My state legalized and it's time for me to grow - FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER! What a time to be alive.
I got 2x strains from Multiversebeans. Super legit, can't recommend enough. Came with freebies and even a handwritten thank you note. Please support these guys if you're looking for seeds! They're new and need all the support!
GERMINATION:
I put 4x seeds in a cup of water, waited for them to sink, waited 14 hours. Then I put them on a wet paper towel, put said paper towel into a ziplock bag, and put it in a dark area. 24 hours later - believe it or not - 0.5" taproots!
Only three of them germinated so far - 2x Shining Lemon Silver Haze and 1x ICE.
In fear that the 1x ICE seed might not germinate, I threw in another one of them. Hopefully one of them will germinate as soon as possible so it can catch up to the 3 others.
I took 3x red cups and put soil in them. I use FoxFarm Coco Loco Mix, which is said to have nutes for 1 month!
I then added the taprooted seeds and watered the cups. I put them under my XS2000 at a distance of 12" from the canopy/top of the soil and at 5% (lowest) setting light intensity.
I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS CORRECT :-( I'm VERY new and can't find any info on ViparSpectra XS2000 light intensity percentage % and distance from lights atm, so god help me. If you get any tips/know, please let me know!
I plan to keep the lights on 18/6 from now on until flowering where I'll switch to 12/12.
Praying that I did this right!
