11/10 Started with a water float for approximately 40 hours, originally started with 4 seeds on the evening of 11/10. Placed pill container on top of fridge (dark and warm). 11/12 3/4 seeds cracked, and transferred seeds into a paper towel and plastic bag with a dash of mycorrhizal fungus, if it can even innoculate sprouts, added warm water and placed the bag on top of my router as it is nice and warm and always on! **Highly recommend the router germination** The remaining seed did not crack. Out of concern it wouldn't germinate, I started the 5th seed. Placed it in a double bath, a pill bottle with water floating inside a cup of hot water (basically tea temperature water). Left it sitting for approximately 2 hours and transferred to the napkin. 11/13 Transferred all seeds into grow sponges, and transferred into aerogarden setup. Water was pH adjusted to 6.5 with 2ml/gal of beneficial bacteria. The 3 seeds that cracked previously all have good taproot development, appears to be one dud in the original 4. The extra seed that I started yesterday has cracked!! Had some issues placing the longer taproots deep in the grow sponges, nature finds a way so we should be okay in time. Included a small space heater to keep temperatures in the tent higher 11/14 Two have air roots forming on the longer taproot seedlings, and the same two appear to have pushed out of grow sponges slightly. Standing up and pushing the humidity domes already. Unfortunately fighting low humidity with the small space heater addition. Have a humidifier on order that should arrive tomorrow. 11/15 Had to cut the grow sponges and place the taproots down in the sponges, otherwise they would keep pushing out. The 5th seed I germinated I pulled a seed pod off that was hanging and pulled a starter leaf off - thought I killed it but was surprised to see it is pushing through, maybe a bit stunted. removed humidity domes as I could now rely on the humidifier. Went with a 6L to make it more hands-off. 11/21 Transplanted seedlings from the aerogarden to the full-on DWC setup. Moved the humidifier and ceramic heater.

@danwho, Dude, the time was well spent. The nugs are so huge!! I had to keep one hand on the thing at all times, no fingertips with these guys/gals. Great job, today and in general. Excited to see you soon for the next part of the trim! Even more excited to try after some dry time!!! 💪💪💪😉

looks like a jungle

@SubliminalSociety, It definitely is a jungle in there! One of the slight drawbacks of this setup is not being able to get in and defoliate or inspect plants all the way around. Finishing strong though!
