Fade to Blackberry

==================================== WEEK ZERO ==================================== THURSDAY 10/18: My beans will arrive on 10/19, and I'm ready for them! I've come to believe that with so few total days that an autoflower will live, it's an absurd waste of time to sprout them in paper towels and then transfer them to media. From my best guesstimation, I'm wasting 2-3 days time with each seedling while they acclimate to new media..plus I've had some catastrophic penetrations of the paper towel by the tap root that led to failures to emerge from the soil. I'm gonna try a little experiment with rapid rooter cubes and grodan rockwool cubes this time around. I'm planting 2 x Blackberry, one in each starter media and germinating in an enclosed tray. Once I start to see roots, I'll open up the vents on the chamber for a day, then plant them in 3 gallon fabric pots. FRIDAY 10/19: 1 pair of Blackberry seeds are soaking! SATURDAY 10/20: Both seeds sank. SUNDAY 10/21: Both seeds sprouted and were planted. 👍 I have the 75w blue/white LED panel about 18" above them, and the 730nm far red light kicking on for an hour, every 6 hours. MONDAY: Nuttin yet.. TUESDAY: Both seedlings emerged! WEDNESDAY: Looking good.👍 ============================================= WEEK ONE ============================================= THURSDAY 10/25: Both seedlings had taproots at least an inch out of their cubes, so I planted them. FRIDAY: I didn't soak them well enough yesterday and wasn't able to check them til late today...suffered a casualty 😪 I dropped another Blackberry seed into purified water...an expensive mistake that will also be a pain in my ass to manage...I'm such a dumbass.. SATURDAY: The Blackberry survivor is the strongest of my new seedlings...but the replacement bean I floated yesterday hasn't sprouted yet..😐 SUNDAY: The replacement seed sprouted and I planted it in a rockwool cube. The survivor looks great, but she needs a sister...😟 MONDAY: The replacement seed has yet to emerge, but B1 is looking great!👍 TUESDAY: B1 keeps asking when her new baby sister will arrive... WEDNESDAY: I can see the new sprout just beneath the surface..she's opened up but hasn't stretched for the sky yet. The original survivor(B1), now known as "Beatrice," looks excellent. I fed her about 32oz of ph'd water with nutes today...her first taste. If the baby emerges, she shall be called "Brunhilde."
