First time medicinal grower here. I initially started with 1 each of Growers Choice Gorilla Glue and Northern Lights fem auto. Took some advice from friends on how to germinate, and that failed. So I soaked 2 each of those and 5 ILGM White Widow fems in a glass of un pH'd tap water. Each strain in it's own glass, of course. Soaked for 24 hours then planted in a custom blend of Better Homes & Gardens organic container mix, Promix yellow label organic, 30% worm castings, 30% perlite, and dry amended with Dr. Earth 4-4-4. Kept soil moist with fine mist sprayer and used humidity domes. Pots placed in window sill. 8/27 first sprout spotted at 6 a.m. Still had hull, but I waited to see if it could shed it on it's own. At 4 p.m. hull was still on and sprout was layed over. I figured it was starved for light, so I tried to help shed the hull. And, I decapitated it, lol. I was disappointed, but checked the other pots. To my surprise, pot #4 had sprouted, and had nice looking cotylhedrons. I had planted them in order numerically according to taproot length, and 4 had just barely split. One of the cotylhedorns was a bit yellow, but that seemed to improve when I moved them under the lights. Her first leaflets are showing and she's standing tall. Upon close inspection, I noticed pot #2 had the stalk showing but the cotylhedrons were still buried. At about 10 p.m. they were above ground but still pale, will check in the a.m. Seeds 3 and 5 have yet to show any signs of life, but I'm hopeful they will sprout in the next day or 2. Waiting for these seeds to germinate was pretty stressful, lol. I kept worrying that I wouldn't even be able to start a plant let alone grow one through flower. My confidence is much higher now, and I just keep reminding myself that less is more. Can't wait to see what this grow brings and am very excited to learn from others.
