Welcome!
First grow in a long time using the seeds I won from newbie of the month! I'll be growing a few strains. This focuses on LSD-25 Auto by Fastbuds :)
I germinated by leaving seeds in a paper towel in a sandwich bag over two nights. Once a taproot had sprouted, I moved over to a rockwool cube that had been prepared by soaking in PH 5.5 water overnight.
Honestly, I was a little bit worried due to the age of the seeds. Thankfully they have all popped up despite taking slightly longer than usual.
Seeds stayed in the tent in a propagation box until sprouted and had roots coming out the bottom of the cube. I will officially start week 1 when the roots hit the water. For now I am top watering with only PH balanced water.
I have prepared the RDWC setup with .2EC water made up of the first weeks Nutrients. RDWC water is PH 6.5.
One issue I forsee is controlling the temp of the buckets. at it's peak, it reaches 24.5. I will use frozen water bottles and system maintenance to control any potential root rot, algae.
