Germination
a year ago
Pretty normal stuff for starting. I like to get the soil nice and wet first. I'm using 3-gallon fabric pots so it usually takes about 4-6 cups before I start seeing runoff. Poke a little hole in the soil, drop the seed, pinch soil over seed carefully, water a tiny bit more, place in the small tent for 48 hours of darkness.

Pretty normal stuff for starting. I will say though that these 4 all popped up super fast. Lately it's been taking 2-3 extra days before I see sprouts so I'm taking that as a good sign.

Again, pretty normal stuff. No complaints. For what it's worth I haven't been filling out the watering notes because it looks like the only options are gallons or liters. When they're this small, I usually water them with about 50 ml or so of water every 2 days until I feel comfortable bumping up to a half cup, then a full cup, etc, etc. I stick to every 2 days until they bump up to a half cup, then they can usually wait 3 days before needing water again.

Watered each with 6 cups of regular water ph'd to 6.5 Water temp: 73.8° f Each did fine with 6, could probably go up to 8 pretty soon. Maybe 1 more watering at 6 cups. Noticed a couple of small soil bugs, not sure what they are. I think they're just in the soil sometimes. Sprinkled some Diatomaceous Earth on the plants and around the tent just to be safe.
