please tell us more about babyfied nine
Ok so the thing is that Nine grew up in a totalitarian metrocity under algorithmic supervision done by giant intimidating hunks of metal that have zero room for negotiation 24/7 instead of a small village who's people were kinda assholes, so he's even more skittish and alert than baby Tails would be
Hes also quiet, like scary quiet like Sonic considered giving him a little jingle bell quiet because he jumpscares people with his sudden presence and dissapearece so much, and also rarely talks. And when he does it's either the most imicitly heart breaking shit imaginable or his cassual sass
I am never going to give him a break so I thinks the sudden change in size of his body and brain development by couple of years and the fact he didnt have his matal tails back then they're kinda awkwardly too big for him and cause some severe nerve issues 👍
Also since this ask took so long to answer because my brain jumped through fifty other things since then, have a little drabble as a compensation :'D
[676 words]
———
He gathered himself from the ground, hand trying to rub off the physical pain of sudden blinding light, and eventually managed to get back to his feet.
The second he felt in control of his senses he whipped around to assess all the damage done by that explosion and immediately noted a worrying lack of one fox in particular.
"Is everyone ok?!" Sonic called out with worry pricking his voice, while still trying to spot anything that vaguely resembled Nine.
"What do you think you rodent. Our magnum opus was blown to smithereens!"
Aaand the hedgehog immediately deadpanned when the starchy voice of Dr.Done It entered his ears he flattened against his head
"...Everyone who didn't try to kill me and I actually care about?"
He got his answers soon enough when the resistance was back at the eggheads' case and he heard a piece of plastic from the Way Back machine clatter to the ground.
"Um, Sonic..?" Tails called out for him but too late as they were both looking in the same direction. And unmistakably, both of them spotted something moving in the rubble near the still smoking remains of the machine.
"Nine?"
At least he hoped it was. There was a possibility that for whatever reason the fox would want to play a smart-ass — since he did try to kill him at one point, and for the love of him doesn't want to accept the fact he's cared about — but even if it's in the past and all that, Sonic needed to go check on him.
Any catastrophic ways in which the fox could've been hurt in a way leaving him physically unable to actually respond running through his head came to a screeching halt once he rounded the corner and stood face to face with a tiny fox kit.
After the millisecond he had to get over just how utterly adorable he was, the hedgehog quickly registered the vwey clear terror displayed on Nine's little face. And he could tell it was Nine if by anything else than the depressing gray attire, a painfully fresh-looking cuts under his eye, and most importantly, the seven mechanical tails laying uselessly around him.
First quickly making sure everyone was too busy with the fight elsewhere, Sonic outstretched his hand to stop Tails in his place when the other it froze like a deer in the headlights and obviously prepared to bolt it out of here. (Through Sonic wasn't sure he could with those metal appendages holding him down. They didn't exactly seem responsive because otherwise he was sure they'd be treatening pointed his way.)
And as taken aback as Tails was, he complied and decided that just discreetly peeking over the metal frame would have to suffice.
"Hey there buddy..."
Sonic tried with a low tone while rising both of his hands in front of him slowly. The last thing he wanted was to apprehend the little guy and scare him even more.
However the way his scared blue eyes jumped all over the place in search of an exit wasn't exactly reassuring against that.
"Don't worry, I don't want to hurt you."
The terrified face was replaced by a deep scorn as Nine pulled himself as far away from the hedgehog as possible. The thing stopping him from going further being the dreadful realization he has seven deadweights of metal stapled to his waist.
"Then what do you want."
Ok, Nine didn't only look tiny, he sounded the part too. The usual cold edge in his voice, which pretty much everyone grew accustomed to at this point, was gone and replaced with a tired rasp.
Sonic's features dropped at that and the the adorable-angry face morphed into confusion because of course it would.
Sonic, like an idiot, wondered why this felt so familiar and just why every single one of his moves was so instinctual when the realization he'd done all of this already hit him.
Well, either way he needs the little guy to trust him now, and Tails can figure out the technical side of how this even happened.

All Eyes Lead to the Truth | Pine Bluff Variant (5x18)
Tumblr media
The tires on August Bremer’s Taurus rub along the curb as the car creeps to a stop. Lamplight beaming from the entryway of Hegal Place shines down on an injured Agent Mulder climbing the steps to his apartment. Mulder winces as he opens the door with his left hand held aloft, the pinky finger bent sideways at a sharp, unnatural angle. 
August shakes his head. Haley’s New Spartans goon is a sadistic piece of work. Finding the perfect moment to remove that asshole can’t come soon enough. 
Flicking the switch on the listening device, August points the red laser at the window of apartment 42, puts his headphones on and listens for the truth. 
“…what you’re talking about,” Agent Mulder says to someone — someone already waiting in his darkened apartment. 
“What happened to your hand?” August knows the soft, concerned voice belongs to Agent Scully, Mulder’s redheaded partner who risked her own life running after him in the park. August saw the fear for her partner drain the pink from her pretty face all the way from the getaway car. 
“Nothing,” Mulder lies. Badly.
“Oh, Mulder, what did they do to you?” she tsks. “God, this needs to be set. You’re in pain.”
“Yeah, if you keep pulling it around like that.” The man’s a smart ass even while doted upon.  
“Let’s get the swelling down.”
Choosing the greenish hued light emanating from Mulder’s apartment to focus on, August ruminates on the reason they’ve all been pulled into this clusterfuck to begin with.
Classified orders to develop a recalled bioweapon in secret were given directly to the army from the US Government. Instructing August to keep evolving the banned toxin, hastening it along. Cultivating a variant of a biological agent to become one of the most deadly bioweapons in the world sure as hell wasn’t August’s idea. But what could he do as a Pine Bluff stationed soldier, eager to use his biochemistry degree? Saying no to the CIA was never an option. So as years passed, August and his team analyzed chemical compositions to carefully create an aerosol version of a flesh-eating streptococcus compound capable of casualties nothing short of devastation. 
And he hates himself for it.
“Why do this to you, Mulder?”
“They’re testing me, too. Haley’s paranoid. Spooked. I was sure he was going to kill me.”
Sending Mulder on the inside with Haley was a risky test he could have easily failed. But that won’t be Mulder’s only test of trustworthiness. August knows Mulder’s involvement in this is a set up — just another pawn for the CIA’s own selfish means. Mulder’s strong opinions on the withholding of governmental secrets is the perfect way to kill two troublesome birds with one bio-weaponized stone. Now, August must be certain Mulder hasn’t flipped sides and become one with the terrorists he’s dutifully warned the bureau about. A final test to pass in order to be saved.
Agent Scully exhales. Her relief that he’s still alive is as loud as her concern. “What stopped him?”
“They still need something from me. And I’m sensing there’s someone Haley trusts even less — the man giving him his orders. Someone I haven’t met yet. A guy named August Bremer.”
Mulder’s right. August had created an alias to go behind the New Spartans’ back by leaking information to the bureau, and Haley will know the truth soon enough. Time is of the essence. If this militia isn’t stopped before the bioweapon spreads, millions may die horrific deaths. 
August just has to kill off the New Spartans without killing himself, too. 
“I hate that they hurt you,” Agent Scully murmurs. “You need to be cautious from here on out.”
“Always am,” Mulder quips, before gasping in pain. “Ouch! Okay, I will be. Scout’s honor.”
She scoffs, “You’re no Boy Scout, Mulder.”
“Yeah, Haley didn’t seem to think so either.”
“Not funny.” August hears the playful lilt in her tone vanish as quick as it came. “Let me get my med kit from your bathroom.”
Only the sounds of footsteps and Mulder’s heavy sighs fill the void until Agent Scully returns. 
“Scully, before, on the tape… You didn’t think I’d really…”
“Betray our country? No, Mulder, I refused to believe that.”
“Betray you.”
Even through the padded earpieces, August hears her breath catch. “Mulder…”
“Because I wouldn’t — I’d never, Scully,” Mulder says adamantly. “Never.”
“I know. I know that, Mulder.” August can imagine her hand reassuringly covering his. “You were doing your job. You didn’t have a choice in keeping it from me.” 
“It doesn’t make it any easier. For either of us.”
“No, I suppose it doesn’t.”
Silence stretches for a long time. Nothing but the crinkle of med-grade wrappers and the burbling of water from what sounds like a fish tank drifts through the headphones. August may be on the outside listening in, but he can practically feel the tension from here.
“Scully…”
“The swelling’s lessened. Luckily it’s a clean break.”
“Hey,” Mulder’s voice is soft, gentle. “Look at me.”
“Hold still while I splint your finger.”
“Scully-”
“This is dangerous, Mulder,” she huffs, her words wavering. “Extremely so. It worries me we’re separated on this.”
“Believe me, Scully, I’m not a fan either.” The clack of the metal finger splint tapping against wood has Agent Scully humming in agreement. “But I’d be lying if I said I’m not relieved you’re nowhere near a man that breaks bones for a living.”
