RekYourself After much consideration, my wife and I decided to grow our own supply in hopes of lowering cost and improving overall quality. I ended up buying a complete AC Infinity's 2x4 kit paired with Athena's Blended starter kit. The goal is to follow Athena's recommendations as closely as possible to see what kind of results I can get. From there, I'll tweak the process based on what I learn. I'm not going to lie - I haven't been this excited in a long time.
I started two Blue Mystic seeds from Royal Queen using the paper towel method. After two days, both seeds popped. I'm using Mother Earth's coco + perlite mix that I've moistened using a diluted Athena pre-soak recipe in two solo cups topped with a sandwich bags. The goal is to leave the cups under the Ionboard S24 with 28" clearance, running at 30% capacity 18/6.
@India_Calcoen, thanks for the comment. Full disclosure, the the wife has no desire to learn to grow. She's just excited to reap the benefits of my hard work. 😂
