Attempting my first grow of regular Eagle Scout seeds from Green Point. Started with 4 seeds that went straight into Root Riots. 3 of 4 popped, the first seedling broke surface by the following day, the second on day 2, and the third by day 3. On day 2, I screwed with one of the seedlings trying to take the seed helmet off and broke a cotyledon. After that incident, I decided to start 2 more seeds in case the seedling with the broken cotyledon didn't make it (it's making it, slowly, but still hanging in there) and since I'm not sure of their sex yet.
The subsequent 2 were soaked in water for a few hours until they sank, I put them in Root Riots and they popped the next morning. I'll be soaking my seeds next time before I put them straight into Root Riots for better consistency. I waited until I saw seedling roots hit the bottom of the Root Riot cubes then transplanted them into solo sized cups with 2 parts Ocean Forest + 1 part perlite, with a very light dusting of Great White. SO, that leaves me with 5 (or 4.5) healthy seedlings at this point, all popping within a few days of each other.
Yea I had a similar set up with this lamp. But upgraded to the 2x2.5from gorilla grow tent the extra height was really needed for me and the extra 2.5 came in more handy than I expected.
Great system! The hydroton also evaporate and help to maintain the moisture on the growroom, I used that on shrooms...
Could you please post the link from the forum you've used to learn that?