“So who has your back, then? Skinner can only do so much and I’m not sure I trust the CIA agent in charge here.”
“You have my back, Scully. You do, and you’re the only one I trust. Remember?” There’s a smile laced within Mulder’s meaningful plea, and August nods in respect. Only a good man appreciates what keeps him that way. 
“I could hardly forget.”
August clicks off the listening device with a smile of admiration. Some truths are better left unheard.

7/27/23 or 27 July 2023 🌊🦊&⚡🦔
Surge and Kitsunami travel across dimensions, seeking Dr. Jester’s unique guidance about a problem that’s recently been weighing them down. 
A sterile glow from the hallway cast light into the dim scanning room of Dr. Jester’s facility, where two of his henchmen were stationed. Inside the control room on the far side was a desk with several computer monitors. Beyond the glass window to the left of the monitors was the examination room. Dr. Jester sat quietly at the desk, reviewing dozens of images produced by the scanner. He had recommended full-body scans of Surge the Tenrec and Kitsunami the Fennec in order to examine their complex system of cybernetics. The very same cybernetic enhancements developed by the late Dr. Starline.
While he worked, the chaotic duo waited at a table behind him. Surge kicked her feet up while Kit stared at the screens intently. It was a familiar scene for the two cyborgs.
Cybernetics interwoven in the soft tissue... Why? It would've been so much simpler to build androids. Implanting such devices had to have been absurdly complicated, but credit where it's due.
Frankly, the doctor couldn't wrap his mind around the design of these internal supports. It seemed Dr. Starline was just as short-sighted as his idol. Yes, his idol, the Egg Emperor—better known as Dr. Eggman. Once upon a time, Dr. Jester and Eggman, too, worked together as allies. And like Dr. Starline, he longed to have his genius recognized by that man. It took an ambush for him to finally realize that Eggman had no respect for him whatsoever. However, Dr. Jester survived. 
Enough. He steered his mind back to the task at hand. He had a theory that the impracticality of the design was intended, possibly as a tactic to create dependency in the two subjects. It was another way to control them, as he alone had the knowledge to maintain their inferior cybernetic enhancements. Truly diabolical. It was all so amusing.  Once again, he had to praise that platypus.
He glanced at Surge and Kit. The movement alerted the two and they looked at him expectantly. 
"Well? You done?" Surge asked.
She and her companion hopped out of their seats and approached the doctor's chair. He supposed he'd gathered sufficient data. Now it was time to put on a show. Dr. Jester enlarged the scans on the screen and spun his chair around, ready to address them.
"Inside your bodies is an extensive system of cybernetics—"
"Yeah, we know," Surge interrupted, "Could ya maybe skip through the presentation a little, Tin Man?"
Dr. Jester glared at the petulant child, "—I know that you know. Will you let me finish?"
Surge scoffed at him.
"As I was saying, as much as I hate to admit it—it's more complicated than I had anticipated."
Surge and Kit exchanged slightly perturbed glances.
He got up from his chair and walked over to Kit, looking down at him, "Tell me, have you been feeling any pain lately?"
"A-A little. Why?" Kit asked.
"It baffles me how your tiny bodies accepted those cybernetics in the first place," he said, kneeling by Kit. "Unfortunately, there is a problem: your bodies will grow, the implants will not. That discomfort you've been feeling, Kitsunami? You could call it growing pains."
The doctor instructed Kit to remove his glove so he could examine his hand, to which Kit obeyed. Dr. Jester palpated his wrist with his fingers. The boy flinched as the robotic hedgehog felt the metal wiring. Once he finished, he slipped the glove back on.
"Every single piece of these implants will have to be replaced eventually, perhaps sooner for the little one. They were not designed to accommodate growth. You two will have to endure multiple surgeries until adulthood. And, if you survive that long, the cybernetics will still have to be replaced periodically."
His nonchalant tone did not match his worrying statements.
"Well, you're smart, aren't you?" she retorted. "Can't you design new ones? Ones that won't need replacing?"
"Growth-accommodating cybernetic implants do not rule out the need for surgeries; they only lessen them. Alternatively, we could try a single operation. Yes, I could extract the cybernetics entirely and—"
"But, then we'd lose all of our abilities,” Kit voiced his concerns. “What if we don't survive?"
"Yeah," Surge's brows furrowed, "we're not doing that."
"Ha! If you’re concerned about survival, then roboticization will save you from all that pain. Believe me, it's the best, long-term solution. Dr. Starline may have known how to maintain your enhancements and keep you alive, but, hm... He's gone, isn't he?"
That name. Just the mention of it left her shaking. She hated how it cut into her psyche. Surge gritted her teeth and clenched her fists at her sides. No matter what, that man just wouldn't stay dead. Her body and eyes sparked with electricity. Kit took a few steps back and rose into the air using his hydro coils. His eyes glowed red, perhaps as a warning.
"That's the best solution?! You, turning us into one of your machines?! Forget it!"
Surge and Kit moved to the doorway but were blocked by Dr. Jester’s robots, Saturn and Genesis. They took a step back, squaring up for a fight. Dr. Jester chuckled.
"Here's the thing, children: like any creator, Dr. Starline survives through his creations. Yes, through you, he lives on. I'll unmake you and see to it that his legacy—his loathsome existence—is erased! Either I rip that frame out of you, or I fully mechanize you!"
Suddenly, Surge screamed and, in a quick flash, lunged at Dr. Jester. She threw him off balance with an electrically charged punch. He stopped the following swing by grabbing her arm and absorbing some of her power. His teal and magenta quills lit up—the electricity gave him a boost!
"I'm no pushover, you know!" He shouted, slamming her down.
She gasped, "Kit!!"
Kit attacked Dr. Jester with a powerful blast of water. His metal body collided with the multi-monitor setup, shattering some of his fancy monitors in the impact. He tumbled off the desk. Thanks to Kit’s assistance, Surge was able to regain her footing.
"What are you two deadbolts doing?!" the drenched doctor screeched at the robots frozen at the door. "Neutralize them!"
Genesis squawked apologetically. Saturn approached slowly, kicking chairs to the side and flipping the table. Dr. Jester complained about the wanton destruction of his furniture and equipment. Surge and Kit turned to face the approaching robots. 
"Hey, Drippy," she called, "Let's hit ��em with the classic combo: you submerge 'em, and I'll zap 'em!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Kit then conjured a sphere of water to cage the two mechanical monstrosities, leaving them vulnerable to Surge's subsequent bolt of lightning. It successfully incapacitated the roadrunner but Saturn was able to resist the shock as Dr. Jester did.
The doctor stomped his feet, calling Genesis useless repeatedly. Saturn turned his attention to the boy. He fired a beam from his mouth. It scorched his abdomen and he fell to the floor.
"Hey! Don't you dare ignore me!" Shrouded in electricity, Surge bounced wall to wall, smashing into Saturn each time. Saturn shielded his face with his arms. Once her attack stopped, he forced her back with a single palm thrust. She fell back to check on Kit.
"C'mon, kid! I need you," she said before jumping back into the fight.
Kit clutched his stomach and whimpered. His body screamed at him to return to Surge and support her in the fight. He opted to use his hydro coils to lift himself off the ground. His knees trembled, but he was standing. He'd recover. Go to Surge! Support Surge!
Surge shocked Saturn, and went at him with spinning kicks, but he didn't seem to slow down.
He turned his attention to Dr. Jester. Perhaps he could distract the echidna by targeting him. It worked on Metal Sonic. There was a good chance this robot would protect his master, too. Kit wrapped Dr. Jester's limbs using small bands of water. Saturn's head rotated 180 degrees, followed by the rest of his body, at the sound of Dr. Jester's yelp.
Surge grinned. It was an excellent opportunity. She bumped her sparking knuckles, touched them to Saturn's back and released a massive discharge. He powered off, his body smoking from the voltage. Kit proceeded to swing Dr. Jester around and sent him flying toward Saturn at high speed. They crashed into the wall.
Surge wiped her forehead and gave a wink and a thumbs up to Kit. He sighed in relief, returning to her side. They had won this fight.  Kit cautioned Surge about the two of them lingering for too long, in case something else happened. Surge laughed thunderously, and they headed out.
"You won't last long in your condition," Dr. Jester warned them at the threshold. He was pinned against the wall, tangled in the sleeping Saturn’s limbs. "As machines, you would persist.”
"Oh, shut up! You don't know what's best for us, old man. Sure, these enhancements are a curse, but we're nothing without them. The kid and I will figure it out on our own—like we always have."
Dr. Jester laughed incredulously, "Then, why did you come to me for help?"
They left his question unanswered. Surge made sure to stomp on the bionic roadrunner on the way out. 
Dr. Jester sighed and smiled, caressing Saturn’s arm, “I won’t rest until there’s not a single trace of him left in that world…” 
🏭🌆
Surge and Kit casually exited from a back entrance of Dr. Jester's lab. The struggle against the doctor left them battered, though the damage was only superficial. Surge's clothes were torn, but her body had nearly fully recovered from the fight. Naturally, it was the same for Kit.
