Humboldt Pound Cake - Blondie's First Grow!

Week 0 - preparing for my first grow. Gear and seed is ordered and on its way. ----- Update 7/22: all my gear has arrived, and the seeds are in germination. Time go calibrate my meters and familiarize myself with the fancy-schmancy ACI Pro controller. One seed popped after an 18 hour soak. ----- Update 7/26: Popped seed stalled, when I tried to plant it, it fell apart. Early stages of rot I guess. Planted the other 2 seeds direct in starter substrate. One I soaked, 1 I didn't. ----- Update 7/30: we have a sprout! This is the seed I planted dry into the moist medium. The seed I presoaked still hasn't sprouted. ----- Update 8/2: The sprout has leaves! We will see how it goes over the next week. The soaked seed has still not germinated. I'm going to give it one more week and then set it aside. I'll be getting a clone to grow alongside the seed grow (a couple weeks away yet) ----- Strain: Humboldt Pound Cake - Feminized : Humboldt Seed Company Substrate: 60% Jiffy Organic Seed Started 40% Back to the Roots Organic Earthworm Castings Nutes: worm juice + molasses (1 liter/5ml)
