My last diary was a bust and the attempt before that didn't even make the it to the diary, What a ROUGH start!
So here we are folks, day 1 and her name is Dixie. She has a sister named Doodle, but she is apparently a late bloomer.
Dixie and Doodle are Greybeard Seeds Auto Northern Light that I received as a freebie with a previous order. These
may be rebranded, I have no idea, I attempted to search for NL on their website and could not find anything.
It was really east to germinate this time around thanks to some support and help from a special discord group and a big shoutout
to @Droidx-rage for giving me a step by step on his germination methods.
So 48 hours in distilled water, not covered, not heated just ambient room temps... was around 69-71 in my room.
Once the seed cracked and I could see the taproot, I placed her into the Rapid Rooter in a plastic greenhouse and onto a
seedmat. The humidity in the greenhouse stayed around 90+ RH and the temps were 82-87f, After another 48 hours, Dixie sprouted
and I put her into the 3.9 gallon pot with Fox Farms soil amended with perlite. These pots are AutoPots with the AirDomes installed, however,
They advise not turning either of them on until she gets proper roots, which is hear is around 2 weeks. I plan on letting her get used to the lighting
while her sister Doodle tries to catch up. Once I get them acclimated to light I will be increasing is slowly...
So all this brings us here, DAY ONE FOLKS.... DAY ONE.
Thank you to anyone who followed my last diary and followed over to this one, I hope to see some growth this time.
Stay tuned!
oh... p.s. I'll be running some Time Lapse's just for fun so we can hopefully experience the whole ride together in a short clip!
11-20 - Dixie needed a little help sliding her protective shell from her new growth. I’ve made sure the soil was wet and have been continuing to use a humidity dome to keep the RH up. Since Dixie’s sister Doodle hasn’t made any progression I’ve contacted her cousin, Jackie and she’s going to come lend a hand. Jackie is Jack 47 XL from Sweet Seeds. I’ll be making another diary for Jackie is Doodle doesn’t make it.
11-22 - We’ve got lift off for Dixie anyways. Doodle is probably going to get culled tonight, she hasn’t made any progression so it’s time to let her go.
11-24 - Dixie is doing well, no issues and as you can see in the most recent photo she is starting to develop her second set of true leaves. Doodle was a no go, RIP. However, I've got a her cousin in the rapid rooter this morning so I'll be starting another Journal for Jackie.
