Imperium X

D1 Boom! We have a lift-off. After 2.5 days, the Imperium X ladies germinated. Not much but still enough to count. 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. ------------------------------ D2 It started well but failed quickly :/ I opened the tray this morning, and one of the girls was covered in what I assume is mold. Everything was fine the night before, so it went really fast. No idea what caused it as the other three girls in the tray are doing fine, although I have to admit that the two auto girls look a lot stronger so far. I gently removed the mold with a toothpick and placed her outside the tray to avoid contaminating the other girls. I doubt that she will make it, though, so I went ahead and popped another seed into water, so it is ready to be planted tomorrow. ------------------------------ D3 After soaking in a water/kelp/myco solution overnight, I rolled the third seed in additional myco/kelp before planting it in a coco pellet. I put the pellet in the propagation tray together with the already germinated girl and placed the tray in the auto-tent to take advantage of the light there. ------------------------------ D7 It's been a few days since the last update, but I'm sick with Covid and haven't really been up to posting. I also should've transplanted the girls into their final pots, but my photo tent still requires some work, and I haven't been up for it this week. It's on my to-do list for tomorrow, though. This week they have been standing in my auto tent. I say "they," but the new seed hasn't really popped yet. I am starting to see the seed coming up, so it looks like it's on the way. The first girl is looking strong, though. ------------------------------