"Well, that wasn't the worst thing ever," Surge said as she adjusted her rings.
"Surge? I think... I think he was telling the truth—a-about the cybernetics, I mean."
"Yeah," she huffed, "I've been feeling it, too. Like, a dull pain all around my body, especially around my eyes... Feels like I'm being crushed from the inside."
Kit gasped, "No! W-We have to get you help right away!"
"From where, exactly?" Surge rubbed her forehead. "Hey, your plan from before—what was it?"
"Oh! Uh," he trailed off, "you won't... like it."
She snapped her fingers and demanded he look up and answer her. Tiny sparks flew from her hand.
"We could ask, um... Tails?" he squeaked and covered his face with his ears.
Surge let out a needlessly long groan. Kit apologized profusely. 
"Fine. We'll go with your plan."
"Huh? Really?!"
"Sure, whatever. Not like we got any other options."
Kit smiled tearfully, "Okay!"
"So, where's the nearest warp-thingy?" Surge asked, stretching her body for a run.
"The checkpoint?" Kit scanned the horizon and pointed north. "That way. There's another stage not far from here."
"Perfect! Good on you for being so mindful of your surroundings!" She ruffled his hair.
He giggled.
"Let's go get our second opinion," she said, crouching with her gloved hands touching the pavement. "Try to keep up, Drippy! We're off!"
"Yes, ma'am!" Kit brought his arms closer to his chest and readied his water pack.
Surge disappeared in a flash, electricity crackling in the spot where she had been standing. Kit gleefully took off running—arms outstretched—at an equally impressive speed, propelled by a powerful stream of water. Under the polluted sky, two streaks of light and water disappeared over the barren hills.

How to germinate cannabis seeds
#cannabis #weed #marihuana #hemp #THC #CBD #pot #herb #stoner #ganja #MaryJane #HighLife
Tumblr media
The seed knows as soon as it gets wet, it's time to open. Using clean water is crucial for the first moments of its life, as the seedling is very fragile and delicate.
There are several ways you can germinate cannabis seeds. However, some of these methods are a bit risky, which is why we recommend taking an alternative route. In this guide, we will explain our preferred method for germinating seeds before moving on to some of the less reliable methods. We will also take a closer look at the process of transplanting freshly germinated seeds.
Recommendation: Germinate cannabis seeds directly in the medium.
For some reason, cannabis growers tend to make germinating seeds unnecessarily complicated and also somewhat risky. You may have heard of germinating seeds between damp paper towels or tossing them into a glass of water - we'll cover all of these methods below. However, we believe that the easiest and best way to get cannabis seeds to germinate is to germinate them directly in the growing medium.
Simply place the seed about 0.5cm deep in the soil and cover it lightly. Keep an eye on the environment and keep it warm and moist - 20°C is the ideal temperature. Keep the soil moist, but don't soak it - soggy soil can do more harm than good. You can place a light above the seeds to ensure the right temperature for germination. Your precious cannabis seeds will sprout happily within a few days!
Take note that your seeds don't need nutrients, at least not for the first two weeks of growth. Novice growers often make the mistake of assuming that adding nutrients would help in this early growth phase. DON'T DO THAT! The seed contains everything it needs to grow in the first few weeks. Additional nutrients risk burning out the seedling before it even has a chance to grow properly. Simply adding water to your seedling will help it develop strong roots. You can use root stimulator if you really want to, although it is absolutely not required.
We have found that germinating directly in the medium is not only the easiest and most reliable way; it is also the safest method for your seeds. Other techniques require you to transfer your recently germinated seeds into a pot. In doing so, you run the risk of damaging the delicate taproots. Other methods, in turn, encourage seed rot. In addition, we have not found any real advantages to using these methods over germination directly in the medium.
Use germination kits to give your seeds a head start
To make germinating your cannabis seeds even easier, we recommend using a germination kit like Zamnesia Smart Start or the Plagron Seedbox. These kits contain everything you need to give your seeds the best possible start.
Smart Start from Zamnesia comes with 20 small pots already filled with compost. In addition, Smart Start contains a special stimulator mix that promotes germination by activating the microbiological life in your soil. All you have to do is moisten the Smart Start pots with water in which you have previously dissolved the stimulator mix. Then place one seed in each pot and cover it with soil. Put the tray in a place with room temperature and make sure the soil stays moist (don't overwater!). Your seeds will germinate after a few days. It is recommended to use the Smart-Start kit together with a propagator to create an ideal environment for seedling development.
The Plagron Seedbox germination set consists of a tray with 12 seed pellets and a snug-fitting transparent lid. It's like a small greenhouse, so it's the perfect environment for your seeds to sprout! The Plagron Seedbox also includes a bottle of Plagron Seedbooster, so you can give your cannabis plants an excellent head start. Moisten the tray with the seed pellets with water and the seed booster. Wait about five minutes for the water to be absorbed. Then place your seeds in the holes and the lid on the tray. Place it in a room with 20-24°C, and your seeds will germinate in a period of 1-5 days.
Other less reliable methods
Apart from germinating your cannabis seeds directly in your growing medium, there are other methods, but less reliable ones.
Paper towel method
Our first germination method on the list of not-so-reliable alternatives is the popular "paper towel method". This involves placing the seeds between damp paper towels. Then place the paper towels with the seeds between two plates (or in another suitable container such as a lunch box) to avoid excessive exposure to light, and store them in a warm and dark place. Check the paper towels occasionally; if they are dry, give them a few squirts of water. Your seeds should germinate after a few days.
We do not recommend this method for the following reason: you will have to handle your germinated seeds excessively when transferring them from the paper towels to their first growing container. This is far from optimal for the delicate taproots. Problems can easily arise (like roots sticking to the paper) that put your seeds at risk of damage. Also, the paper can get too wet, possibly causing your seeds to suffocate or rot.
Water glass
Another popular germination method is to drop your seeds into a jar of water. This seems like a no-brainer, as you just put your beans in the water and wait for taproots to appear.
As with the paper towel method, the main problem with this approach is that it is quite simply unnecessary. Between the excessive contact with water and the contact during transplanting, there is once again the risk of suffocating or damaging your seeds. That being said, some growers use this method to more quickly determine if their seeds are viable. However, if you can be sure of the quality of your seeds because you have obtained them from a reputable seed bank, it is usually not necessary to go this route.
Rockwool
Germination in rockwool is basically a good way to get your seeds started, although it is more laborious than other methods. You place your seeds in rockwool blocks and then place the moistened blocks in a tray or propagator while you wait for your seeds to sprout.
Tumblr media
Unlike other methods, rockwool protects the young seedlings, so you can safely transplant them into larger pots. On the other hand, rockwool needs to be soaked in water with a low pH before you can put the seeds in it. Moreover, the blocks can dry out very quickly, so we recommend this method only to experienced growers.
Peat (peat pellets)
Germinating in peat pellets (jiffy pots) is actually a pretty decent way to get your seeds started. These pellets are in the shape of a large pill; moisten them and they will grow into a larger shape held together by a mesh that later dissolves. Poke holes in the peat from the top and place your seeds inside.
After our preferred method of direct germination in a medium, we think peat pellets are the second best germination method.
What we don't like about peat pellets is that the netting that holds the pellets in place doesn't always reliably dissolve when you transfer them to a larger pot. In this case, the net can trap the roots of your plants, preventing them from spreading. For this reason, it is recommended to remove the net before transplanting, but this may damage the delicate roots of your seedlings.
Coffee filters
Germination with coffee filters is essentially the same as the paper towel method. You place your seeds between two or more sheets of coffee filters, wet the sheets, and then place them in a bag or container that you seal.
Like the paper towel method, we cannot recommend this unnecessarily complicated method. It's not worth taking the risk of damaging your seeds when you transplant them with tweezers or rotting them in the filter.
How to get old cannabis seeds to germinate
There is nothing more frustrating than trying to get your cannabis seeds to germinate, only to find that they have become too old. Fortunately, all is not lost and it doesn't necessarily mean the end for the seeds. With the following techniques, the vast majority of old seeds can be saved.
The problem with old seeds is not in itself that they are too old, but that their ability to absorb water through their hull has declined as it has hardened with age - which also makes it very difficult for them to break through the hull. To overcome the problem of old seeds not germinating, you must overcome the problem of poor absorption - there is still life in your seeds! The process we will explain here is called scarification.
Scarify your seeds
As the term implies, the process of scarification involves scratching or removing part of the hull, so the first thing you need is something to scrape up the hull of your seeds. To accomplish this, sandpaper a matchbox, put your seeds in it and shake it for 30-60 seconds. This will cause small abrasions on the seed surface, making it much easier for them to absorb water.
