Run 1
Started on a moist paper towel in a bag sealed and placed in a dark location on January 3rd (evening) The beans were popped by day 2. I planted into coco husk cups on January 7th (morning) ~3.5 days later. By the time I planted the popped seeds the roots were about a .5 in/1.25 cm long and looked fuzzy. Not sure if that means I am already doomed with mold or paper towel or normal. The root was digging through the paper towel.
The seed was placed in medium made of garidant level of soil/coco mix with around 40/60 at the bottom of the cup with a little happy frog starter to 10/90 at the stop. I sprits with 15 sprays and into the seed dome fully closed under 40% light 2in/5cm from top soil. lights will be ~15 hours on until they are big enough for the grow tent
Clearly I struggle with the seed stage. The seedlings popped through the dirt the same day they were planted and then they stunted and stretched. I think my error is removing the humidity dome too soon paired with trying to use a crappy light.
I put the light about 3 inches away from the plant and they still stretched. 3/4 seeds stretched over 2 inches tall so I planted them up to the leaves in their home pots.
Soil is Happy Frog mix with Perlite, Vermiculite, Coco, and Nature's Living Super Soil for Auto Flowers
Week 2 is going well. I am already off to a better start than my first run. I water a little every other day and moved my lights up to 25 inches. I had the light lower and the plants bent over. I don't have the right formula to prevent stretching with my current set up, but I am following the guidance of the LED light provided. The lights are at 25% strength.
This seed struggled to drop its seed case and seems to now have deformed leaves. I am sticking with it though.
Week 3 - this gal is impressive, she is starting to keep up with the other plants even though the leaves started weird. I think she will grow like she was topped.
