UncleJono Trying 1:2 peroxide and water solution - will move to paper towels when seeds crack. Update: They've all cracked and have moved to paper towels! Update 2: the seeds are now in the medium! Update 3: All seeds have emerged from the medium! Going to let them get their leaves before transplant. See you in week 1 veg!

UncleJono I have officially moved these little ladies to their 1 gallon veg home. I am on a time crunch so these won't get a long veg like some journals so if you're curious to see how a short veg [1 month max] grow from seed turns out, stay tuned! I am now watering with ph'd water with a little high N cal mag and wetting agent. 2ml/gallon is a very rough estimate as my current spray bottle is a quart or less. Will monitor how the plants respond, but so far so good.

UncleJono *Jacks nutrients should be measured in grams and mixed in water* RIP Strawberry Cough #1 - I think I destroyed the roots when I transplanted her. :( Will probably take a weekly update approach to this going forward 👍🏾 From week 1 to week 2, I popped a lot of seeds - this is my first grow as an adult equipped with a budget, time, and patience [I dont count my high school and college aged grows lol] So I am learning as I go - my first hard lesson is that coco is just as punishing as it is forgiving, so maintaining proper stats from environment to nute solution is key. The reason I chose coco over soil was to keep things as clean as possible in my grow space. In the past, soil would increase my likelihood of pests and I wanted to avoid this as much as possible. In hindsight maybe soil and a solid IPM system would have been more forgiving... but I ain't no punk and I like to learn so let's master coco! Maintaining VPD has been another thing I had to figure out - with my exhaust and humidifier, I am able to get .7 to 1 kpa during the day and .5 to .7 kpa at night with it sitting around .85 and .55 respectively. GDP is still looking good and seems to take whatever I throw at her, no problem. Permanent Marker is a little more finicky but still strong. Platinum OG shows signs of strength and weakness in equal measure, im hoping the twisted leaf is something physical, not root related but we will see how it grows out! The new strains in cups are all from Ground Up Genes except for the bag seed and purest indica [x4] from agseedco (Todd McCormick): Sour D Sunset sherbet DoSiDos Pineapple express[ x4] Strawberry cough [x3] These new seedlings give me more opportunities to fuck up so I won't feel so bad if I lose another one haha Will feed newbies ph'd and/or cal mag water - bigger plants will receive 25% solution as needed supplemented with microbes every 3rd week or so. Will gladly take any advice/pointers you have if youre following along! Happy growing 2/10/26
