5x Zoap
5x Oreoz
1x Blueberry Cookies
9x Garlic Storm^2
Only the 10 strongest will be used. Giving my Garlic Storm a second try. Unless the Blueberry Cookies falls on its face, it'll be included. When they sprout, I'll add a couple more pictures. Week 1 vege will be posted once they are above ground for 7 days.
Heat mat set to 76F. Dome in use to delay 2nd irrigation until after everything has sprouted. The rooted clones and "STS" plant are for a breeding cycle. That won't have its own diary, so they'll pile into this one going forward.
Sprouting Cumulative Count:

A good start with a sprout in less than 2.5 days. An Oreoz is disturbing the ground and should sprouted soon, too. Will update the counts as it goes.
Good start continues. Seven have sprouted in less than 3 days. Those MSNL seeds are fast. By end of 3rd day 8 of 10 MSNL seeds and 2 Garlic Storm. Had a couple shell heads, but the actual shell was ripped off but a membrane remained. Slid those off ASAP to get cotyledons exposed to light.
There's a little concern about using the FC-4800. I don't typically use such a big light with seedlings. The power is down slightly and 9-10" further away than normal. Hopefully, not too strong for the sprouts.
Update: a bit too early to post the first week so I added some pics to germination week. The majority have been above ground in a range of 2.5-5 days. At this point anything that hasn't sprouted is too far behind for the sake of an even canopy and not overgrowing the slightly older plants. Looks like blueberry cookies won't be joining this grow, sadly. Will have 7 or 8 of the oreoz and zoap and at least one of the inbred S1 Garlic Storms look good enough to join with a few others potentially strong enough. Not sure if I'll grow 8 or 10 at this point. First cycle's yield looks hefty, so there's leeway.
I will leave the others on the side just to see which sprout, but like i said, at this point they are headed to the trash bin. The retarded garlic storms will stick around until the first transplant. If any snap out of the early funky growth, it just gives me options to run 10 plants instead of 8. As of now i have at least 8 strong seedlings that I'm happy with.
Added some fem breeding cycle pictures, too. After 7 day delay, the pollen receivers joined the 12/12 area.
