All seeds have popped. One of them didn't take to the Rapid Rooter grow sponge so I planted another seed 2 days after the others and it popped within 2 days. It took to the grow sponge beautifully. All four plants have been transplanted to their 5 gallon buckets because I am simply too lazy to gradually increase the bucket sizes as they grow. A second 600W LED Full Spectrum Viparspectra Grow light has been added. I will quarter rotate the plants to maintain even light coverage. The plants also have a solid root system developing. So far to so good.
@Nickname11123, so hydroguard is not available to be delivered to my location due to whatever is in it and I can't find a store within a 50mile radius of chicago that has it in stock. I'm currently looking for other options just in case (or when) it happens again.
