Trying a no soak paper towel method in a clone dome environment with great results. Two tap roots before the 24 hour mark - first time for that! Update: No soak had mixed results. Two breeders exploded out of the seeds within 3 days (Thug Pug and Solfire). One breeder (Sin City) rooted normally. The freebie bean from Square One did not root yet, so went directly in substrate.

The frozen papaya did not make it from looks of it. Maybe too much water? The BBC is looking like a no-go too. Turning off the heating mat to cool down and allow for a more natural dry back on soils. Survivors will move into new home with new light and lower humidity soon.

RIP BBC S1 freebie. Not impressed by sin city genetics. Very impressed by both thug pug and solfire - these seedlings are both doing super well and ready for upsizing to larger pots.

No topping for these battle of the breeder girls. The frozen papaya could be great smoke, or terrible waste of time. very runt-like and sickly compared to the two others.

No topping bruvs! beautiful growth across all three strains. slight nutrient burn from hot soil, but it should cool off right before the flip, then top dress will be a must. Green gods permitting.

Top dressed with worm castings and gaia power bloom dry amendments. Gradual transition to 12:12 over two weeks. Thug pug is the winner of veg. Gas nana is stretchy af and Frozen Papaya is behind because first seedling failed to launch. Stay high friends.

The Frozen Papaya got intersex traits from low stress training during early flower. Purple stem seems to be the isolated part that began to produce anthers, which equaled 1/3 of the plant. She dead now. RIP. Gas nana and Sunset Skunk still running strong - possibly pollinated, but could just be early maturity in some stigma.

Experimentation is a learning experience for sure. Threw in some low PAR underlighting and forgot about DLI. Then had the Frozen Papaya intersex tf out so damn, the DLI spiked hardcore and crispy crispy time for sure. Sad, but learned a lot. Frozen Papaya is cloned - but super skeptical about the breeder's genetics since the first bean failed to launch.

Going fine. Got pollinated by sin city strain. not too many seeds from the looks of it tho, but it always changes the way ladies bulk up, so very unwilling to try sin city seeds again.

I may have to try that out. sick calander with lots of neat breeders. I thought about purchasing one of those but just went with solfire and some others. I will be following your journey for sure though and curious on which strains are your favorite post-cure.

@Dabking, yea, some of the strains were sold out elsewhere so that plus the variety of breeders made it worth scooping at a discount after the holidays. looking forward to growing the strains with cheetah piss in part two. most excited to run the Planet of the Grapes x Lilac Diesel #22 from ethos.
