You’ll have an occassional dude no matter what, but it is rare. This was my 3rd attemp at trying to successfully sprout this variety from Devine Seeds. The first attempt failed and I did write to tell them. They promptly delivered 2 additional packets of the same variety seeds (Auto Pablo Escobar) to me, and I specifically was not looking for this! Kudos to Devine Seeds Company! The second attempt only delivered a mutated seedling (it is pictured in the background, but destroyed now). This last attempt seems to have started off on the right track so far. In general, 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. The only problem I see with this batch of seeds, if you can consider it a problem, is the shell seems to be very translucent or thin. Perhaps the run wasn’t quite matured or cured correcly, or just simply outdated. In any case this is my transparent take on this particulare seed batch. 💧 Using reverse osmosis water with EC/TDS at 0 🍽️ Root Riot starter cubes 🔆 DLI is 12-15 canopy coverage at 18hrs That is it for this week.
