GORILLA GIRL - Popped 1st (took about 12 hours)
NORTHERN LIGHTS CBD - Popped 3rd (over 24 hours a bit)
GSC (Bonus Seed) - Popped 2nd (about 18 hours in)
I used PLAIN TAP WATER for Germination (around 8pH).

Update: Day 2
Sorry for no updates in a while.
Seeds germinated nicely. After they did, I placed them into these 16oz solo cups that are already dug into the final pot.
Taproots ended up going sideways and I didn't want to move them cus I was too scared of breaking them. I don't think it's anything to worry about though. I just wanted to be extra careful, because getting these seeds was a pain in the ass.
They ended up stretching a bit. I used about 35% power on these 240 watt Kingbrite lights at around 50cm. I put them to about 45% today, July 17th.
I also used a cold, wet towel to up the humidity. Humidity dropped rapidly after I opened the closet door though, but it'll ramp back up to around 60% soon. So far I'm using the wet towel as my humidifier until I get a proper one.
Using a small axial fan for air circulation. Unfortunately all fans- clip and stand fans, are occupied. The summer weather is honestly beating us up here.
Right now I'm gonna water with a handheld pressure sprayer when needed and that's it (using tap water with around 7-8pH that has been standing in the sun for 24 hours).
WILL GET BACK TO YOU GUYS IN WEEK 1 OF VEG! SEE YOU THEN!

Update: Day 2, part 2
Okay so I just found out that wet towels can actually cause mold spores to spread, so I'm just gonna take it out of the closet. I'm probably just going to foliar spray my plants now.

Update: Day 4
The seedling tips seem a bit brown. Don't exactly know what caused it, but I have an impression that it's from the homemade compost I mixed in. I was hoping it would add some extra microbes to the soil, but I think I just overfed them a bit.
PLEASE USE PROFESSIONAL, STORE-BOUGHT COMPOST THAT'S CONFIRMED SAFE TO USE :)
(also in the adequate amount)
I've been spraying the cups when dry with a handheld pressure sprayer. Regular tap water, un-ph'ed, sat in the sun for 24 hours.

Update: Day 4, part 2
I wanted to clear some things up I mentioned at the top.
I now use a regular water bowl to add at least something to the relative humidity. I also put the lights back to around 35-38% power at 50cm away from canopy. I did this because of the browning tips.
I'm confident that the browning tips are caused by the compost, but I also want to eliminate other suspicions.
Good luck with your grow I hope you get the best taste of buds and healthy plants! Take care and stay lit! I will drop by sometimes to check on your process! Say hello if you ever visit my page!
