Started in paper towel in bag placed on top of the grow light covered up. It gets barely warm on the grow light which created a humidity type enclosure and served as a heat mat. It worked very well and may be my go to in the future. Otherwise the paper towel was getting chilled which did not seem ideal. I put it in bag on light on 12th, it had a tap root by the 14th so I planted it in a 5 gal grow bag (it was the only size I had but I prefer 3 gal) with humidity dome. It’s my first time doing the dome and it made a big difference. I mixed half Happy Frog and Loco coco which both have perlite.
I haven’t had to water it much yet and just do small sprays around base when it looks dry.
This is the last seed of this type I have, all germinated out of 3, first one I stunted so it stayed tiny, it was all me but lesson learned, 2nd one is ahead of this one by a week and is doing great. I like Barney’s seeds a lot though I’ve only done a few so far I’m happy with them. I’m new so any issues would probably be me.
I do check my PH which runs at 7 so I lower it to about 6.0-ish. I’m learning a ton and oddly don’t care so much about yield but want to grow a healthy strong plant. I find it fascinating how quickly they grow.
