3 step germination process i do. B1 Jiffy peat pellet dunk with 1 to 2 drops of B1 per solo cup of water then dunk the pellets and soak them for 24-48 hours in room temperature in the cup or individual cup. Then as soon as the seeds sprout from a glass of water at room temperature plant each seed a half inch or 3/4 and inch in the expanded soaked peat pellet. Do not use your fingers i know by trial and error it can affect the genetics and damage the seed or stress the seed no matter what in any given grow environment. Cover the cups with either new clear cups or Saran wrap on the opening to retain moisture and keep Humidity High for the seeds to be of a higher standard success rate and develop more genetics traits in the stalk and First True leaf Set if you have something better you would prefer to use for a clear lid top that is up to the grower i prefer those two materials. Last thing i do is spray each day the top of the pellet and the bottom after the first 24 hours, each day after that spray with regular water till the pellet soaks and is wet it usually takes over 24-48 hours after the B1 soak to dry out of the pellet when first starting germination. Good Luck and enjoy my diary to be a better grower to make a better world and thank you. I have them both slanted slightly to get better drainage and root growth it looks like its handling the moisture better in the base in the middle of the jiffy pot were its crucial to watch and feel for overwatering and underwatering. Dimmer is set to 40% in day and 20% at night until sprouted then it will be 40% until two true leaf sets are grown. Day Six we have one out of the Jiffy peat pellet !!!! . Day 5 lookin like a beast !!! i will not be doing another feed of B1 till week 2. I added slits in the cup of seed #1 still nothing out of soil and sprouted yet from Seed #2. I switched to 20/4 light cycle last night. I started to germinate another Strawberry cough seed incase seed #2 does not sprout in another day or 2 before germination of the new seed, i will keep updates. Day six is going great for seed number #1 im not sure if its the Blueberry auto or the Strawberry cough but i will find out either way after early mid vegetation cycle once it triggers autoflowers or not. New seed is in a jiffy Pot, it should sprout in a couple of days it only took 24 hours to germinate. The 3rd seed sprouted today which is Strawberry cough only took 24 hours to germinate. Seed # 1 looks nice and bright and has big trichomes on the leaves.
I added Zamnesia's recommended used coffee ground recipe. I make swirls and mounds around the greater roots away from the stalk. I moved them to above floor level in another room and closet and they are much warmer 3 feet above floor level. I did add about 2 cups of Pro mix Organic soil in the with soil I was using for the seedlings to help it with drainage and I think it helped a lot.
They both have thick stalks and the smell is strong. I finally checked under the bucket and read it is a 5 gallon pot, I thought it was 3 but that was my mistake. I used it for my last grow as well and will continue to do so when plants are indoor, they stop wind stress and don't dry out as much it seems. I moved my plants around from time to time so they are easier to not spill soil and shock roots.
