I have never been successfully with seeds. I have tried rock wool, rapid rooters, paper towel, etc and none of them worked for me.
This time, I started 3 seeds in an aerogarden (on 3/2) using only ph'd tap water. The first popped in about 18 hours, the second at 30 hours, and the third was a dud.
Both sprouts are thriving, but I took the better looking one and transplanted it into my dwc net pot (3/8) once the tap root was about 8" long using 1/4 strength nutes. I kept the other sprout going in the aerogarden for comparison, and just in case I kill the sprout during the transplant. I have been top watering twice a day
The transplanted sprout yellowed a bit for the first day or 2, the yellow leaves aren't recovering, but new growth is happening, so that is a good sign.
I only planted these because I thought my other plants were toast from root rot. They ended up pulling through so I only have a small, awkward shaped space to flower this plant. I am using a 1'x3' scrog net. It probably won't yield a huge amount, but I'm not going to throw them away lol
