patolicious Let's go with a single seed of Quick One. In it goes into a shot glass with a 1% Solution of hydrogen peroxide with the other 99% being water. It will stay there for 24 hours and then go directly into the final pot. This hydrogen peroxide germination trick has been scientifically proven to lead to faster and more consistent germination. Let's see if it works for me. While we're waiting, a 12l fabric pot has been prepared with the soil mix we are going to be using, consisting of 25% Lidl peat-free potting soil, 25% coco coir, 10% Perlite, 15% Clay Pebbles, 15% Vermicompost and 10% Biochar. To this mix I added some rock dust, bone meal and mycorrhizae inoculant. I also put some white clover seeds in the pot as a companion crop and to give the mycorrhizae a symbiotic partner for when the weed will be harvested, as I plan to reuse the soil as is. Anyone wanna bet on when germination will be? I bet on the 21th of June. Edit: She raised her head above the soil on the 22.6. Congrats if you guessed correctly ;)

patolicious The little lady is spending time under a very cheap and admittedly mediocre grow light. It should be fine for the first few weeks after which she will be moved outside to my south facing windowsill. Clover is also coming along nicely

patolicious Yesterday she's moved into her new home on my outdoor window sill. As you can see she's not alone but in great company, enjoying the full sun. The clover however didn't take the change too easily and some of it wilted away. Such is the course of nature

patolicious Some beauty shots of the little one. Growth seems to be a bit slow and I wonder if the choice of soil is suiting her. I'm experimenting a lot, since I am new to growing and find this soil mix to have not enough water retention. Let's see how it goes.
