Grower_Tom Germinated tonight, will update progress throughout the week. Paper towel with RO water. PH 6.9 Update: 16hrs and 3 we’re showing tap roots And at 26 hours the final one started to open. 100% germination success. Transplant tomorrow. Update day 3: transplanted into solo cups. 80% living soil from Gaia Green and 20% local worm castings, 30ml of Gaia Green 4-4-4, 15ml of Gaia Green Kelp meal, and mycorrhizae sprinkled into the holes. Watered in with more RO water. Update day 6: uploaded a short time lapse of the seeds losing their shells (testas) still just using RO will be switching to tap in a day or two. My water has chloramine though, and since I’m planning a full organic grow, I’m going to treat with ascorbic acid powder (vitamin c) since chloramine cannot be gassed off. I will use 0.1g of unflavored pure powder to 15L of water as the city reports 1.9mg/L A common practical guideline is: 1 mg chloramine to 2.5–3 mg ascorbic acid I am using a tad extra just to be on the safe side as a little extra doesn’t harm the girls at all! I’ll aerate for 15-20 mins just to gas off and free ammonia that doesn’t bind. I’m currently watering about 25-30ml a day. As long as I don’t see run off yet I’ll continue at this rate. I will probably leach a bit but not just yet.

Grower_Tom I guess we’ll call this the start of veg since all 4 plants are showing their starter leaves. So far so good with the front loaded soil. Keeping a close eye on them for now. Also decided to keep feeding RO water for a couple more days and then I’ll start to mix in the tap water. The demand for CalMag is low right now and my soil is already pre amended. Day5 update: not much to report, just water and wait. Bumped up the lights a bit to around 230ppfd and 12.1 DLI. That’s going off cocoforcannabis website par tests on the sf-7000. I am running the seedling mode for more blue light so not 100% sure the math is spot on, but should be close. I’m at 28” as well not the 25” they test on so that adds a variable of error.

Grower_Tom Day 8 today, keeping things simple, just pH RO water around 25-30ml a day. Did do a small bottom soak just to have some moisture lower in the cup. So far The Dude approves! Update day 10: added some new pics, gave a bottom feed today 6.5pH and a very light mix of Vital Humic Hydro Bio .1g:2L RO, lights went up 2% on the dimmer and will continue to go up. Currently getting about 250ppfd and 15DLI. Couple of the girls missing symmetry but they already grew out of it. Started seeing some roots at the bottom already, so I’m raising VPD to 1.3 and see if I can get a little stretch over the next week or so.

Whats the plan you got going here? :) When will you transplant them to bigger pots?

Grower_Tomcommented4d ago
@Scandic, I’m hoping for them to last in solo until I’m ready to top, I’d like to do that and remove suckers while transplanting to my 2l pots.