Hopefully this will be all you need to do in terms of scarification, but if need be, there are two other steps you can take. The first of these two steps is to remove the burr around the seed. Look at the edges of the cannabis seed. Look for the seam that runs all around the shell where it holds together, with one side more pronounced than the other. This pronounced ridge can make it much harder for the seed to crack the shell, but can be easily removed:
Take your seed between your thumb and forefinger and cut along this ridge at a 90 degree angle with a sharp knife. The removed ridge will expose the inner. Carefully twist the seed around and remove the ridge on the other end of the seed so that it falls off completely. Now that this is done, you should be able to germinate your seeds normally.
If they still don't germinate, they're probably gone, but as a last resort, you can tear off one side of the shell to open up the seed a bit. This makes it much, much easier for water to be absorbed, but also exposes the seed to possible damage. It's a last-ditch attempt to save a seed that would otherwise be discarded - normally you should never do this.
It should also be mentioned that these techniques of scarification are somewhat difficult to do properly, and you should only attempt it if you are certain that the seeds will not germinate otherwise. All healthy, viable seeds should germinate happily without the need for any of these measures.
Getting your scarified and scratched seeds to germinate.
With your seeds prepared, you can turn your attention to germination. There are a few ways to germinate old cannabis seeds, all of which are effective in their own right. However, before we get to that, there is one more optional thing you can do to increase the chances of germination and that is by preparing the water.
Water preparation (optional)
There are two ways you can improve the water for germination of old seeds. First, you can use slightly carbonated water. The CO2 will help the water to be absorbed by the hard scarified seeds. Second, you can also add a bit of fulvic acid to the water, something like 10ml to 1 liter of water. Fulvic acid helps plants absorb and can lead to healthy growth. Alternatively, you can try a liquid germination accelerator, which is basically a nutrient blend that is ideal for germinating seeds. Although the main obstacle with old seeds is always getting water into them, a few balanced nutrients can't hurt to get them started.
Germination in the soil
Our favorite method - germination in soil harnesses the power of Mother Nature and thus the life of the seed begins as it should.
First, place your seeds in a bowl of water at room temperature. Put a piece of cardboard over the bowl and place it in a dark cupboard overnight (12 hours). Once this is done, fill a small pot with soil for each seed - sprouting in soil is best, as it contains the right amount of nutrients to get your little beauties started. Moisten the soil with water and then make a small hole in the center. It should be 3-5 mm deep. Stick the seed in with the point facing down and then cover it carefully with soil. Place the pot in a dark, warm room for 6 hours and then under a lamp. Within a few days you should see a shoot forming.
Note: Soaking seeds for 12 hours is usually only done with old, hard seeds. For most normal seeds you can skip this step.
Transplanting germinated cannabis seeds
If you start your seeds with our recommended germination method (directly in the medium), you may need to transplant your seedlings.
This will promote healthy plant growth, make watering and fertilizing easier, and ultimately benefit your yield. If your seedling is too long and scrawny and fragile to transplant, you can cover it with more soil to stabilize and strengthen it in its new pot.
Now that you know how to germinate cannabis seeds, it's time to move on to the full seedling stage and everything that follows!
All About Cannabis Seedlings
Once your cannabis seeds have germinated, you're dealing with cannabis seedlings. The seedling stage is the earliest stage of plant growth and is defined by an initial phase of root, stem and leaf development. Many growers report that their lives were forever changed when they saw the first green sprout poking out of the ground.
Whether or not this is the case for you, proper cannabis seedling care is crucial for healthy plants and a bountiful harvest. Learn what you need to know to optimize the health and development of your seedlings here.
What are cannabis seedlings?
Cannabis seedlings are cannabis plants in their first stage of development. They are the equivalent of a newborn baby on its way to becoming a toddler. Cannabis seedlings are just as fragile and in need of care as their human counterparts!
Once a seed splits open and the first pair of leaves (cotyledons) emerge, it is a cannabis seedling. Soon it will shed its seed coat and sprout its taproot into the soil (or other growing medium). This taproot will develop into a refined and extensive root system that the plant will use to absorb water and nutrients.
If a seedling gets off to a good start in life, chances are good that it will develop into a productive and potent cannabis plant - much higher than a seedling that has to fight for sheer survival. For this reason, understanding cannabis plants in the seedling stage is critical to ensuring a good harvest.
What are the requirements for healthy seedlings?
So how do you grow a healthy cannabis seedling? Fortunately, it's not that complicated. Despite the comparison to human babies, cannabis seedlings are actually far more capable of taking care of themselves. Nonetheless, they need a suitable environment in which to do so.
The right container
You can easily give your seedlings a good start by placing them in suitable containers from the very beginning. Seedling containers should:
Be small, so they don't take up too much water
Possibly have a cover (like a grow room) to maintain high humidity (this is also good for germination)
Have holes in the soil for good drainage
Note: If you are growing autoflowering cannabis seeds, it may be worth leaving them to germinate in their final containers, as damage to the roots that occurs during repotting can be difficult to reverse.
The right growing medium
The root system of seedlings is delicate and as such requires a growing medium/substrate that is well-suited to them in order to thrive. In most cases, high quality potting soil is well suited as the "home" of cannabis seedlings. It should already contain enough nutrients to last for at least a few weeks, so you won't need to fertilize your plants until they've moved into the growing phase, or perhaps even later.
No matter which growing medium you choose, there are some important points to keep in mind:
It should not be too dense, as young roots need room to grow.
It should hold enough water so that it stays moist, but not so much that the roots drown.
If you are using an inert substrate, you will need to provide it with nutrients. Be very careful, though, because seedlings are especially susceptible to overfertilization.
Proper watering
Seedlings do not like to be soggy or dried out. Watering cannabis seedlings is a tricky task and it pays to be conservative. They may not need watering at all, depending on how you grow them.
Carefully stick a finger into the soil; is it bone dry? Alternatively, just lift the pots; are they surprisingly light? If the soil is completely dry, you will need to add some water. To do this, use a sprayer or an attachment like a showerhead to prevent tipping over your seedlings or disturbing the growth of their roots. Water just a little - seedlings don't need much.
Other considerations include:
pH: Good soil should already have the right pH, so you may not need to adjust your water. Note, however, that tap water usually has a pH of 7.0 or higher, while cannabis growing in soil prefers a pH of 6.0-7.0. So, if your water is above 7.0, you should consider lowering the pH a bit with a "pH-down solution". You can use special products that are easily available on the internet or in garden centers, or you can make your own solution with the natural acid of lemons.
Do not add fertilizer!
Do not water if you want to repot your plants soon.
High quality lighting
A cannabis plant will probably spend most of its life under HPS or LED lights (if you use artificial lights). Seedlings, however, do best under CFL lights. These emit light at the blue end of the spectrum, which is best for young plants because it stimulates root development and simulates the light of spring. A lighting period of 18 hours a day is suitable for seedlings. However, make sure the light is not too intense or strong. Seedlings don't like it when you burn them!
If you are growing outdoors, it depends on your climate and location where you should germinate your seeds and house your seedlings. If you are growing in a warmer, southern European country or germinating seeds later in the spring, you can plant your seedlings right outdoors. On the other hand, if you live in a cooler area or germinate the seeds early, you can place your seedlings on a windowsill or use CFL lights first. Be aware that your windowsill seedlings may go bad in search of more light.
Cannabis seedlings: FAQ
🐌 Why are my cannabis seedlings growing so slowly?
There are many reasons why a plant grows slowly. These include: too little light, over-watering, over-fertilizing, low quality seeds, incorrect pH, and stress from pathogens.
💡 How can I prevent my seedlings from falling over?
Seedlings tend to fall over for two reasons. First, they will stretch upward if they do not get enough light and consequently may fall over. Second, if the seedlings are exposed to insufficient air circulation, the stems will be weak and unable to support proper growth. So, to prevent your seedlings from falling over, you should provide them with enough light and blow lightly on the stems with a fan.
Should I fertilize cannabis seedlings?
Not, as long as you use high quality soil. If you are using inert media in a hydro setup, you will need to add fertilizer to the water, but only in small amounts.
How deep should I plant my cannabis seedlings?
Dig a hole about a knuckle deep, place your seedling in it, cover its base with soil and press it down lightly. Add a little water (not too much) to help your seedling get used to its new home.
When to repot cannabis seedlings
For photoperiod plants, you tend to repot the seedlings after about 10 days. At this point, the plant should have at least three true pairs of leaves.
As mentioned earlier, autoflowering cannabis does not like to be repotted at all. This is because the plants automatically move into the flowering phase very quickly, which means that the roots don't have time to recover from any damage that occurs during the repotting process. It is best to let autoflowering seeds germinate in their final pots.
Caring for cannabis seedlings: A simple pleasure
Caring for cannabis seedlings isn't too complex, but it has big implications. Plants that you give a good start in life will have a much easier time developing properly, which ultimately means a better harvest yield!
Germinate Seeds With Smart Start
Give your cannabis seedlings a great start in life! The Zamnesia Smart Start is the most optimal and safest way to get your cannabis seeds to germinate. Our video clip and simple instructions teach you how to use the Smart Start to germinate your cannabis seeds without stress and worry.
