7/12 placed each seed in a glass with a small amount of tap water. Did not check ph, or ec. Placed glasses in dark cabinet, avg temp 70f+.
7/13 Transferred seeds to paper towel. Put back in cabinet. Avg temp 70f+
7/14 Added water in am. Chocolope starting to open. Added water late afternoon. Chocolope taproot now visible, see pic.
7/15 added water in am. Saw Jack taproot beginning to emerge and some growth on the Chocolope's. Watered pm and Jack taproot clearly evident. Same water, temp, location as previous days.
7/16 added water am and pm. Same temp and location. Good taproot goth on both seeds. Intend to transfer to soil tomorrow.
7/17 first leaves visible on jack. Both show good growth of taproot. Transferred both to soil, Fox Farm Happy Frog, in small cups. Moistened soil with filtered water, 93ppm 6.0ph. Back in cabinet for now. When stems emerge from soil will move under grow light.
7/18 no sign of either plant emerging from soil. Moistened once in am, again in pm 6.0ph. Temp 70-80f.
7/19. Transfered to soil two days ago. Jack started to emerge yesterday and showing signs of first leaf development. Chocolope still below soil surface. Watering twice daily via spray can to keep soil damp. Turned on Maxi Sun MF1000 today @ 10%. Will leave on 24hrs until both plants showing true leaf development and switch to 18/6.
7/20 ended up carefully pulling up the Chocolope. Turns out it was much deeper than I had intended and was fairly stiff and dried out. I placed it back in the soil right at surface level and gave it water. Within a couple of hours her leaves were clearly visible well above the surface. Moistened the soil in the evening and set timer on light to 18/6. Still only 10%, will gradually increase over next week or so. Water ph6.0, temp ~75-80f. Humidity ~50%
7/21 true leaves becoming slightly more prominent. Same, water, temp. Bumped light intensity to 40%.
7/22 bumped light intensity to 60% otherwise wash rinse repeat of yesterday.
7/23 bumped light intensity to 80%. Wash rinse repeat.
7/24 hotter than normal for a significant part of the afternoon, close to 90. Watered more generously than usual. Bumped light to 100% extreme temp was due to external evironment not the change in lamp output.
7/25 upper 80s most of the day. Watered am and pm.
7/26. Wash rinse repeat.
