We are starting off with the exciting Mimosa x Orange Punch. We have high expectations for this strain but low expectations for our skills. We are pretty much stacked when it comes to our equipment and setup, so fingers crossed guys! π½
We started off by soaking the seeds for 24h in diluted Nitrozyme (5ml/l). After, almost all of the seeds had germinated.
Then, we filled the bottom of our propagator with thoroughly rinsed volcanic rock. We decided to use a heat mat below the tray as our grow room is a bit cold. We soaked our Root Riot cubes in Formulex (3m/l) making sure they were properly moist, but not dripping wet. Next step was sowing the seeds in the cubes. We were delighted to see that all 12 of our seeds had popped open in the Nitrozyme solution π. After sowing the seeds we realized we hadn't planted the seeds with the tap root down, so we "gently" dug them out and re-planted them the right way round (rookie moves, guys π ). We transfered the domed propagator into our little tent, turned on the heat mat, and installed the humidity/temperature sensor. We switched off the light in the tent, zipped up, and waited.