The life of a cannabis plant begins with the germination of the seed. In the first few days, it is very important to give the seedling the best possible start in life so that it can develop into a thriving organism. The easiest and most practical method for controlling the entire environment at this stage is to use Smart Start - designed for optimal germination. Use it in combination with a Propagator Pro 2 for really great results.
First, you'll need a few more things to use Smart Start: some perlite and a propagator. The Propagator Pro 2 would be a perfect choice. This is a propagator specifically optimized for cannabis seed germination and it already contains some perlite, so you don't have to get it yourself.
You'll also need something to poke holes in the soil (like a screwdriver), a liter of room temperature water, and some tape.
Instructions
First prepare the nutrient mix. Pour about 120ml of water into a shallow bowl that should be slightly larger than the Smart Start itself. Add the nutrient mix and stir until it dissolves.
Place your Smart Start in the solution for 5 minutes.
While you wait, you might as well set up the propagator if you have one. Place a thin layer of perlite on the bottom of the tray of your propagator.
After 5 minutes, the pots will have soaked up as much of the nutrient solution as they need. Take the Smart Start out of the solution.
Place the Smart Start on top of the perlite in the propagator.
Now it's time to put the seeds in the soil. Put one seed in each pre-made hole in each of your pots.
CAUTION: They should be no more than 1-2mm deep; if they are stuck deeper, they could suffocate. Do not cover the seeds with soil; you should still be able to see the seeds.
All you have to do now is wait. It should be 1-8 days before you see the seedling sprout through the soil. Don't get impatient trying to catch a glimpse - that could do more harm than good. Just let nature take its course.
Throughout this period, make sure the perlite in the propagator stays moist - without ever getting too wet or dry.
When your seedlings finally emerge, some may still have the seed case stuck on them. Unless you are very experienced, leave it on. It will fall off naturally and trying to remove it yourself could harm the cannabis at this very vulnerable stage of its life.
Keep the conditions in your propagator constant until each of your seedlings is 2-3cm tall.
Now carefully remove each seedling from the Smart Start pot, keeping the compost ball intact and taking special care not to damage the roots or sapling.
Plant the seedling with the compost directly into your growing medium.
It's done: you have successfully germinated your cannabis seeds with the Smart Start and a propagator, giving them a strong and healthy start in life.
Troubleshooting Cannabis Germination
Here we provide numerous tips for avoiding problems during the germination and seedling stages of your cannabis cultivation. If your seeds aren't germinating or your seedlings are having growth problems, you'll probably find the reason for your problem and the solution in this guide!
Before you can take care of your cannabis plants, you must first get them to germinate! Germinating cannabis seeds can be a pretty tricky process, as can caring for the freshly germinated seedlings. In this article, we'll cover the most common problems growers face during the germination and seedling stages, and their respective solutions.
Common problems encountered during cannabis germination.
Throughout the growing process, but especially in the early stages, a careful and accurate approach makes success much more likely. Seeds and seedlings are vulnerable and can easily die or stunt, or even fail to germinate at all.
Below, we'll address each possible problem that can occur in the early stages of your grow and show you how to remedy the situation.
Cannabis seeds do not germinate (Day 0)
If your seeds don't germinate at all, it could be due to one of the following reasons.
Inferior seeds
Maybe you found some seeds in a bag of weed and thought you could try growing them, or maybe you bought them somewhere super cheap. It could even be that you got seeds from a great grower, but unfortunately they are duds. Either way, inferior seeds have a much lower chance of germinating or producing viable plants.
Solution:
Get yourself some good seeds! This need not be too difficult. Really good growers do rigorous germination rate and quality testing, so the vast majority of seeds should be healthy and germinable. Of course, there will always be exceptions, but if you buy from a good breeder or seed bank, the chances of successful germination increase significantly.
Handle seeds with bare hands
Hands can carry all sorts of pathogens like bacteria and fungal spores that can contaminate seeds and seedlings. At this early stage, they are very susceptible to infection, so it's best to avoid direct contact!
Solution:
Be hygienic! If you want to be properly sterile, wear latex gloves or use sterilized tweezers to handle your cannabis seeds. If you don't want to do that, at least wash your hands thoroughly before handling your cannabis seeds or seedlings.
Water quality
Depending on where you live, tap water could be full of compounds that can inhibit the germination of your seeds. Chemicals like chlorine can be very harmful to seeds and young cannabis plants. Later in a plant's life, tap water is much safer - although it's worth finding out the mineral content so you can fertilize them properly.
Solution:
Use purified or bottled water. It may seem excessive, but they are still young and this is a crucial stage in their little lives - so give them what they need and they will reward you later!
Seeds not planted deep enough
If seeds aren't planted deep enough, they won't have enough moisture and can dry out. Moisture is what triggers the seedling to break through the seed coat, so this is really important.
Solution:
It is generally recommended to let the seeds germinate about a knuckle (0.5-1cm) deep in the soil. This is the optimal depth for them. In addition, germination in grow chambers will maintain a high and appropriate humidity range (about 70% RH or more), which will increase moisture content and the likelihood of germination.
Low temperatures
In nature, cannabis seeds germinate in the spring when temperatures rise. If it is too cold, they will not germinate. Also, certain pathogens thrive in cool temperatures, so even if the seeds germinate, the seedlings might not develop as well.
Solution:
Keep them warm! If you're growing indoors, this shouldn't be too hard. A growing chamber in a comfortably warm room should be enough. Even if you want to grow outdoors, you can still germinate your cannabis seeds indoors to give them the best start and protect them from sudden cold snaps. If you want to do the whole process outdoors, you should wait until you are sure that the nights will be mild and the days warmer, otherwise you risk really unsatisfactory results.
Too firm soil
If you compact the soil over your seeds too tightly or simply bury them too deeply, it can be a real problem. First of all, a freshly germinated seed is (unsurprisingly) not the strongest living thing on the planet. In fact, it's incredible how strong new sprouts actually are. But if you bury them too deep, they won't have the strength to push themselves out of the ground. Also, if the soil is too compacted or they are buried too deep, they may suffer from a lack of oxygen, which will fully stunt their development.
Solution:
As mentioned earlier, you should bury the plants only a finger's knuckle deep in the soil, covering them lightly and pressing down only very gently. The soil cover does not need to be compact.
Underwatering
As already mentioned, the seeds need moisture to germinate. If you don't provide them with enough water, they won't germinate.
Solution:
You don't have to soak the soil by any means, but you should keep it fairly moist. If you are growing in a grow room, you can spray the inside with water to help with humidity and moisture.
Low humidity
If the humidity is too low, your seeds may not germinate. Humidity is one of the most important conditions for cannabis seeds to germinate, so it's crucial that your germination setup doesn't dry out.
There are two main reasons why the humidity might be too low. First, it might be too cold. Second, there might not be enough moisture in the soil.
Solution:
Water sufficiently and keep the ambient temperature warm enough (at least 21°C). You can keep the humidity high and trap some heat with a grow chamber. These chambers are specifically designed for seed germination, so give them a try!
Cannabis seeds have germinated, but have not grown any further (day 1-7).
Your seeds may germinate, but then suddenly stop growing. What is going on? This can be caused by several things, and you need to identify them quickly and take action so your seedlings don't die.
Fungal or bacterial infection
For example, if you touched your cannabis seeds with dirty hands, they could become infected with fungus or bacteria. For freshly germinated seedlings, a mild infection can be enough to consume all their energy and stop their development.
Solution:
In this case, better safe than sorry. Handle seeds gently when planting and touch your seedlings as little as possible. To prevent fungal infection in the germination substrate, keep the humidity and temperature in an ideal range and the environment clean. Once an infection has taken hold at this stage, there is little you can do to stop it.
Overwatering
As much as plants need water, there is such a thing as too much. Overzealous watering is easy to fall victim to, and it's very dangerous for seedlings. It can deprive their roots of oxygen and cause them to rot, which can be disastrous at this stage.
The same is true for seeds! Soaking seeds is generally not recommended. Even though some growers germinate their cannabis seeds in a glass of water, it is usually advised not to leave them in water for more than 24 to 36 hours.
Solution:
First and foremost, curb your watering urge and use restraint. Again, a spray bottle is your friend here. Seeds and young cannabis plants do need a lot of moisture, but there's no need to drench them! If you think you've watered your seedlings too much, it may be best to take them out of the ground and try to dry out their roots. Then transplant them into slightly drier soil.
Too high temperatures
Just like with water, too much heat is a bad thing. Like all other living things, cannabis plants have an optimal temperature range (around 20-30°C), outside of which they have a hard time growing.
Solution:
If you're germinating in a chamber, it might be worth investing in a thermo/hygrometer so you always know what temperature and humidity your seeds are exposed to and can adjust accordingly.
Weak or stretched seedlings (day 7+).
