As soon as I got these seeds I dropped them in a bowl of water @10am on April 30th. Planted directly into soil 7pm at sundown on the 30th. I wet the soil since it was pretty dry. It won't be an issue with this forecast. We had good temperature for germination week. The evenings were still lower 60's but the days warmed up above 70 °F. We had good sunshine on the 2nd. We received a heavy rain in the afternoon and intermittently that night into the morning of the 3rd. Our temps cooled off with the rain and we didn't get above 72° F on the 3rd. It was a little wetter than I prefer, but our soil drained well and fastbuds genetics can handle the less than perfect condition. Two popped on the third and the last popped on the fourth. The above listed nutrients were premixed into the soil at the listed rates per gallon of soil.
