thehighjedi February 28th, around midnight I sprinkled Garten Eden Shrooms into 1cm deep hole in soil (Canna Seed Mix). Planted seeds about 1cm deep into soil and watered with homemade SST (sprouted seed tea) made from lentils, fenugreek and alfalfa seeds.
First seed came through in the morning of the 3rd day after I planted them. As you can see, all 12 of 12 seeds popped an had become little seedlings only 4 days after I put them in the soil.
I use a tray and put it into a plastic container. This one had a handle which I took off. This left ventilation holes. To even improve ventilation and especially a) prevent the seedlings from etiolating and b) promote stronger, sturdy growth, I add a small USB fan (40mm, 5V, lowest of 3 speed levels at 4000 rpm or 25cfm).
I dim the grow light to 25% an hang it about 35cm above the box. It helps to keep the temperature a little higher (25-29C), same with RH (80-90%).

thehighjedi Repotting into no-till living soil pots (7-30 liters) on day 13. The small ones have been used in one cycle before, the bigger ones are already in their third cycle now (first cycle one plant per pot, second cycle two plants per pot, now 3 plants per 30 liter pot and 2 plants in the 20 liter pot. All smaller pots only have one plant in them.
I use Florganics DOPE SOIL which already comes pre-mixed with 10% FLO. In the big pots I add a layer of pure FLO (maybe another 10%).
Seedlings haven’t had any nutrients yet just plain RO water and SST when the seeds were planted and a second time on day 7.

thehighjedi Needed first two weeks of veg to get to know my new AC Infinity setup and adjust and fine tune some things. Added my vivosun grow lights to the controller via adapters today (day 24), switched to VPD mode instead of temp & RH mode and narrowed the allowed tolerance for the target VPD as well as target temp.

thehighjedi Just let the ladies grow. Hand watering. About 10% of pot volume every 2 days with big pots holding water slightly better and smaller pots needing a little more. All fabric pots bzw - big ones (30L & 40L) are Rooties (formerly called ChiliWelten/Chillwelten), small ones are 7L Gronest pots. I prefer the Rooties in overall quality, features and handling.
Living soil is getting better with each cycle. Leaves are running absolutely wild.
Topped them after 10 days in the final pots and set up the scrog at about 35cm over pots with intent to flip to flower when they reach the scrog.
Foliage reached scrog with almost even canopy 13 days later. Will switch to flower tomorrow so the day after (04/11) will be the first day of flower.
I'm gonna try a 13/11 run for the first time. Might add up to 30% to the net dry weight according to studies that I researched. Let's find out!
