Germinated by soaking seed in water for 16 hours, then paper towel for ~24 hours. Taproot did that silly coil maneuver, so had to place carefully into Rapid Rooter by splitting open a side and gently placing within.
Sitting under T5 for ~24 hours
Happy little plant :)

A good buddy of mine referred me to this site, so here i am! Welcome to my 1st grow on GrowDiaries! After a year long hiatus, I decided to make a return in light of Legalization :) Off to a bit of a rough start as I failed to germinate 3 seeds successfully (2 WWs and 1 unknown) FINALLY got lucky with my last Early Vixen seed from Crop King Seeds. Had a really successful grow with Early Vixen in the past, so hoping I can reproduce similar if not better results on my 2nd attempt with this strain. Aiming to get my DWC equipment sanitized and setup this weekend, which includes: 5 Gal bucket + lid with 5" Mesh pot, (2) Medium Air Stones, HEC pellets (grow medium), air tubes, and air pump. Also need to order new Carbon Filters for intake/exhaust. Stoked for this grow since I've invested in a decent water filter, the HydroLogic Small Boy, and a new LED Light :) Oh the joys of growing!
@HighTV, you said it, Bud! Such is Life. And by the looks of it, I'm hoping that's the case. Initial thoughts were, "Damn. This is waay too much stress early on. Hoping it doesn't go herm on me.." Guess we'll have to wait and see ๐
@bobtheblob, She stretched a hell of a lot more in flower than I was expecting. Thank you! I'm a proud parent to say the least ๐ She smells very sweet now!
Thanks for the link! I wonder if I had similar bacterial stuff or just screwed the solution/conditions when I had roots dying and turning brown.
Cool little weights you have btw! :-)
@bobtheblob, You're welcome! It's pretty common in DWC environments, and from what I've read, it has to do with light leaks, res temps being too high (+72F), and insufficient Dissolved Oxygen. Call me crazy, but I've also wondered about my nutes being contaminated, and poor water source.
Thanks! They're called Calibration Weights, for my digital scale, and I picked em up from Amazon as a lightning deal :)
