03/17/2024 - Using 3 germination methods for this grow with 2 seeds each:
- Paper Towel
- Cotton Pad
- Directly in Substate
03/21/2024 - Watered with 40ml + great white
03/24/2024 - Watered with 40ml + great white.
Lights at 280 PPFD / 10"
Pheno #1 / #2 - Directly in dirt
Pheno #3 / #4 - Paper Towel
Pheno #5 / #6 - Cotton Pad Method
Changes that Worked
- The paper towel adjustments from growcast using spring water worked perfectly
- having a ph of water post germination of 6.5 worked for me
- Start with using mosquito bits in water so that you address problems super early
Lessons Learned
- Track the pheno # against the germination method, outside of #1 and #2, I lost track
- The "packing down" from Build a Soil did not seem to serve me well, stop doing that
- Track the day each pheno germinated with photo updates
- These were quite stretchy, moved the light to 12", kept PPFD in the high 200s (270-300) and lowered temperature to 75F