As seedlings grow, problems can still occur. Fortunately, the older they get, the tougher they become and the easier it is to fix problems. If you find that your seedlings are growing very tall and spindly and/or falling over, look for the following problems.
Too little light
If your plants don't perceive enough light, they will shoot upward and try to break through the perceived canopy of other plants and seek the sun.
Solution:
The first thing you should do is check the distance between your young plants and the light source. It might be worth reducing the lighting a bit, as this could actually help keep the size of the seedlings in check. Also, cannabis plants prefer certain types of light at specific stages of growth. Seedlings especially like light from the blue spectrum, as this stimulates healthy root growth and promotes development.
The problem could also be that the light is simply not strong enough when your young plants enter the actual growing stage. Although seedlings usually do best under cool compact fluorescent lights, growing plants might call for something stronger as they age, such as LED or MH lights.
Incorrect pot size
If your seedlings are in cramped pots, their roots won't be able to support the plant growing above ground, which will make them weak. If you let them suffer, your plant may well not make it to maturity.
Solution:
Transplant to larger pots. Realistically, a cannabis plant needs about 10 liters to mature - sometimes much more. Transplanting sooner instead of later is much easier because a large root ball brings some potential problems. Once your cannabis seedlings have formed three or four pairs of leaves, you can transplant them into their next or last pots and they should be happy!
Why aren't my cannabis seeds germinating?
The above points don't cover everything, but among them you'll probably find the reason for your problems. While cannabis plants are amazingly tough, the same is not true for seeds and seedlings. You need to treat them with care and be aware that problems at these stages can often be their downfall - so avoid them!
The growing phase in cannabis cultivation
The vegetative phase in the life cycle of a cannabis plant is extremely crucial, as the plants use it to best prepare for the flowering phase. There are numerous factors to consider when caring for your plants during this phase, including the lighting cycle, watering, nutrients, and more, so every grower should have a clear idea of how he or she will respond to the plant's needs in a way that allows it to thrive. Use the following introduction to learn the intricacies of the vegetative phase in the cannabis plant's life cycle.
The growing phase, also known as the vegetative phase, begins the moment the seedling becomes visible on the surface of the soil and lasts until the flowering phase begins. During the vegetative phase, cannabis plants develop from tiny seedlings to powerful plants. Fan leaves develop, absorbing light for photosynthesis, which is how the plant generates the energy it needs.
The stem grows thicker, supporting the structure of the plant and also protecting it in a windy environment. Different varieties develop different growth characteristics as they grow. Some plants produce a thick stem, while others are thinner. Plants of some varieties, such as autoflowering varieties, grow quite small and reach a height of about 30-100cm.
However, sativa-dominant photoperiod varieties can grow up to 400cm tall. Depending on the genetics of the plant, the number, shape and size of the leaves can vary. Indica varieties, for example, developed in the harsh conditions between the mountains of the Hindu Kush region and a desert-like climate. As a result, their plants developed wide and large leaves as a defense mechanism to store water and protect their flowers from the hot sun. Sativa varieties produce plants with thinner leaves to provide sufficient respiration in the tropical and humid climate zone from which they originated. Below, we take a look at the basics for a robust and strong growing season for cannabis plants.
Basics and logistics
The growing phase should be considered a foundation upon which our beloved flowers can develop. When plants become large, strong, healthy and resilient, they give their flowers the opportunity to maximize their potential and quality. The growth phase can be adapted to the environment for logistical reasons. Branches can be bent and tied to cope with the conditions of a small growing space.
In the open
First, let's look at the basics of growing cannabis plants outdoors. For this, you should choose a suitable strain for the particular climate zone in which you want to grow the plants. As a rule, sativa-dominant strains grow better in a tropical climate zone, while indica-dominant plants are more comfortable in a dry and hot environment. As a guideline for choosing the right cannabis strain, you can use Köppen's climate classification. Outdoors, plants also have to deal with a number of insects. Varieties that are resistant to pests are ideal in this regard. Varieties that produce plants with lots of trichomes are especially good because they help control the temperature of the plants and the terpenes act as a repellent against insects and pests. If necessary, organic insecticides can also be used during the growing season.
Depending on the size of the plant, branch support may be required. Some sativa-dominant varieties develop into true trees during growth. Although there is no spatial limitation to worry about in this case outdoors, the branches can break under their own weight if the plants grow too large. From there, it can be a good idea to tie the branches. Also, topping techniques can be used, resulting in bushier and more stable plants.
In the growing room
In most growing rooms, plants have limited space available during the growing season. When growing indoors, growers therefore often resort to indica or autoflowering varieties, as these develop relatively small plants. Plants with typical sativa characteristics are difficult to grow because they spread out in the grow room like the plants from the movie Jumanji. After being sent into flower, plants of sativa strains can increase threefold in height. In order to control height during growth in a grow room, growers use SOG and ScrOG techniques to direct the growth of the plants in a specific direction. These techniques are more for advanced growers. Before inexperienced hemp farmers engage in these techniques, experience should be gained through a few harvests first.
Duration of the growth phase and light cycle
Outdoor growth
Outdoors, one must start the growing phase within the given time frame. If you want to grow cannabis plants for 5 months, they should be planted 5 months before the beginning of autumn, because at this time photoperiod strains start to flower.
For example, if autumn begins in August and you want to grow the plants for 5 months, the seeds should be sown in March. The length of the growing season depends largely on the variety and one's preferences. If growers want to have really big plants, they keep them in the growing phase for a long time. If the plants are to remain as small as possible, they are planted at a shorter interval at the beginning of autumn. Autoflowering cannabis strains, which are based on ruderalis genetics, have a very short growth phase due to their development in colder climates. For this reason, they should be planted during the two months with the most hours of sunlight, as this is when the small and fast-growing plants can thrive best.
Growth in a growing room
In a growing room, plants are not dependent on a change in seasons to begin flowering. Therefore, you can simply start growing them at some point and leave them in there for an indefinite period of time. To get massive plants, you should keep them growing for a long time, just like the outdoor plants. While growing, cannabis plants usually receive 18 hours of light and 6 hours of complete darkness.
Within the grower community, there is a consensus that during the growing phase, the best results can be achieved with a light cycle of 18/6. 18 hours of light signals to the plant that it is in spring and summer, which is why it increases in size. By maintaining a light cycle of 18/6, growers can keep their plants in the growing phase indefinitely.
Mother plants (cannabis plants from which clones are taken) are not allowed to move into the flowering phase, which is why they are forever in the vegetative phase. Autoflowering plants are often exposed to an extended light phase of 20-24 hours per day in a grow room. The reason for this is that autoflowering plants are not dependent on photoperiod. Since their genetic "growth clock" starts ticking after germination, their growth phase cannot be manipulated.
In a greenhouse
In a greenhouse, sunlight is used as an energy source for the plants, which is why growing plants there falls under the "outdoors" category. Nevertheless, growers in a greenhouse have more control over how long light is supplied. Additional light sources can be used to keep plants in the vegetative phase longer, while special covers can be used to keep sunlight out and shorten growth.
Watering during the growing phase
At the beginning of growth, plants do not need to be watered as often, because small plants can only absorb very small amounts anyway. Since water supply varies considerably depending on the growing medium, it is impossible to say exactly how often plants should be watered. Plants should receive not too much and not too little water, although it is advisable to work with rather less water. Overwatered plants are as good as lost, while an undersupply of water can be made up for quite easily. In this case, less is more. The water should have a temperature of about 20°C.
Nutrients during growth
Nitrogen. The most important nutrient that plants need during the growth phase is nitrogen. The N-P-K ratio (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) should be about 2:1:1. However, growers have different preferences and compositions. As a rule of thumb, if the leaves have a healthy green color and do not fall off, the nutrient level is just right.
The best conditions for the growing room during the growing season.
Exposure: LED and high-pressure sodium lamps provide the best light for the growing phase in a cultivation room. On a smaller plantation, CFL lamps can also be used.
Temperature: With roots extending far into the cool soil, outdoor plants can handle hotter temperatures up to 38°C. The perfect temperature for plants in a growing room is between 21-29°C. At night, temperatures should be slightly lower, between 17-21°C.
Humidity: During the growing phase, cannabis plants can cope with higher humidity. A humidity of about 60% is recommended.
pH: For cannabis plants grown in soil, the pH should be between 6-6.5. When grown in a hydroponic system, the optimal value is 5.5-5.8.
Ventilation: during growth it is important to provide air circulation in the plantation. Both outdoors and in a growing room, plants need to be exposed to a light breeze so they can absorb CO₂ and release O₂.
The sex of the plants
In the final stage of growth, the sex of cannabis plants can be determined. If you discover pollen sacs, these are male plants and must be removed immediately if you are aiming for a premium end product. When the female plants are pollinated by the male plants, the plants focus on producing seeds and less on producing THC.
If the males are removed, leaving only female plants on the plantation, you should still look for pollen sacs in the shape of a banana. These can also occur in female plants under stressful conditions. If they are discovered in time, they must be surgically removed without allowing pollen to escape. This could in fact ruin the entire plantation.
During the flowering phase, cannabis plants focus on producing precious flowers. Colas begin to emerge and the plant develops trichomes and begins to emit viscous resin filled with cannabinoids and terpenes. For most growers, this is the most exciting period of the cultivation cycle - they finally get to keep an eye on the results of their hard work!
Cannabis plants have very specific needs during the flowering phase and require a different amount of light and nutrients compared to the growing phase. Aside from that, keeping the temperature and humidity at optimal levels can also do wonders in preventing mold and improving quality. Study the following introduction to learn more about the flowering phase, and to ensure that this phase is successful and leads to a fruitful harvest.
Your cannabis plants have been in the growing phase for quite a while now. They were increasing in size, developing a strong structure and lots of leaves. As soon as the female plants start growing small, white hairs from their nodes, they signal that it's time for the flowering phase. During this stage, the flowers grow and develop a solid cannabinoid and terpene profile.
THE 4 STAGES OF FLOWERING
Outdoors, the flowering phase naturally sets in at fall time, while when growing in a grow room, the flowering phase must be initiated with the change in light cycle from 18-6 to 12-12 hours of light and darkness. Before we continue with the details, it is important to note that the main mistake the grower can make during cultivation is to overfertilize the plants. Just because the flowers are starting to form does not mean that they need to be literally bombarded with fertilizers and boosters; in fact, this often leads to nutrient toxicity. As a rule of thumb, remember that less fertilization produces better results. If a nutrient deficiency is found, the necessary components should be gradually added to the fertilizer mix.
1. PRE-BLOOMING
Usually the flowering stage is considered as a single stage, however there are certain nuances that are valuable in distinguishing it for best results. Once the white pistils (hairs) start to show in the node areas, pre-bloom has begun. At this point, indoor growers switch the light cycle to 12-12, which signals to the plants that the fall season has begun and it is time to develop flowers. It is important to continue to use fertilizer for the growing phase and only gradually switch to the P-K (phosphorus and potassium) fertilizer to allow the flowers to grow and mature.
Novice growers often switch completely from nitrogen-rich growth fertilizers to P-K-rich fertilizers, which in most cases leads to disaster. At this point, the flowers have barely formed and they require only trace amounts of nutrients. During pre-bloom, the areas around the nodes develop more pistils and larger calyxes (cannabis flowers), which initiate the next phase.
2. EARLY FLOWERING
The calyxes increase in size and the hairs become longer. This is now the early flowering phase. The flowers resemble round balls with white spines. At this stage, the plants continue to increase in size and may stretch significantly depending on genetics. The flowers require slightly more P-K nutrients at this stage. If possible, the temperature should be reduced a little during the light hours to about 23°C. This signals to the plants that it is already later in the fall season.
3. PEAK OF THE FLOWERING PHASE
The peak of the flowering phase begins when the inflorescences fuse together and form a long cluster of green calyxes and white pistils. During this phase, the plants should be fed a greater amount of P-K, as the flowers will now increase significantly in size. This is the stage when the grower must be especially careful with environmental conditions and fertilizer. If something goes wrong during the peak of the flowering phase, the flowers will not increase much in size. For this reason, caution is advised.
At this time, the growth of the plant stagnates and all the energy is put into the formation of the flowers. Large plants may need some support at this point. The flowers fill with water, which can make them too heavy for the branches, which can break under the weight. At this point, the trichomes take shape and the cannabinoids and terpenes inside develop.
4. LATE FLOWERING - MATURATION PHASE
Now begins the final phase of flowering, which is the ripening phase. At this stage, the flowers are quite large, firm and heavy. The white hairs begin to curl, turn yellow, orange and finally brown. The trichomes evolve in color from transparent-clear to cloudy and milky. If you waited any longer, they would turn amber. If someone desires more uplifting effects from the flowers, they should be harvested while the trichomes are mostly milky. For a more sedating and narcotic high, one should wait until the trichomes turn amber.
During this phase, the amount of nutrients should be gradually reduced and nitrogen should be virtually completely removed from the mix. 1-2 weeks before harvesting the plant, it is necessary to flush out all nutrients that would not be desirable for consumption. This is usually done by soaking the soil with clear, pH-regulated water. This allows the plants to use any stored nutrients. After rinsing the plants, the leaves will turn yellow and fall off; at this time, this is a good sign. Once the flowers are completely ripe, it is time for harvesting, which is also the end of the flowering phase.
WATERING DURING THE FLOWERING PHASE
During pre-bloom and early bloom, plants do not require additional watering. However, during the peak of the flowering phase, the flowers extract virtually all the water from the soil. The flowers fill with water; therefore, more water must also be added. The best approach here is to feel the soil. If the soil feels dry, the watering schedule needs to be readjusted.
NUTRIENTS DURING THE FLOWERING PERIOD
Nutrients during the growing season need to be primarily nitrogen heavy. As mentioned earlier, nutrients during the flowering phase need to be gradually switched to more P-K.
FOLIAR FERTILIZER
Applying foliar fertilizers is fairly straightforward during the growing phase, but it is better to avoid spraying the flowers with chemicals during the flowering phase. When the flowers start to increase in size, foliar fertilizer should generally not be used. If you do want to use some during flowering, be sure to keep the affected leaves away from the flowers. The process is extremely time-consuming, but you can do it anyway.
BEST ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR THE FLOWERING PHASE
Tumblr media
Light: Lighting should be more in the "red" light spectrum during the flowering phase, but more in the "blue" spectrum during the growing phase. The lighting cycle should be changed to 12-12 when growing in the grow room, unless you are using autoflowering varieties that can tolerate longer light periods.
Temperature/humidity: For photoperiod plants, a good practice is to mimic the differences between summer and fall by shortening the light cycle and lowering the temperature slightly. Lowering the temperature by 2-3°C during the flowering phase works wonderfully, but is not necessary to develop the highest quality flowers. Humidity should not exceed the 50% mark or the flowers may rot.
pH: If cannabis is grown in soil, pH levels between 6.0-6.5 are considered optimal, for hydro 5.5-6.0.
Ventilation/Air Circulation: Good air circulation is important during any growing phase. Something to be aware of during the flowering phase is that the flowers give off a pervasive scent that could easily be detected by neighbors.

Note
🎫 Azimuth
In the early years of the war, he tended to stick around the Wreckers and help them with minor issues, but never saw himself as one of them for many reasons. They were too rowdy, too unorganized for his liking and his rather snobbish, cold personality which only got worse after his brother's death did not suit most of the Wreckers.
However, to everyone's surprise, he got along with Wheeljack just fine. The inventor and bomb specialist was glad to have a smart mech he could rely on for calculations. They developed a friendly rivalry - Wheeljack showed him how to create explosives and Azimuth taught him complex mathematics he needed for his projects in return.
They even share similar paintjobs (white, green and red) but purely by accident. Azimuth's paint was color-picked from my best friend's travel kit because they were so nice and I turned them into a Transformer (white, green, red, black, purple, pink, blue). That's how he was made.
His brother Altitude has a similar color scheme (white, green, red, black, orange, pink). Instead of light blue and purple, he wears orange. Even though they're twins, they don't look alike much. They share faceplates, an alt mode and a passion for theatre, but that's it.

Teeth Whitening in Hennur, Bangalore — Brighten Your Smile at CureAlign Dentistry
Tumblr media
What Causes Teeth Staining?
Teeth can lose their natural whiteness due to several reasons, many of which are part of daily life. Common causes of teeth staining include:
Food and Drinks: Consuming dark-colored foods and beverages, such as coffee, tea, red wine, and berries, can stain the enamel over time.
Smoking and Tobacco Use: Nicotine and tar from cigarettes and tobacco products leave yellow or brown stains on the teeth.
Aging: As we age, the outer layer of enamel on our teeth wears away, revealing the natural yellowish color of the dentin underneath.
Medications: Certain medications, such as antibiotics like tetracycline, can cause tooth discoloration if taken during tooth development.
Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque and food debris to build up on the teeth, leading to staining.
At CureAlign Dentistry, we understand the factors that contribute to discoloration and offer tailored teeth whitening treatments to meet your specific needs.
Professional Teeth Whitening: Why Choose It?
While there are various over-the-counter whitening products available, professional teeth whitening offers significant advantages in terms of effectiveness, safety, and long-lasting results. Here’s why opting for professional whitening at CureAlign Dentistry is a smart choice:
Customized Treatment: Professional teeth whitening is tailored to your unique needs. Your dentist will assess the level of discoloration and recommend the most suitable treatment option to achieve optimal results.
Faster Results: Unlike at-home whitening kits that can take weeks to show noticeable results, professional treatments at our clinic can significantly whiten your teeth in just one visit.
Safer and More Comfortable: The whitening gels used in professional treatments are applied under expert supervision, ensuring that your gums and other oral tissues are protected. This reduces the risk of sensitivity or irritation.
