▶️Monday 06.15.20 - Germinating Seedlings were germinated today using the wet paper towel method.
▶️Wednesday 06.17.20 - Tap toots about 1/4 inch Planted in Red Solo Cups, and will transplant into 3-gallon pots for the grow. The soil will be a mix of Build a Soil 3.0, FF Ocean Forest, Mother Earth Coco 70/30, and worm castings, Both the BaS and FF soils come amended and will carry the girls for a good part of the grow.
▶️Thursday 06.18.20 - All 5 of the seeds have popped, continuing with the biodome, keeping the humidity level high enough.
▶️Friday 06.19.20 - Seedlings are about 1/4 inch high, will continue to increase the amount the vents are opened, by Monday should be able to take the lid off, and start exposing the girls to a small amount of air movement to help make the stems stronger, in the meantime will use fine support wire to support with this process.
▶️Tuesday 06.23.20 - Seedlings are doing great, have been agitating them with a fan, using stem supports still just missing with seaweed and water, soil wit PH H20 - this grow going to keep it simple, using just water with maybe a very small amount of AVN Grow a few more days and I will call the ball on vegetation :)
▶️Wednesday 06.24.20 - Seedlings are doing well continue to keep it simple to keep them moist - added support to a few of the ladies and will to the others as needed.
▶️Thursday 06.25.20 - Seedling Stage/plants continue to do well - a few more days will move into week 1 of vegetation.
▶️Saturday 06.27.20 - Seedling Stage is technically over will progress the diary on Monday - it is easier to keep track of them that way.

=========== Wet Paper Towel Germenation Method ===========
To start, moisten a paper towel and wring it out so it is damp, not wet.
Sprinkle the surface with Mycorrhiza I use, Xtreme Mykos, then spread the seeds out evenly, then sandwich with another moist towel. A four-inch square piece is a nice size and will easily slip into a plastic sandwich bag. Fold the towel and put it in a plastic bag.
I place this into the bottom of a 12-inch plant saucer and place a 10-inch plant saucer over the top and wrap it in a towel, this helps insulate it, and keep it dark, place it in a warm place and in about 36 to 48 hours you will have taproots and ready to place into your soil.

▶️Friday 07.03.20 - Day 5 of Week 2 Vegetation / Keeping plants moist / looking to top tomorrow morning
▶️Saturday 07.04.20 - Day 6 of Week 2 Vegetation / Moved plants over to the right side of closest, better veg lights on the side, I was able to top 4 of the 5 ladies, the goal is to create 8 perfect colas using the 3rd and 4th node - by topping at the 4th and cleaning up all the side branching up to the 3rd, the plant would force growth hormones to the 4th and 3rd node, The 2 new branches produce at the 4th node will have to be topped 1 more time, producing 4 colas from the 4th, the 3rd side branching will need to be topped 1 time on the right side and 1 time on the left side, allowing these 2 branches to double and producing the remaining 4 colas - the goal is to have this completed before the end of week 4 - its generally this train starts to flower and stretch, we will use the stretch to train the 8 colas. That's the plan anyway :) Lastly gave the lady a small number of nutrients hoping to help push the growth.

These 4 plants were all over the board with there Phenotype, one was spindly like a Sativa, and the other 3 were Indica, I noted during this grow the girls liked fewer nutrients, when I started using just PH H20 they stared fattening up, added a bit of fish emulsion and they loved that, so less is more, will be goring this gain with bigger pots fewer nutrients - this strain is most of my friends favorites.
