drakkon As I move the RQS F1 hybrid line, Orion is up next. For this grow, I'm trying Pro-Mix HP for the first time, with no amendments. I planted the seed directly in its final container, a 3-gallon fabric pot (AC Infinity) and lightly watered the soil. I covered the seed hole with a cup, and then inspected it daily, misting if necessary to maintain moisture. The seed wasn't exactly quick to sprout, but on roughly the 6th day, it broke ground. Thereafter, I covered it with a small humidity dome and monitored the humidity occasionally as it began to grow.
This germination entry comprises day 1 through 7 for the plant, but I failed to take any photos while it was very small. The next entry, veg 1, will comprise days 8 through 14.
I plan to use a self-watering tray (AC Infinity) under the fabric pot, but have not decided whether I'll use it merely to catch runoff when watering by hand or if I'll also use the tray's self-watering feature.

drakkon This particular Orion F1 is off to a decent start in the Pro-Mix. I've been watering the medium lightly in expanding circles, and have begun feeding with dilute base nutrients (FloraMicro, FloraBloom) plus a root enhancer (RapidStart). The plant appears healthy overall and I'm satisfied with its early growth.
It has outgrown its humidity dome and resides in the open air now. The humidity is lower than I'd like for its stage of growth, but I have other plants in full flower in the same area, so I'm not humidifying the air at this time.
