I started the same way I always do, by scuffing the seed with some sandpaper, before dropping it into a mixture of fulvic acid and kelp meal and leaving to soak overnight.
I started this grow later than anticipated, so I decided to use two seeds to avoid any delays in case of germination failure. However, they both germinated, although they took longer than usual. I think that is because I didn't use a heat mat this time.
In any case, they both look healthy, so now I will turn this into the smallest pheno hunt ever. I'll transplant both into solo cups and then decide in a week or two, which one will make a final cut and get transplanted into the AutoPot, and which one will stay in her solo cup.

love_2_grow This first week started with transplanting the girls into solo cups, or rather, that is how it should have started, but I got sidetracked. (Normally, I want to transplant the day after germination to reduce the risk of any shenanigans.)
The next day, I mixed up the substrate for this grow: a simple 50/50 blend of Coco and Perlite.
For nutrients, I'll be running Plagron for two reasons: first, I already have it since the last competition, and second, as a redemption run. (I screwed up badly the first time due to being too dumb to read a feed chart.)
Ultimately, I'll use an AutoPot, but for now, I'll transplant the girls into solo cups. They'll stay in the cups for a couple of weeks before I decide which one to keep. I'm not sure what'll happen with the other one - I might decide to keep it and do a small solo cup grow in the corner of my big tent, or I might give it away, or even scrap it.
After checking and double-checking the feed chart, I mixed nutrients at 1/3 strength so they would have some food in the inert media, but hopefully not too much. (I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to bottled nutrients, so I'm just whinging it. Basically.)
I placed humidity domes over the cups for the first day after the transplant, then increased the tent's humidity once I removed the domes.
They started out looking very similar, but now at the end of the week, there are some differences. Both plants have the same height, but one is bigger, with broader leaves, while the smaller plant has minor leaf-tip burns.
It's still early in this smallest possible pheno hunt (lol) so let's just see what happens.
