Hey, I've been reading a lot lately and im getting 200 feminized seeds. What I have gathered, the best method for germination is to just leave the seeds in a quarter cup of water till i see a 1/4" to 1/2" root in a dark room above 70 degrees.
Then put the seed root down about 1/8" to 1/4" soil. Correct?
2) when i place the seed root down in a plastic cup, best is to pour 1/4 of cup of water into the soil and cover it with a plastic bag till it sprouts.
3)sprout + 48 hours should be watered by a spray every 2-3 hours just to keep it moist.
4) when i see the 2nd node, its time to transplant into a bigger pot. All this is Correct?
5) 3rd node is when CalMag should be introduced
6) 4th Node: vegetation nutrients should be introduced.
7) 5th node: to perform LST. any links you can hook me up for a step by step tutorial?
Thanks
Wow 200 fem seeds. Sounds like a lot of work ;) The method you explain will work just fine. Some of the information you mention is from the 2017 version of my ebook. I have made some revisions but the new version is not yet released. The 2nd node transplant, 3rd node CalMag and 4th node veg nutes have been revised to be a bit more clear. The 2nd node transplant is the absolute earliest time to transplant. Some growers don't transplant until the 3rd, 4th, or even 5th node. So you don't need to be exact there. Are you growing in soil or coco coir? I can advise a bit better on the other things if I know that info.
Here's an introduction video on LST:
