Cheap seed pot

Yes, Ahmed, that's what I wanted to convey as an idea.

And for poplars, yes, of course, a number of different clones suitable for soil and climate conditions are available.

I did not mean to say that ALL poplar stands were from a single individual.

But my walks along the Adour or the Garonne and its tributaries demonstrate this to me every day, I rewrite it: thousands of hectares are planted with the same clone!

I am not at all a supporter of these practices, I simply observe that FOR THE NOW, it still works.

[Ahmed]

I am happy with your clarifications which are consistent with my judgment.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to select clones corresponding to the cross requirements of poplar growers, processors and users, which in practice leads to too few clones and therefore to a very significant potential health hazard.
This is even more worrying if we consider the decrease in the genetic variability of plant varieties which goes to problems directly impacting the survival of humanity ...

ok thank you I understand my error now, finally I see much clearer anyway?

All this comes back well to play the sorcerer's apprentices for economic reasons very often .

see you

If I may say so, the term "variety", unfortunately used in all sauces, has seen its botanical meaning distorted.

A "variety" (a cultivar) of roses or potatoes is therefore in reality only one individual, cloned on demand. This individual is a hybrid, it has nothing "fixed", and if we pollinate it and sow the seeds, we have only a tiny chance of recovering all the characteristics of the mother plant.

Hi highflyaddict

In the harvest of hybrid seeds,
there are 50% sterile seeds,
the other half is divided between features
of the breeds from which the hybrid is produced.

you therefore have all the equipment to reproduce the original hybridization

Uh no ! This is completely false, a hybrid can be sterile (inter-generic hybridization, mullet case), but in the case of tomatoes, it is an inter-specific hybridization, no fertility problem.

And it is not because you have a bag full of pieces (with duplicates and missing ones) that you have reconstructed the puzzle.

Hi highflyaddict

good then ! AND the grafted tomatoes ??

[highfly-addict]

Hi hic

What grafted tomatoes? I do not understand your question !

[hic]

Good evening,

a tip for planters of all kinds, recover all the ends of pvc tube that you found, well not diameters 120 and more of course, whatever;).

So you take a piece of pvc, you cut it into slices of about 5 cm, and voila you have pots for sowing, cheap and that lasts a very long time.

Convenient when you want to replant, just push on the back of the tube and everything comes out on its own.

Good semi everyone

Hi hack23

Apart from the idea of ​​recuperation,

The most effective sowing technique,
is that of the blotter and the plastic bag.

you germinate your seeds on a damp pad
that you protect in a plastic bag
that you put in light and heat.

less losses, no watering,
less energy for forcing light (permanent lighting).

after that come the recovery buckets, but it's transplanting

Hi hic

Hi highflyaddict
sorry, this is a slip,
but which would be more practical
and above all less complicated and easily achievable

in short, don't waste your time!

[bidouille23]

Hello,

Hic I allow myself a little remark concerning your semi technique:

The blotter, ok it goes well unless your roots go into the blotter it is the cat like in cotton or absorbent paper.
For germination either directly in moist soil, or in water kept warm like 21 ° c (in oven thermostat 1 for example;) if I do it works), for more results, one night in the freezer the seeds like good too (well certain there are undoubtedly seeds which do not like ??).

In the wetland it is still simpler.

As for the light if it is to make germination there I say no, normally when you make germinated, you do not wait for the germ to come out to put it in the ground, you just wait for the pod to open , otherwise you cause the plant to lose precise energy and suffer the roots which do not like light at all.

This engages only me but if you force the plant to spend are starting energy, and it is this same starting moment which will determine (in addition to the freshness of the size and the filling (large bulging or no bulging) ) from the seed the strength and vigor of your future plant and therefore your harvest will be reduced.

So for me you can keep the plastic film and the blotter but avoid the day, it will be better. The goal is not to make germinated seeds to eat;).



Good evening to all
