Boom! We have a lift-off. After 2.5 days, the Purplematic germinated just fine. The Gorilla also germinated, but the two Imperium X ladies are still shy. I keep the coco pellets on a small propagation tray, standing on a heat mat under a fluorescent tube light that I usually use for my tomatoes and peppers.

The Purplematic lady is off to a strong start. Shooting up five cm in day.

She had already outgrown the small propagation tray, so it was time to transplant her.
Usually, I don't bother with up-potting several times, so she went directly into her final pot. I placed her off-center for two reasons: I have a Blumat carrot in the center of the pot, and by placing the plant off-center, I gain a bit more room when I start the low-stress training in a couple of weeks. As usual, I added myco in the hole before putting in the whole coco pellet.
Finally, I turned on the humidifier and set the Inkbird controller to 80% RH (+/- 2%). That way, the humidity is nice and high without using a humidity dome.

It's been a few days since the last update, but I'm sick with Covid and haven't really been up to posting. Also, there isn't much to report, really.

Very nice 😊 I love picture 11 "D60. Gorilla left, Purplematic right"
could it be that the shape of the leaves look almost the same?
coincidentally through the same genetics?
or
could it be because of the light?
@Grow_with_Cookie, Thank you :) You're correct that the leaf shape is very similar, but they feel completely different. The Gorilla girl has soft leaves, while the Purplematic girl has very stiff leaves. I have never seen leaves this stiff, and they are even quite "scratchy" to the touch.
Nice Diary, very interesting to me seeing all your strategies and regiments. I didn't notice you had more grows up after the summer until today. Excellent! Excited to follow along and see how these ladies turn out.
