Popped inside 72hrs. Removed humidity dome as soon as it broke the surface. Watering very lightly every other day with a small amount of bottom feed to cup to stimulate downward root growth. First run of soil for me. Moving away from expensive synthetics and daily waterings in coco. So far this process has been incredibly easy and far more efficient and effective to be honest. Certainly excited to contrast this grow against the same seeds I am currently growing in coco.(week out from flower).
Yeah I feel the same way. I’m using a peat moss/coco/perlite mix with Lotus Nutrients and I’m thinking of switching to organic soil and gaia green for my next run.
@Papa_T, it feels like starting from the stables, put her on the line and let her go, shes gonna run her race or shes not. 🤷♂️ I %100 agree though its a matter of preference absolutely. If 72hrs was that precious to me I would probably just throw down a bunch more seeds for the couple minutes it takes.
@Tootiehobgoblin, well germinating in paper towel or water kind of takes away the guessing game of if she has popped or not. There really is no right or wrong way the end results are the same. Right now I’m still running this peat moss/coco/perlite mix with lotus. Yeah my next run will be in soil or I may try to keep using this medium but try amending it with gaia green and see how that goes. I don’t know yet. I’ll definitely keep an eye on your grow. Your plant is doing well.
@Papa_T, I will watch for your diary. Week 2 is already looking very promising! I have some of these seeds in coco but this one is already outpacing them by 2-3 days over a ten day span. Also, I will never germinate any other way than directly into living soil, no more messing with soaks or paper towel, just drop it! Sometimes the natural way of things just makes the most sense.
