Devilishly Dark

==================================== 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 Dark Devils, 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 Dark Devil 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 2 inches 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 2 more Dark Devil seeds in purified water...an expensive mistake that will also be a pain in my ass to manage...I'm such a dumbass.. SATURDAY: The survivor seedling looks great and one of the 2 beans I floated sprouted, so I planted it in a rockwool cube today.😁 SUNDAY: I planted the second new sprout in a rockwool cube, but the first sprout still hasn't emerged...the survivor looks great, but she doesn't like being a minority... MONDAY: Another Dark Devil sprout emerged!! No sign of the other one yet... The survivor has twisted leaves, but she should be OK.. TUESDAY: The survivor is looking good..third set of leaves...nutes tomorrow. I planted the new seedling today. WEDNESDAY: The survivor shall be called "Dominique." Her little sister is "Delilah." I see the other DD sprout just beneath the surface, so maybe baby "Drucilla" will join the party tomorrow! I fed Dominique about 32oz of ph'd water with early veg nutes, but just gave spring water to Delilah.