Long-Lasting Effects: Professional whitening treatments penetrate deeper into the enamel, offering results that last longer compared to over-the-counter products.
Teeth Whitening Options at CureAlign Dentistry
At CureAlign Dentistry, we offer several teeth whitening options to suit different preferences and goals. Our whitening treatments are designed to give you a radiant smile in a safe and comfortable environment.
In-Office Teeth Whitening
In-office teeth whitening is one of the most popular and effective methods for achieving a bright smile. This procedure is performed at our clinic and provides quick and noticeable results.
How It Works: A protective barrier is applied to the gums to prevent irritation, and a high-concentration whitening gel is carefully applied to the teeth. The gel is activated by a special light or laser, which enhances the whitening process. After 30–60 minutes, your teeth will be several shades lighter.
Benefits: The main advantage of in-office whitening is the speed and effectiveness. In just one session, you can achieve a whiter smile, perfect for those with busy schedules or those looking for immediate results before a special occasion.
Take-Home Whitening Kits
For patients who prefer the convenience of whitening their teeth at home, we offer customized take-home whitening kits. These kits are designed for safe and gradual whitening under your dentist’s guidance.
How It Works: We will create custom-made whitening trays that fit snugly over your teeth. You’ll be provided with professional-grade whitening gel to use in the trays for a specified period each day, usually over a week or two.
Benefits: Take-home whitening kits allow you to whiten your teeth at your own pace. While the results are gradual, the final outcome is just as effective as in-office treatments, making it a flexible option for those who prefer at-home care.
The Teeth Whitening Process at CureAlign Dentistry
Here’s what you can expect when you choose professional teeth whitening at CureAlign Dentistry:
Consultation: During your initial consultation, our dentist will examine your teeth and discuss your whitening goals. We’ll determine the cause of your tooth discoloration and recommend the most appropriate whitening treatment.
Preparation: If necessary, a thorough cleaning will be performed to remove any surface stains or plaque that could interfere with the whitening process. This helps ensure the best possible results.
Whitening Procedure: Whether you choose in-office treatment or a take-home kit, the whitening process will be explained in detail. If you opt for in-office treatment, the procedure is performed in a single visit, while take-home kits offer a more gradual whitening experience.
Post-Whitening Care: After the whitening treatment, we will provide you with instructions on how to care for your newly brightened smile. This includes tips on maintaining your results through good oral hygiene and avoiding staining foods and beverages.
How to Maintain Your Whiter Smile
After teeth whitening, it’s essential to maintain your results by practicing good oral hygiene and making some lifestyle adjustments. Here are some tips for keeping your smile bright:
Brush and Floss Regularly: Brushing twice a day and flossing daily help remove plaque and prevent new stains from forming.
Avoid Staining Foods and Drinks: Limit your intake of dark-colored beverages like coffee, tea, and red wine, as well as foods that can cause staining.
Quit Smoking: Tobacco use is one of the leading causes of tooth discoloration. Quitting smoking can help maintain a white smile and improve overall health.
Use a Straw: When consuming beverages that could stain your teeth, using a straw can minimize contact with your teeth and reduce staining.
Conclusion
A brighter, whiter smile can boost your confidence and leave a lasting impression. At CureAlign Dentistry in Hennur, Bangalore, we offer professional teeth whitening solutions to help you achieve the radiant smile you desire. Whether you prefer in-office treatment for quick results or a take-home kit for convenience, our expert team is here to guide you through the process. Schedule a consultation today to explore the best teeth whitening options for your smile!

Ultimate Guide to Packing for a Winter Study Abroad Program
Tumblr media
When it comes to Winter Packing, layering is your best friend. Choose versatile layers that can handle fluctuating temperatures and heated indoor spaces. Start with thermal innerwear for those chilly days, add a cozy fleece or wool sweater, and finish with a waterproof, windproof jacket. This combination will have you covered from frosty mornings to warm, relaxing afternoons in a café.
Step Up Your Footwear Game
Navigating snowy streets or icy sidewalks calls for reliable, waterproof boots. Insulated boots with a strong grip will keep you steady and warm, reducing the risk of slipping. Don’t forget to pack moisture-wicking socks to keep your feet cozy and dry!

The right accessories can make all the difference in winter. A stylish hat, scarf, and gloves not only enhance your look but also shield you from the cold. Opt for touchscreen-friendly gloves so you can stay connected without freezing your fingers.
Tech Must-Haves
Your phone will be your go-to tool for navigation, translation, and keeping in touch. Ensure all your devices stay charged with a universal adapter and a portable charger. Since daylight hours are shorter in winter, consider packing a compact flashlight or headlamp for added convenience.

One of the best parts of studying abroad during winter is experiencing local festivities. Be sure to pack a nice outfit for any special events—whether it’s a theater night in London, a fancy dinner in Paris, or a cultural celebration in India.
Be Ready for the Unexpected
Travel can be unpredictable, so it's smart to be prepared. Pack a basic first-aid kit, a few snacks, and a good book for downtime or unexpected delays.

Discus fish breeding requires a deep understanding of water chemistry, nutrition, and behavioral patterns. Breeders must maintain pristine water conditions, carefully adjusting parameters like temperature, pH, and hardness to mimic the discus' natural habitat. They often use reverse osmosis systems and precise dosing of minerals to achieve the perfect water balance.
Nutrition plays a crucial role in discus breeding. Breeders typically cultivate live foods such as brine shrimp and bloodworms, supplementing with high-quality prepared foods to ensure optimal health and vibrant coloration of their stock.
The breeding process itself demands close observation and timely intervention. Breeders must recognize courtship behaviors, provide suitable spawning surfaces, and sometimes assist in the care of fry, which feed on their parents' mucus secretions in the early stages of life.

 You’re sitting in a sprawling café in Gurgaon, sipping your artisan coffee, watching the world buzz by. You think to yourself, “I could explore this bustling city much better on two wheels than four!” And just like that, the idea hits you - why not grab a bike on rent in Gurgaon? Forget about being stuck in traffic or struggling for parking spaces. It’s time to feel the wind in your hair (or through your helmet, safety first!) and uncover the gems of Gurgaon, from its corporate glass towers to the hidden street art alleys, all on a bike.
Getting a bike rental in Gurgaon isn’t just about ease and efficiency; it’s about creating an adventure right in the heart of India’s modern Millennium City. Whether you’re a local wanting a change of pace or a visitor eager to explore beyond the malls, Gurgaon bike rental services from Rentnhop offer you the freedom to design your own itinerary.
Exploring Gurgaon: Beyond the Concrete
Before we dive into the practical tips, here’s a little-known fact about Gurgaon that most people overlook: it's home to several small but beautifully maintained green spaces and parks. So, while you’re planning your biking route, why not include a picnic stop at one of these verdant retreats? It could be the perfect way to recharge before you pedal on.
5 Small Pro Tips for Bike Rental in Gurgaon:
Choose the Right Bike:
Not all bikes are built the same! When looking at a bike rental in Gurgaon, consider the type of ride you're planning. Are you going to weave through urban traffic, or are you aiming for an open road adventure outside the city limits? Rentnhop offers a variety of bikes so you can find one that suits your ride style and comfort.
Check the Bike’s Health:
Just like you’d check a rental car, give your bike a quick but thorough check before you hit the road. Look at the brakes, tires, and lights. Rentnhop ensures all their bikes are in top-notch condition, so this should just be a formality.
Plan Your Route in Advance:
While spontaneity is a key ingredient of adventure, having a route in mind can save you time and hassle. Gurgaon has its share of busy roads; knowing your way can help you avoid traffic-heavy areas, especially during peak hours.
Pack Smart:
Especially if you’re planning a long ride. Include hydration, a basic first-aid kit, and perhaps a spare change of clothes if you’re adventurous. Remember, storage on bikes can be limited, so pack light and right.
Stay Updated on Local Regulations:
Gurgaon, with its rapid development, occasionally updates its road and transport regulations. A quick check on the latest can keep you clear of unintentionally breaking any rules.
Something New About Gurgaon:
Did you know that Gurgaon is unofficially known as the city of festivals? Throughout the year, various cultural and modern festivals are celebrated here, reflecting the rich diversity of its population. So, when you’re out and about on your bike rental in Gurgaon, keep your eyes peeled for banners and stalls - you might just stumble upon a vibrant local celebration.
Conclusion: Why Pedal Plain When You Can Pedal with Panache?
So, next time you’re in Gurgaon, don’t just be another face in the crowd, stuck in a cab or a bus. Grab a bike on rent in Gurgaon from Rentnhop and ride your way to a personal adventure. Whether you're cruising past the gleaming Cyber City or exploring the nooks and crannies of old Gurgaon, Gurgaon bike rental is your ticket to an unparalleled urban adventure. Just remember, while on your bike, wear your confidence as visibly as your helmet, and keep that quirky sense of humor ready for the road - you’ll need both in Gurgaon.
