9/8/18 Dropped the seed into water per CKS instructions and a phone call to them. In water for 20 hours (5 more than recommended by the person at CKS. He also insisted that the water used in germination be natural spring water.After 20 hours the seed and water was into a paper towel and on a plate uncovered. 9/11/18 Tap root showing 1/4 inch. 3 gal pot of soil wetted, drained and fluffed. Sprouted seed into hole and covered with soil and plastic wrap. 9/12/18 Seedling was beginning to push up soil at 3:00 pm. By 8:00 pm the plant had broke ground and was standing upright. 9/13/18 Official Day 1. First true leaves appeared over night already. 9/14/18 Shes doing great so far. good growth, normal leaf formation and no sign of deficiency...leaves might be a bit pale. The pot is still pretty heavy but the soil around the plant is starting to dry out. Maybe I will give a cup of water with mild nutes FF...1 Tbsp BB, 1/2 t GB, 1/4 t BDWM, 2 ml cal-mag and 2 ml Rhino around the perimeter of the plant. Water will be Ph'd to 6.6. 9/16/18 Fed her the above nutes except ph'd to 6.5. 300 ml around the plant. Only watered the small amount because the pot is still heavy. 9/17/18 She looks like she took the initial feeding well. I will probably increase the Mackerel next time nutes are needed. I am trying to prevent the nute issue her sister is currently recovering from. So far I am loving the Happy Frog soil now that I know it isn't jam packed with nutes like Ocean's Forest.
