Using a Microclone sterile seed germination kit to sterilize, wash, and soak the seeds. Then transferring to rockwool cubes.
3/25 - 1 sprouted so far... been about 72 hours. Hopefully 3 more soon! Temp inside the germination dome is 80°. Little worried about how long it's taken with rockwool, so I moved 3 seeds to paper towels and a plastic container. They are atop the heating mat as well.
3/28 - one more sprouted, and it's popped into a fresh grodan. The other 2, well... I don't know. I'm sterilizing & soaking 3 more seeds and hoping for the best!
3/29 - Waiting on yesterday's seed to sprout from the cube... meanwhile 6 seeds are in the paper towel wrap staying warm.
4/3 - It has taken awhile, and I've made some mistakes. Here's what worked: 80°, dark, several layers of paper towels, a clip latch plastic box, and finally a nice cozy towel wrap.
In the end, 4 germinated seeds, and 1 sprout so far.
4/6 -Who'd have thought just getting them started was proving to be difficult? It seems that I must be more careful when inserting a germinated seed into the rockwool cubes. I noticed that one of the seeds was showing a green stem, but it appeared to be kind of wedged into the top of the cube, and was unable to "spring up". I carefully moved the bits of rockwool from the area, and freed the exposed cotelydons. It seems to be recovering, albeit slowly.
A second sprout was upside down, and the taproot was peeking out of the top of the cube. I extracted the seed carefully from the moist cube and repositioned it correctly (i hope) in a fresh cube. The next day and the sprout is ready to go and shooting for the sun.
That makes 3 viable sprouts, and I am running a 4 bucket system... so I'm germinating a couple more seeds. Started the process yesterday, 4/5.
4/7 - I have switched out the humidifier to a style that uses a tube for its output. It can be placed outside the tent now. Water temp slowly increasing, just hitting 72 now.
Turned up the light and watching carefully for any leaf changes.
4/8 - Number four into the bucket! I've turned the lights down a bit, to protect the new sprout.
4/10 - Solution change out day, Sunday. Following nutrient calculator for veg week 2. Happy to see the pH read 5.7 after adding the nutrients and the system stabilized.
@thrakattak76, same here, its a pretty messed up strain currently into week four eats nitrogen like nothing else just about to put up a video check it out if you've got the time. happy growing
