As with previous grow, I will be starting the germination by soaking the seed in distilled water until it sinks/cracks open (18h max).
The seed will then be transferred to a damp paper towel in the oven to keep a warm temperature. I can maintain ~26C with the oven light on and the door slightly ajar.
Timeline:
03/09/2024: Put the seed in the glass of water
04/09/2024: Moved the seed to damp paper towels located in the oven with the light on and door slightly ajar (~27C).
06/09/2024: Root has developed enough to plant the seed in soil.
08/09/2024: The plant has emerged from the soil. However, the cotyledon are held shut by a membrane of the seed. I'll see tomorrow if it's able to break free on its own.
09/09/2024: The membrane is still preventing the cotyledon from opening up. I took some tweezers to remove the membrane and the plant opened up as it should.
10/09/2024: A week later, we have a healthy plant! Added the humidifier to the tent as RH was fairly low (25-30%).
Next week:
- Start easing in some nutrients while watering to avoid last grow's no nutrient start
- Start lowering light very slowly over the next week to bring it ~30 inches from the plant and then to ~20 inches the week after.
- I'll keep an eye on the humidity levels and adjust as needed. Right now I'm running the humidifier all the time during lights on and 30min/1h on/off during the night which seems to be doing OK for the current weather.
Looking good there , I've got some bd on the go aswel and have had some deficiency and quite high runoff ppms from them in biobizz light mix even without using hardly any nutes yet and going into week 6, I've just repotted mine into final 20l containers with biobizz all mix so will be giving plain water with calmag for the next 2 weeks until they show me some signs but they are looking alot better now i got ppm runoff 👇
