Finally, getting those seeds to sprout was a bit of a struggle. I had three duds, which hasn't happened in ages. Weird, right?
I'm chalking it up to the brutal end-of-winter chill making it tough to keep the tent cozy at a steady 22 degrees. But hey, now that winter's on its way out, the temps should even out. Winter growing, especially with organics, is just not my jam.
Anyway, soon I'll have some room to spare in my main tent, so I'll shift the gang over there. For now, they're just chilling under my other lights in a little makeshift spot.
Oh, and if you're curious about my soil mix, I've been following the "Just Add Water" Strategy from Biotabs. You can check out their manual if you're interested. The only tweak I've made is popping the Bio tab in around day 7 and the other one on day 30, as per the recommendations.

Soil Mix:
70% Biobizz light-mix & 30% Perlite
Let's see how this experiment goes. If it pans out, I might treat myself to an autopot and go full-on automation mode (a guy can dream, right?).
see you next week!
