You might want to post that in the pictures thread.

She’s looking ok but seems like she’s slowed right down. Been like this for day or two, hopefully she’s just growing out her roots and not stunted.

I like seeing the dry-looking soil and happy seedlings. Amazing how many people get too bored and over-water.

Can't go in other thread because no numbers showing. But my next update over there will be re-potting them. Seed leaves pretty, first true leaves popping, chugging right along.

I don't know much about seeds the way some talk on here, but I do know genetics is important. The company I got these seeds from brags on genetics throughout their site, and I am inclined to agree with them. Seed-peeps, we got them wet the same day, how am I doing?

Here's what I am thinking about for the next purchase. Less than $8/seed, and guaranteed to germinate or they replace it.

Especially when i stick em in the little dirt pucks and they hold a lot of water in then because of the peat so I won't need to water this soil for another day or so .it's a good thing my soil might be a little hot for them yet and when i water there gonna get a good dose of goodies lol

Try the "root riot" or "rapid rooter" plugs!!! Way more user friendly than the evil jiffy pellets

I went back in the thread and saw that too. prior too your post.
So some pics right?

My "plan" (and I'm a stoner, so I ALWAYS use that term loosely) is that they get no more water other than spritzes to keep them humid until I see roots.
Then they get a soaking, and a day or so later I'll repot.

I also noticed that some soil mixes initially don't absorb water that well. I had a 1 gallon pot and re-potted with dry soil. I ran a gallon through it and it still felt light, and most went right through.

Now, to be sure, I soak the soil that I will re-pot with a day or so before I use it. I mean putting it in a bucket and adding water until it is drenched. But then I let it drain/dry for a few days before use in the pot that I will transfer to.

Other than the obvious light/ventilation/water-testing equipment that everyone already has to some extent, what other random stuff do you guys now find indispensable now that you grow?

For me it is "blunt needle craft syringes" rubber-banded to each bottle of nutes, a 1970's Tupperware 1+ gallon pitcher & a generic plastic "wire" whisk, sanitized 1-gallon juice bottles (for RO water), and a good set of stainless measuring spoons. What do you have?

I also swear by the silicone/rubber/whatever coated wire for LST.

The rubber coated stuff is too hard to fine-tune for some stuff, but way better for "plant-contact" points. I have used the twisty tie stuff by itself, and had sprouts get pinched and die off because I didn't notice the flat edge of the plastic was cutting into it as it grew.

So I combine the 2:​

​

​

I re-use them and have a jar of hooks handy, but finally got over keeping the $0.99/1000ft twisty ties

Let her dry out, she will take off

 

[Way2-High]

I know my pics look like they’re always wet, that’s because I have to water them every day. I like the way the wet soil looks in pictures, I’ll get a dry shot tomorrow morning.

 

[Way2-High]

I’ll be posting a complete breakdown of my grow near the end of the grow. with all the tech specs and breakdown of everything that happens. I’m already keeping a journal of everything I do with pictures and descriptions that I’ll clean up and present as a final post.

Clones in the RR was showing 50%+ roots so got transferred to the hybrid bubble clones. 12° water temp difference. Put a heat pad under res will see what temp is in the am.
Clones brings aerated water 1/4 inch up the RR cubes 15 every hour. Light is 600 MH set at 50%.

Yeah, sorry. 0 out of 4 seeds popped after 7 days. No do overs so that's me screwed. Guess that's what you get for using free beans.

Good luck everyone.
