Auto Tent #1

All updates will be made here until seedling stage is over. I wish they had a seedling stage for the week type options. SE4500 dimmed to 40% at 50" over plants. Ran 24 hours of light for 3 days then went to 20/4. Saturday 09/14 Dropped 3 seeds in a shot glass of bottled spring water. I placed the shot glass on a ACI Suncore H3 heat mat and set at 88 degrees to help warm the water. I covered the shot glass with a dome tray and propped 1 side up with a wireless thermometer/hygrometer sensor to help raise the air temp. Sunday 09/15 After 13 hours of soaking, place the 3 seeds in wet paper towels and placed on heat mat and covered with dome. Lowered heat mat temp to 85 degrees. Monday 09/16 (Morning) 12 hours after placing seeds in paper towels, seeds cracked and showing tap root. (Evening) 9.5 hours since tap root observed, now is proper size for planting (forgot to take tap root pic before planting 🤦‍♂️). Planted each seed in a 3 gallon pot with Pro-Mix HP-M. Sprayed soil and covered planting area with solo cup. 09/18 40 hours after planting, all 3 have broke ground. 1 has seed shell and stuck membrane. The one that is open the most was the seed with the longest tap root when I planted them, it's the middle plant in the tent. Removed cups/domes from 2 of the plants, left a cup/dome over the sprout with stuck membrane and seed to help keep moist. 09/22 The plant that sprouted with the shell and some membrane was not growing true leaves. 2 nights ago I used a jewelers loupe to inspect the plant. I found some membrane in the middle of the cotyledons. I used a drop of water and fine tip tweezers and slid the membrane off. Last night I inspected and it looked as if something was starting to grow. Today I checked and the leaves are definitely starting to grow, I expect they will be mutated though. I thought it was also interesting that the plant not growing leaves has cotyledons twice the size as the other 2 plants.
