that djs bb art niice, did you get to hang that (on your wall) yet!??
Yeah GWB, the pink gravy has a really nice and beefy, squat pheno, it puts out the yield with little to no training, its the one that has gave me so many pink trichome macros, its usually less gravy smelling and more sweet smelling, like a cotton candy or sweet tarts, but with deep, lilac undertones, its really strong and expansive like the other taller pheno just sweeter and stockier, and lil more easier to control.
great for the tents and cab cats and medical growers with height limits. we call it the George pheno cause it gets right bushy with a simple lean over lst or single topping, its a monster. I love running it 12/12 from seed it puts out like a 30 day veg. and when you veg it, it just puts out mean ass colas and bud sticks
the sat dom aka platinum gravy pheno, that one is hiiighly sought after and regarded too though, has some of the most unreal expansion I've ever seen, top 2 of all time for me, only one that comes close is my dads heirloom collection, his top one from that is too bloody serious..almost deadly, for sure requires a recovery time. but yeah like that, this thinner pheno is so pungent too, that more limonene pronounced pheno that puts out that deep complex lemony fruit loops smell but it turns to gravy smells at different stages of different specimens lives, some in flower, some in cure, the gravy smell can pop late, right when the rh gets perfect. to the point it shocks you at first and has made people gag when resmelling its the funniest when that happens. the Chernobyl and Super Lemon Haze can both put out frost in veg too, they're simply just heavy hitters and combining freaky parents just made killer killer beans, its hard for me to like other beans as much cause these ones germ soo fast and I get so many females, and all are keepers, thats the kind of beans I like, they are so stable theyre rock solid. I cant get these to hermie even when I do stress tests and leave lights on. the heat just makes them pray

@PigTrotter thanks bud, the JackShit has a crystal lamp helping it fatten up, its got an electric twist on that classic pricing Jack smell, its a zinger that makes you perk up, and say
"holy shit."
"wasn't expecting that, lol"

What I have been doing is not the paper towel method.. I usually use room temp RO water to soak and rinse, especially heirlooms, and then re soak in more tepid clean RO for 24 hours or so, til shells crack, and tails start to emerge and protrude a bit, using a heating pad, in a glass (low-ball with flat bottom) and taped sides for darkness, then into a dark warm room with good airflow, as oxygen is paramagnetic and helps speed things, then once they crack, bam, they go into a humid dome with compost rich soil where they are left for a couple days in a half inch of soil only.. from there within 2 to 3 days they are 1 to 2 inches tall and I pull them out gently which is really really easy at such a thin amount and straight into 2 inch squares and then a few days after that into half gallons or beer cups..
Ive also been playing with just putting them straight into the soil, even straight into 7 gallon pots, which only works well if you have a lot of airflow, highly paramagnetic mix, no bugs, and a great mixed spectrum..
Putting 5 or ten of them straight into a humid dome (half inch of soil in a tray) without soaking is my latest thing, thanks to @calliandra for the tip, as seeds put out signals that attract beneficial bacteria and so forth even before they open, right Cali?! Any good links on that by chance? Thats a trick I would use for old heirloom mmj seeds cause the calluses along the seams of the seed could use a little breaking down and softening up and now I hear its great to do.. I do like to see my seeds crack though, and I measure the speed, and then use the water to start the life, its better water than I thought!!

Building on previous research conducted by Professor Eric Nelson's research group in the Department of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology, Ph.D. student Allison Jack has shown that beneficial microbes in vermicompost can colonize a seed's surface and protect it from infection by releasing a substance that interferes with the chemical signaling between the host and the pathogen.
