Sat Nov 4 - I germinated the seed. I put the seed into water with ChitoSal and Microbial Mass Pro.
Day 1 - 1 litre of water + 2.50ml of Chitosal + 0.25ml of Microbial Mass Pro
- Set up the propagator, on a heat mat set to 26°C, in the grow tent with the lights off, heat set to 24°C and
humidity at 65%
- Poured the water in to a bowl with the seed, let sit for 35 min as per Instructions on Chitosal
- Put seed into papertowel and into an open ziploc bag, then poured the water containing Chitosal &
Microbial Mass Pro onto the papertowel, then poured the rest of the water into a spray bottle to keep the
papertowel moist
Sun Nov 5 - I took a look at the seed. It's been about 24 hours. The seed appears to have a tap root showing or at the
Day 2 very least, the shell is splitting open for the tap root to appear.
- Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to plant it into the plug
- I'm keeping the papertowel moist with the spray bottle containing ChitoSal & Microbial Mass Pro.
Mon Nov 6 - The seed was ready to be planted into the plug. The tap root was out enough.
Day 3 - I took the plug and used a 1/4 inch drill bit to drill out the hole a bit better. I find the pre-drilled holes in
the plugs are not big enough.
- I think going forward, I need to germinate the seeds on a Thursday or Friday to ensure I catch the tap roots
at a reasonable length and not so far out.
- I dumped out the spray bottle and filled it with water only containing Microbial Mass Pro. As per the
ChitoSal instructions, it shouldn't be used until 1 week prior to flowering.
Tue Nov 7 - the seedling has not emerged yet from, the plug, but I can tell that it will probably emerge tomorrow.
Day 4 - I sprayed the plug to re-moisten it.
Wed Nov 8 - the seedling has now emerged from the plug. The seed husk will still attached so I removed with gently with
Day 5 tweezers.
- Because of the seed husk still being attached after it emerged, the cotyledons are not open, but I'm certain
they will be open by tomorrow.
- I sprayed the seedling and plug to re-moisten them.
Thu Nov 9 - The cotyledons are now open and the seedling looks well on its way!
Day 6 - Another surprise… there is already a root coming out of the bottom of the plug.
- I will probably need to plant the seedling into the grow bag tomorrow
Fri Nov 10 - I planted the seedling into a grow bag.
Day 7 - I sprinkled mycorrhizal fungi into a small pre-dug hole that I put the seedling into.
- I then watered the plant with Microbial Mass Pro, RapidStart and Diamond Nectar. I checked the ph of the
water after adding the nutrients and it was at 6.5. I just use half a litre for the first feeding.
- Lights are 24 inches above plant, lowered humidity to 60% and LED lights set to level 3.
