MalumProhibitum Why Ma Huang?
Because it's one of the most motivating plants I have ever consumed.
Maguang tea, a coffee and some tobacco after breakfast and the morning suddenly went from ok to perfect --that's why.
Tap-root peeking out of the first seed after 2days and 22h, was expecting a lot more time would pass until roots broke the shell tbh this wasn't bad, not bad at all.
Now i just need to find a spot under the lights, and a proper pot; crap.. wasn't expecting things to go this smooth.
I still havn't managed to make room in the grow room, so they have to endure another week under the kitchen fan 5,5W LED w/o a pot; growing in paper-towel.

MalumProhibitum Exactly 5 days & 2 hours has passed since germination week 1 started, but I couldn't wait to drop some photos in first veg week :)
Seed 2 has germinated, both slighly lighter brown tint, compared to the remaining 3 dark allmost black seeds.
I didn't know tobacco could exterminate some insects on contact. Saw a little bug exploring the grow, landed on the aztec, went crazy and started spinning on it's face, before passing over to the shadow realm. Aztec tobacco is a must in any of my grows, and works well as a soil-binder too, where I sprinkle a few hundred seeds on fresly started pots to prepare the soil; weeks in advance of the true grow. This preserves the spongy low density soil and the small roots prevents the soil from collapsing on first watering. A healthy soil is like a solid foundation to a house, it helps a lot. Only sign of insect-life in my pots are a few spring tails, refusing to succumb to the niccotine drenched soil, apart from those it's just nothing but bacteria and fungi I think.
I added some aztecs to the grow, crushing a dried flower and then proceeded to squeeze out some aztec-leaf-juice on top of the grow, as I saw some small transperent crab-like bugs exploring the grow.

MalumProhibitum Another smooth week, just 2 of 5 seeds has germinated but I'm keeping the 3 left; see if they wake up later.
Keeping them under the 5W LED in the kitchen.
Still no pot, but 10ml of toilet paper seems to work just fine for now..
Compared to marijuana this plant is growing at snail-pace, but as a former cactus grower this is fine.
If they keep behaving, they might get a real pot in the future, but for now --toilet paper it is :)
Their roots are now growing outside of the paper-containment.
I'll have to move them to soil, as the roots are too easy to break already, going worse for every day I keep them in this shitty grow-medium.

MalumProhibitum Finally moved them to a little pot, filled with soil.
