Main problems I’ve had with seedlings is drowning them in the first 2 weeks
I just germinate them in paper towels soon as they crack they go into plastic cups outdoors full of seed raising mix then get 3 half strength ferts over the next 4 weeks then every 2 weeks after that. Just watch out for early flowering . all my gorilla bombs and cssh are starting to flower just like last season

It’s a good idea,when I pulled the footballs from last year I wasn’t too happy with them,I put it down to watering too often. This year I’m going with living mulch to try and stop the top drying out and will water less often and see how that goes
Last yr was the best yield ive had in 5 yrs..i.put it down to the $20 moisture meter I brought from bunnings after watching getaway mountain use one...ill always use one now a few times last yr im thinking they need a big water only for the moisture meter to tell me different

I do paper towels...problem is sometimes as well if the roots are to long the seeds have a battle on their hands straight away...planted wrong way root twisted etc
We can only blame ourselves and a lot of it comes from thinking you can start a few days earlier than the yr before lol

I havt to get a new one mine got stolen along with my pick and shovel last year. They come in handy for different types of soil.

I have maybe a 99 percent success rate with seedlings but lose a lot to insects and pests. If they keep flowering I'll just have more Xmas buds. Also going to try using a fee camo bags over some indica's making 12 hour days to get more Xmas buds. Will experiment with 7 bags and see what the results are. It will either work or fail .haha

Yeh I've got a silent motor bike and I can take the bags off on the way to work and put them back on .on the way home . on the way to work i ride through 8 kms of rainforest. So I'll try a light dep and see how it goes. Some people just drill holes in there green bin and fill up the bottom foot with soil and just shut and open the lid at the right time in there back yard. But I have nosy neighbours so I havt to try out bush.
