Greetings Grow Diaries!
I hope you've all been well. Happy New Year!! This past year was a bit of a dumpster fire, with some silver linings, but I'm happy to be back and am looking forward to a much better year ahead.
To that end, I finally setup my second tent (2x4) and decided to pop a couple of beans, plus a clone from my last SC run, to really try and fill out the space. Was also gifted a 2nd TS1000 by my Love so I'm pretty excited for this run.
Aiming to break the 1g/w barrier with a more robust SCRoG, LST, SuperCropping, and by finally introducing some CO2 into the grow space by way of Brewers Yeast and Sugar! Won't be getting the ideal 1200-1500ppm, but aiming for half that with this DIY method and I'll be happy.

- give the beans a good shake down in a small match box lined with sand paper. old farmer's trick to help lightly break the shell surface to allow better penetration. hasn't failed me!
- toss beans in a bit of MycoGrow powder :)
- soak beans in small glass of distilled water for 12-14 hours
- dump contents onto double-folded paper towel on a side plate
- fold paper towel once over, allow excess water to drain off into sink
- lightly cover with saran wrap and keep somewhere dark (preferably warm)
- check daily and transfer to starter medium once taproot is 1/2" to 1" long
This method got my beans popped and in a rooter well within 2.5 days :) I have nothing to compare this to other than past failed attempts.
Wishing you all the best this coming year! Good Health, True Happiness, & Quality Harvests!
'til next time, Stay Tuned & Stay Blessed! 🙏👽
