6/25 12 am - Put 4 seeds in a glass of distilled water with lid for 24 hours

From Sohumsoils.com: Cyclops Planting Method
• While filling a 4 or 5-gallon growing container with SoHum Living Soil, place a large (24 – 32 ounce) drinking glass in the center, level with the top edge of the container
• Next, fill in all the container area except inside the glass
• Remove the glass, creating a hollow core which you now fill with a light potting soil or seed
starter
• Once complete, place a feminized autoflower seed ¼” – ½” under the soil and lightly water to
initiate seed germination
DAY 01
6/28 12 am - seeds pop out of the soil. Plastic lids removed.
1:15 pm - humidity 45%, temp 84%, infinity cloudline T6 fan on level 3. sprayed well water on and around fresh seedling.
5 pm - watered each with 5 ounces. One of the seedlings still has shell attached to it. I sprayed water on it to soften up the shell.
8 pm - added humidity dome to plant with stuck seed
11 pm - successfully pushed off shell and membrane.
12 pm - cotyledons opened finally on remaining seedling. So far so good!💪👽

[Day 47] 08/13/21 - It's hard to believe these are all the same strain. Looks like 4 phenotypes at play. They all have differences in growth type, smell and size. #4 has zero trichomes so far and not the most pleasant scent. The others have a very pleasant smell with subtle differences between them.
[Day 51] 08/17/21 - more defoliating and lst. It's been really rainy the past few days. My dehumidifier was just recalled so I had to buy a new one. It's been a challenge to keep the humidity down. Right now averaging 55% to 65%
[Day 53] 08/19/21 - Moved mini jack over and LST the neighbor to fill in wasted space.
[Day 100]10/05/21 - Here we go starting to harvest the rest. I prefer the more energetic and uplifting and less narcotic high so I am harvesting when the trichomes are cloudy. I see some ambers here and there.
[Day 101]10/06/21 - The rest was chopped on the New Moon.
This is my first grow in 25 years and it was a pleasure. Now that it's legal to grow 4 plants in Virginia, I did not waste any time getting started. Maintenance was easy. Well water in Autopots with Sohum living soil. All I needed to do was train the plants.
