Hey all, Newbie grower, this is my second time. Tips, advice, etc. are appreciated. TLDR; Placed two ILGM GDP seeds in room temp water last Friday. Tails were visible Saturday evening, placed them in GH's Rapid Rooters this Sunday morning and have them in their DWC bucket in the tent. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ First, I cleaned and sanitized all the gear from the last grow. Second, I dialed in the environment of the tent.... different season, different environment. At least for my old townhouse. This can be tricky. Data gathering was key. For this I use a "Govee Bluetooth Digital Hygrometer Indoor Thermometer." The device communicates via bluetooth to an app on your phone, and retains rH/temperature data for months at a time. Right now they're 12.99 on Amazon. I use a 4" inline fan that gets rid of hot air through the tent's top exhaust hole and a 6" oscillating fan. I position the oscillating fan so the plants get the air they like and the TS-2000's drivers also get some air flow to disperse the heat. I put two ILGM Seeds in room temp RO water last Friday and put them in a warm place without light. I've read it's best to wait until you see the tails come out to plant them in your medium... rockwool, peat, w/e. I've had success just putting them in rockwool as an unsoaked seed... trying a different way this time. I filled my 3.5 gallons DWC reservoirs up with about two G's of RO water. 1ml/g of GH's Rapid Start, CaliMagic, and Armor Si were added, then the mixture was pH'ed to 6.0, +/- .2. Later on I'll move the plants to 5 gallon res's. Fill it high, but not too high. The point is to have the bubbles from your air stone splashing at the side of the hydroton to encourage root growth into the res. Too high and it'll drown the plant, too low and it'll dry out. To encourage root growth into the res, I'll take a cup of water once or twice a day and pour it over the hydroton. Be mindfull, don't drown the plant. Don't forget to run your airline through the netpot and attach the stone and get the dust off your hydroton. To prepare the Rapid Rooters they were soaked for a few minutes then lightly squeezed in the pH'ed DWC water, a chopstick was used to prepare the hole, and a small slice taken off the bottom. Carefully, a seed was dropped into the Rapid Rooter's hole tail side down, then very gently pushed down with the chopstick about 1/4". Using the slice taken from earlier, a piece was broken off and gently put inside the Rapid Rooter's seedhole to protect the seed from light. The plugs were placed in the netpots and hydroton was used to fill in the rest of the net pot. A cup of water from their DWC res's was poured over the hydroton. Buckets were placed in the tent and hooked up to the airpump. I put their jackets on. This is just some insulation I sandwiched together with more insulation via staples. It's held together via velcro command strips. Clear solo cups were lightly sprayed with water then placed over the plants to help retain humidity. These will be resprayed throughout the day until the seedlings emerge and grow a little. Mars Hydro TS-2000 light is at 24" away at 25% load. I plan to increase to 50% load once they're comfortable having their solo cups off, it's a little too hot with the cups on at 50%. Woohoo! And they're off....
