π Germination Week, 1-7 August 2024
1 Aug - Placed 3 seeds in a cup of RO water, put in tent under light at 25% power, temp 74 degrees F.
3 Aug - All seeds cracked, roots appeared.
4 Aug - Placed 2 seeds in RootRiot starter cubes, 3rd seed was an obvious weaker sprout so I discarded it.
5 Aug - Seeds sprouted.
6 Aug - Waiting for roots to appear before placing into DWC.
π Thank you Devine Seeds for this sponsored grow and the opportunity to participate in the photoperiod competition!
π My experiences dealing with sprouting seeds in water, they must float, they must crack/show a root within 3 days or be moved into a damp paper towel for fear of drowning the seed. If the seed sinks right away, there is a great possibility that it is bad. I also use a regular light cycle, or 24 hours of light. Sprouting seeds in complete darkness 24hrs have always had unreliable results for me.
