Started Soaking 6 seeds in a shot glass filled with spring water.
Shot glass was placed on AC Infinity Suncore H3 Heat Mat and covered with a dome to help retain heat.
After 15 hours of soaking, seeds were placed on damp paper towels on a Tupperware lid.
Placed back on Suncore H3 Heat Mat and covered with dome.
12 hours later they had 3/4" tap roots and were ready to plant.
Planted in solo cups in Fox Farm Happy Frog, I added a little extra perlite.
Placed in Stealth Box where they will stay until transplant.
Within 24 hours 5 sprouted and 1 is right at the surface.
4 had stuck shells and membrane.
Put a drop of water on each, waited a couple minutes, and it pull right off.
Plant at surface looks like it might also end up with stuck shell/membrane.
The sprout that's completely open dropped it's own shell and had no stuck membrane.
First time growing Sweet Seed so I'm pretty excited to grow this strain, good indica genetics IMO.

This morning I removed the seed shell and membrane from the last sprout to come up.
Split photo shows before and after membrane removal.
5 of 6 seeds had helmet head and stuck membrane, I believe it was from planting them to shallow.
Don't see any issues as a result of it.

Everything's going good, 1 plant has a little damage but it will grow out of it.

I would say we're well past past germination stage and through the seedling stage enough to call this the start of week 1 of veg.
Transplanted into 2 parts Ocean Forest to 1 part Happy Frog.
Added 1.75 cups of perlite for every 12 cups of soil.
Used Pro-Mix Connect Mycorrhizal Transplant Powder, mixed 1:1 with water
Looking pretty good!
1 looks a little rough.
It had yellow from sprout and then stuck membrane, water droplets from getting it off, and high temp did not help.
It will grow out of it though.
Transplant should help with that and everything should start speeding up now that the roots have lots of room to grow.
Approaching lighting a little differently this time.
Instead of moving the lights up as they grow and keeping at the same intensity for veg, I'm leaving the lights high in the tent and letting the plants grow into them and adjusting intensity as they get closer to lights.

They've been moving right along since transplanting.
It's been getting colder and dryer so the T3 Humidifier has been putting in some work.
Couple plants leaves are slightly twisted from how my intake was pushing the humidifier mist, quick adjustment and shouldn't see anymore of that.
I topped all plants today, even the plant that is moving quite a bit slower and has some burnt leaves.
My theory is by topping the smaller one that it will increase branch production, branch production will increase leaf production, leaf production will increase photosynthesis and the health and production of the plant as a whole.

Started adding low dose of nutrients. Silica as well.
Runt of the litter is still slow growing, I'm sure the topping slowed her down more. She will come around!
Waiting on the new tops and lower branches to grow so I can start LST.
Might skip the SCROG this grow and exclusively use the awesome LST clips and extension bars I had someone 3D print for me.
Used them on my Autos and 1 Gallon plant and really liked the results!

I was watering the plants the other day and noticed 1 of them is flowering!!!!
There must of been an Auto seed in the breeder pack.
Pretty sure the other 5 in the tent are photoperiods.
Kind of messes with my plans but I'll grow it.
Runt of the litter is starting to make progress.
I put some LST clips on all the plants.
Will top some more of the other photoperiod branches, once they grow a little more.
I would of topped and trained the Auto sooner if I would of known.....I'll train it until the branches don't allow it.
I increased Micro, Gro, and Bloom from 2 ml/gal to 3 ml/gal
I watered the Auto at the same dose as the Photoperiods.
Next watering I will keep photos at same dose and for the Auto, I will increase Micro, Gro, and Bloom to 5 ml/gal.
After they finish stretching and transitioning, I'll drop Gro back down a little and increase Bloom.
I will continue the diary weeks as my Photoperiod weeks so even though the Auto is flowering, it will be documented in the veg weeks with the photos.

Waiting for the tops to grow taller so I can LST more and get them wider.
Pretty thick and bushy, will be removing leaves soon.
Watering is kind of a pain lol
Auto is developing more everyday.

This weekend I'll be removing some leaves and training a bit more in preparation for flipping.
Plus watering will be easier with some of those leaves out of the way.
Auto was falling toward 1 side of the pot so I put a stake in and used garden wire to pull it back center.
I'll be giving the Auto a little trim this weekend as well.
