome and call it a day. they will son sprout out and place directly into hydroton

I soak my rockwool for 8 or more hours in water ph'd to 5.3 & shake the excess water out - never squeezing the rockwool.

I also put little rockwool "caps" over the hole so the seed does not get exposed to light. The seedling coming up will push it out of the way.
