Plus big HID grows lights and LED grow lights are better suited for more mature plants.Īfter your seeds start sprouting you'll want to start getting them under lights and turning them into seedlings. So how do you do that? We know that the high power lights are strong but the problem with them during the first stages of plant growth is that the lights produce a lot of heat and you don’t want to fry your babies.You want the light to be strong to prevent stretching.
The heat and brightness from the light will help the seed navigate upward towards it. Keep the entire thing under direct light.Place the entire setup on top of a heat mat under some bright lights. Add a cup of water into the tray for humidity and moisture and cover the tray with the dome top. Then place the cell trays in a propagation tray, like the 10” x 20” EXTREME.Once you have it comfortably in the cell, lightly bury the top of the seed. Grab your seeds and gently lower your taproot in the hole, making sure you do not bend or snap it.You should dig deep enough for the taproot and shell to be covered under the surface of the cell.Īfter the cells are prepped here's how you properly transplant them into the cells: Take a toothpick and slowly dig a small hole for your seeds. Cut out the appropriate amount that you need and set the rest aside in a cool location.Įach Cell should come pre-moistened, but if you need to, run it under some water and gently squeeze out the excess. Use a starter cell tray like the Accel-A-Root 50 Cell Starter Tray for transplanting your seeds. Once you've got your seeds popped you'll need to put them into a starter cell or tray to let them grow into seedlings. The rule of thumb is to lightly squeeze out the excess water until the paper towel isn’t dripping anymore. You want to have just enough moisture so you don’t drown your seeds. Step 1: Rip a piece of paper towel from the roll and wet it under the sink with warm water. When you've got what you need, just follow this 4 Step Germination Guide:
The initial setup doesn’t require any fancy equipment, just a paper towel, saran wrap, your seeds, and a dining plate. The best way to germinate seeds and (almost) guarantee rooting is with the Wet Paper Towel Method. I’ve seen people shave seeds down to have a thinner outer shell, people dunk seeds in water and let them sit for 24 hours in the dark, and I’ve even seen people do it the old fashion way- bury them in soil, water, and let it sprout. Let’s start talking about the easiest of the two to propagate: Seeds For the most part, they require similar equipment to get the job done so we'll be going over them both. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. Propagating your plant happens in two ways: clones from cuttings or sprouts from germinating seedlings.
The 1st happiest moment is harvesting your hard-earned fruits or flowers and the 2nd happiest moment is knowing that your plant is a female. When it comes to plants, this is considered the 3rd happiest moment for any indoor grower. Combined with Clonex Gel and Mist you'll see a much higher success rate with cuttings/clones.Propagation means to reproduce an organism through natural or unnatural processes. The Root Riot plugs really offer the perfect environment for starting seeds or taking cuttings. Each cube measures roughly 32 x 32 x 38mm with a pre-formed hole in the top of the cube ready for either seed or cutting.Įach refill bag contains approximately either 50 or 100 Root Riot cubes and can be used to repopulate the re-usable trays. The trays contain 24 cubes within and measure 31 x 19cm, fitting nicely in most medium propagators. The cubes are specially inoculated with micro nutrients and biologically active ingredients to nourish young plants, and to aid root development.Ī propagation medium blended from organic materials perfect for soil and hydroponics Suitable for either cuttings/clones and seeds, Root Riot consistently outperforms alternative media. Made from composted organic materials, these cubes have a spongy texture which retains the ideal air/water ratio for healthy, rapid root development We couldn't find better than the Root Riot range from Growth Technology.ĭeveloped by the same great minds that bought you Clonex, these starter cubes offer the very best chance for successful propagation. We've searched everywhere to find the very best plugs for seed propagation, cuttings and clones.
