Boom! We have a lift-off. Well, at least partial lift-off. After 2 days, the Epsilon girl has germinated fully, but the Gorilla lady is still shy. I'll pop another seed in a day or two if she doesn't show soon. I removed the humidity dome and instead put in a small humidifier in the tent and set the humidity to 70% on the Inkbird. This way, they get proper airflow from the small fan, while still having a high enough humidity to keep young plants happy.

Transplant time! The Epsilon lady is still small but I wanted to move her into her forever home. The Gorilla girl still hasn't showed up so I dropped a second seed a couple of days ago. No signs from the second girl either. Hmmmm...
The soil had been maturing for a bit over a week since I mixed it and showed a healthy amount of mycelium growing on it. I filled up each pot with about 25 liters of soil and used myco during transplant. I put both an Ecowitt sensor and a Blumat sensor in each pot to measure the soil moisture as I want to track as much soil data as possible during this grow.
DLI increased to 13.

The second gorilla girl only fully germinated today (took her sweet time), but her taproot is already visible. I'll transplant her in a day or two. The first gorilla girl has... maybe (?)... germinated as well. It sort of looks like something is growing but in snail pace. We'll see what happens.
The Epsilon lady, on the other hand, is growing much faster. I see some burnt leaf tips on her so it looks like the soil is a bit too hot for her. I'm not too concerned about it right now. (Famous last words?) Besides, there's not much I can do about it anyway, so yet again, we're back to let's see what happens :D

Be prepared for a unique flavorsplosion. A lot of their new F1's are packed with caryophyllene and myrcene, giving them a nice peppery flavor. I was pleasantly surprised with the sour blueberry pepper flavor of Medusa, and I hear others were surprised at the peppery kick of a couple others. I like these unique flavors that can't be depicted by a fruit.
