Don't you ever wonder how seeds got their names? Some of them I can understand, others, well...:Pbongsmilie:peace: Mine are already in soil.

The logo is the leopard spots? Once they have tails, how do you plant them?
It's an "S". And I plant them like any seed, in soil when I grow in soil, in rockwool cubes when I grow in hydro. No special treatment. For soil I use mini pots so I can fit a lot in my T8 preveg cabinet.

This is 13 days later, had 30 of these in mini pots under 54watt T8:

After 17 days, 20 best in larger pots, now under mh 400w on 12/12.

I meant how do you handle them and do you position them in any special orientation?
I push them down first so they sink (which they all do once popped and pushed under water), then poor most of the water out of the thermocup they were in. The last bit of water I poor out together with the seeds into a small bowl or glass or on a tissue. After that I just pick them one by one, sometimes scoop a few one a teaspoon first, and then plant them.

I obviously try to grab them by the end opposite of the tap root so they usually end up root down. I don't bother changing it if it ends up differently. I do try to avoid the side that popped open first from point upwards. They usually all pop the soil and drop the shell in 24-48hours after that either way. Which in total doesn't make it faster then planting them directly but does help to get them all to pop the same day. Not in a rush but with short veg time a few days difference skews making comparisons and selections later on.

I have wanted to create a presentation like that. It really shows the variety.

I took a hundred pictures of seeds in the bag last night. I want to take them out and get some nice pics like yours.

Thank you for contributing such a beautiful presentation of seed diversity!

Here is the Maku Tall (smelled like cherry diesel) crossed with the Maku male and the Jaki male:





Sorry about the crappy bag pictures. At least I covered my atrocious handwriting with a label :)

Cheers,
Mo

Cheers man. As the collection grows hopefully I can find even more diversity and take an updated picture. Those were the strains with very uniform and obviously different beans which I could confidently place beside eachother without fear of mixing them up. :D

My collection is pretty small so I'd imagine you guys with the massive collections out there could take similar shots. :D

Eating my cereal this morning thought this would make a good post for this thread. This stubborn little guy didn't want to lose it's shell.

I eat half a cup of hulled hemp seeds in my breakfast every day, usually in a fruit smoothie. It truly is one of the planets super foods. It's said to be the most digestible source of protein on the planet. It is also balanced with the perfect ratio of essential fatty acids required by humans and offers a multitude of vitamins and minerals and is high in iron which is great for vegetarians and vegans. It's very inexpensive also when purchased in bulk.


it is thought by anthropologists that humans first discovered the psychoactive properties of cannabis from picking through the flowers to access the seeds and eating the seeds with their resin coated fingers.
