Day 1 - Germinating Wedding Crasher, Lemon Drip, Big Mack Superstar Cannabis Seeds

Hello Everyone,

After a fifty percent failure rate with the last germination, I decided to germinate some more of the Lemon Drip and Big Mack Superstar cannabis seeds. I also purchased an ounce of a verified strain Wedding Crasher from a local grower recently, and the ounce is almost gone but gave me one healthy seed in the entire bag. There's still about 3-6 grams left and I'm hoping to get at least one more seed from it, but since I've only found one out of almost an entire ounce, the odds are not high. I'm grateful for the one anyway and have chosen to germinate it without waiting.

Big Mack Superstar


As we can see these BMS seeds are extremely healthy. They are probably the most healthy seeds I've ever seen and I'm not exaggerating. They look like they are ready to explode and are undoubtedly some beast genetics produced by an expert grower.

This Wedding Crasher seed looks pretty healthy and mature as well, and since it is the only one I have, my fingers are crossed that it will germinate with no problems.

Lemon Drip


Since futuremind likes to prepare for the future, I saved the healthier looking Lemon Drip seeds for the next round. Since I had 0% success with the last germination of Lemon Drip, I'm hopeful these last four seeds will produce at least one or two healthy plants. I feel confident that I will produce good results with the last four.

To say 0% success rate is somewhat inaccurate, because I did get one germination, but since it's looking like a dud and not growing, I'm considering it a failure, even though it germinated. It makes me sad that the first round of Lemon Drips were a failure, but this is how things go sometimes with growing plants.

As I type this, I have these seeds in a 10% hydrogen peroxide soak. I'm going to soak them for about 30 minutes and then move them to the wet paper towels in an enclosed Tupperware container where they should germinate within one to three days.

I've been typing for about a half hour so it's time to remove these seeds from the soak and take some photos for the rest of this post...

Let's move them to the paper towels now...

I raised the BMS seedlings with 3D printed stacking containers and put my homemade humidifier in the tent :)

I have to clean the top of the tent and place something hard on it, with some blankets, because Covid the kitty does not take no for an answer and this is his sleeping spot whether futuremind likes it or not... I don't want to deprive him of his favorite place to sleep, so I will just make it more suitable (and safe) for him, which will make me more comfortable with his defiant persistence to sleep on the tent. Covid always get's what he wants. 😅

That will do it for this indoor cannabis garden update.
What do you ladies and gentlemen think of this germination process and how I manage my tent?
I would love to read your thoughts in the comment section below!

Your time is a valuable commodity, so I always do my best to respond to all of the wonderful engagement that I receive. Your engagement and support means a lot to me and kitty Covid, thank you!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day! -@futuremind

That’s one thing about starting from seed, it is a process! I like to pop at least 4-5 of the same strain so my odds are good. And my miracle Mack came from 1 seed as well, you never know. It could be an unicorn!

Thanks bro, fingers crossed! 🤞

Maybe if it's a success and female I'll try my hand at seeding.

If I can successfully seed it with BMS, I'll call the new strain Mack Crasher ;D

Isn't the crow box too small?
With my 80X80X160 it was already relatively small.
Interesting Varieties.

Greetings from USA, New York!

Actually... yes... This tent is challenging to grow cannabis in and plants must be kept shorter and smaller than I would prefer. Ultimately it makes for much smaller harvests and I've never grown more than about 1 ounce for every harvest in this small tent.

I have a Vivosun 24"x24"x36", which I think is the smallest they make and not very adequate for cannabis cultivation in my opinion. Only for seedlings.

I'm planning to upgrade my grow space and use this small tent for seedlings and a much taller tent for flowering. I might even make my own tent utilizing 3D printed parts.

Thank you kindly for the comment, this is my first time growing known strains! 😊

Looks like Jacob is enjoying it as well

Is that some secret sauce you are using to germinate? Of just plain water?
I am just about DISS close to making the jump myself

Hey Jerry, thank you for stopping by!

Yes I'm enjoying it as well, I love spending time with the cat and plants 😁

Is that some secret sauce you are using to germinate? Of just plain water?

The soak is 10% hydrogen peroxide, 90% plain water.
In the paper towel is just plain water added with a spray bottle for even distribution and to get the desired dampness. I saturated the first time I tried it and the results weren't good, so this time I made them very damp but not saturated.

This method proves to be great for most gardeners with all types of seeds, but it doesn't feel the same as placing the seeds in dirt and excitedly anticipating the sprout to come.

Thank you for the upvote and reblog my friend!

Toda la historia de la germinación me recuerda a los juegos donde tenes recursos limitados y tenes que hacer todo perfecto para lograr tu objetivo.
Tengo una duda, una vez que crecen las plantas ¿Tenes posibilidades de conseguir semillas?

Gracias por las amables palabras mi amigo.

Sí, cómo describe el proceso es exacto.

Si utilizo el polen de las plantas macho, puedo hacer que las hembras produzcan semillas.

Por lo general, los machos serán asesinados.

Para preservar la genética y hacer nueva genética, a veces es necesario el uso de los machos.

Sembrar las plantas hace que la potencia sea más débil.

Por lo tanto, no es un proceso deseable, pero a veces es necesario.

Estoy planeando polinizar si todo va bien.

This is the tough part because we don't have much to do as a grower. Hope you succeed mate with your Lemon Drip this time 💚
