GreenCosmos If you see any mistakes or you've suggestions/tips and tricks, please let me know! Thanks! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setup: 80x80x180cm (31,5x31,5x71 inch / 2,6x2,6x5,9 ft) Tend 2x 13L (3 gallon) Fabric Pot MarsHydro TS1000 LED 150W at 25% with 30cm (12 inch) distance 15W Clipfan Germination Time: between 2 to 4 days Method: Peat Pellet (2 Seeds, 1 success) and Paper Towel for the first Time (2 Seeds, 1 success) Success rate: 50% 18h Sun / 6h Dark ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Soylent Green is people!!!!" My first grow with "real" paid seeds... It was stressful! Ordered from a seed bank in austria. Didn't know the breeder (Breaking Buds) or the strain (Soylent Green Auto), BUT the movie "Soylent Green" is one of my favorites... sooooo 😅 8/24 Day 1: First of all, I've cleaned and disinfected everything (tools, tend, whole room). Then I prepared 2 peat pellet's with ph-corrected water, put the seeds in and put them into a green house inside my tend. Temperatures inside: around 28°C (82°F) Humidity around 60-80% 8/28 Day 4: With one pellet I've noticed that the root is stretching above the soil. (see pictures) Immediately, I did a little "surgery" and flipped the seed. 8/30 Day 6: The "surgery" was successful! BUT, six days in and the other seed showed no signs of life. So I prepared 2 new seeds and this time I wanted to try the Paper Towel Method for the first time. 8/31 Day 7: My little "surgery survivor" goes into her final home. (see picture) 9/02 Day 9:: First seed from the paper towel is ready to go to a pellet. 9/04 Day 11: She is looking good and can also go into her final home. BUT the other seed from the paper towel seems lifeless... I've tried to put her into a pellet (just to be sure), but nothing happened ... Summary: Only 50% success rate with this seeds (2 out of 4) was depressing. I've even considered not posting this diary, because I think I've done a very bad job, it was all my fault and I'm a noob... 😞 But I guess that is part of the hobby and I've learned a lot for the next germination.
