Harlequin - Flood and Drain

===== 10/22 Germination Day 0 ===== Planted 6 harlequin seeds in about a cm deep in 50/50 perlite/vermiculite inside ice tray with holes drilled in the bottom of it. Watered with RO water with h2o2 and pH’d to 6.15; Placed them inside germination dome and spritzed inside with water. Placed on top of heat pad and put in tent with 150 PPFD lighting on an 18 hour day/6 hour dark schedule. I got this germination method from Hoocho who used it for getting vegetable plants ready to go into his NFT systems. The idea is to have roots that can be pulled free of their substrate in order to go directly into hydroponics with less "shock". ===== 10/23 Germination Day 1 ===== Just spritzed the dome with some water to keep the moisture up. ===== 10/24 Germination Day 2 ===== Checked the substrate and found it to still have moisture. Will hold off on watering. ===== 10/25 Germination Day 3 ===== Three have sprouted! They were the seeds assigned Green, White and Pink. Two have helmet head so I added two drops of water + h2o2 onto each. ===== 10/26 GerminationDay 4 ===== Green’s helmet fell off. Pink’s was still dangling so I helped it along. ===== 10/29 Germination Day 7 ===== I’m worried because I used Miracle Grow perlite that the results were not as good as possible. Will try again another time with another perlite. I will move forward with just the three: Green, White and Pink. Today I removed them from the seedling tray by submerging the whole thing in water and then wiggling them and pulling out the roots and all. I put them into my cloning machine with 2 gallons RO water, 40 ml Clonex solution and 1 ml Orca. The water was pH’d to 6.1; They were placed back under the light which was 12” distance at 180 PPFD. I set the pump to spray in 1 minute ON/9 minutes OFF cycles.
