Greenpgh Soaked two seeds in a damp paper towel for ~36 hours until the tap root showed. After this, dropped into a peat pellet in a domed seed planter on top of a heat pad. Using small LED lights 16-18 hours a day. Watering daily. This seed is the winner of two so far, it got a little tall so I made a new dome out of an empty pretzel bin, hooked LEDs to the top, and covered the plant on a heat mat. Onward!

Greenpgh Just starting week 1 of Veg. Will start adding a tiny bit of Nutes soon. Plugging along. Can just see the beginnings of third node. Edit: because of helpful comments, I’m holding off on Nutrients until she has some more leaves. Appreciate you all!

Greenpgh Just starting the week. All good so far. Probably going to move into the tent in a week, as long as she looks healthy. On the advice of lots of y’all, didn’t start nutrients last week. As the third set of leaves fills out I’ll give a little in water.

Greenpgh After almost botching it good, we are looking good. Switched to some light nutrients every other watering. Starting to stretch so did a little LST.

Greenpgh Day 43: filling out really nicely. Probably overestimated height by an inch last week. Topped above 5th node. Watered with some nutrients, not much needed. 7” tall.

Greenpgh Had some light burn a couple weeks ago, so I re-did the set up and last week had some new, lush growth. Slowly getting taller, with two clear tops now. Will top those in a couple weeks.
