Glad to be back. 5-0 👮‍♂️ can take my custom made equipment but they’ll never take or stop my creations!! 420 freedom!!! Tried a new way to germinate and got 100% successful germination from 11 seeds. Soaked in warm water for 72 hours, removed and then placed in wet paper towel between plates overnight until tap root was 1/4-1/2” long. Used tweezers to place Seeds into hydroton. Did 24 hrs in the dark with air ration and sprayer on 15mins of every hour. Started day 5 with 10w Fluro on 18/6, sprayer still 15min p/hr (between 2am, 4 am & 6am - 11pm) and 24/7 air ration, will wait a day on two to add nutes. Hopefully got some time/$$$$ to build ‘All grownup’s’ v4.0 commercial system! To transplant these babies 👶 🌱

Day 26 - check in, had a few fails, reverted back to hydroton and wick pot, taped up any light leaks to avoid root rot, will transplant back to pucks once steams thicken up, so far happy with progress 😎. Swapped out fluro for LED. Once I’ve got some finds I will swap out again for single RapidLED COB
