Started week 1.
-Soaked seeds in water for 18 hours then proceeded to paper towel method
-Seeds in light tight container in sous-vide bath at 75 degrees to germinate
1/30/21
-24 Hours into germination seeds appear to be doing well and have popped
-Will Transfer to rapid rooter and cloner/germination bucket after another day.
1/31/21
-Seeds germinating well and placed into rapid rooter.
-Rooter placed into foam collar and Aero germination
-Lights on 24hr till seeds pop then 18/6, 20% power
-Humidifier
-No Nutrients, water is slightly pHed. Begin to include hydroguard also.
-Aero timer is 1min on, 60min off.
Day 4
-Seeds have begun to pop out of rapid rooters
-Continue to monitor temp/humidity, a bit low
Day 5
-Seeds appear to be doing Ok, Zkittlez has popped seed
-Ph around 5.5
-Continue to monitor humidity and temp
Day6
-Seeds looked good on first check, Concerned about damping off on 2nd
-Turned off humidifier
-Increased aero off time from 1hr to 3hrs, Added touch more hydroguard to water
*I maybe way overthinking it but am really worried about damping off. not much I can do if it is, but i've taken precautions to help prevent if its not. Including lowering the moisture level of the root chamber and grow room. We'll see how the plants respond. Going to monitor root chamber hourly and develop true time schedule of when its drying out. More to follow tomorrow.
Day7
-Still some slight concerns about damping, but seedlings appear to be doing well
-Both have popped shell and formed first green pistol.
-Less water definitely appears to have helped, down to 1min/8hrOff schedule. Was definitely watering too much first couple days.
-Rooters still moist on most checks, roots haven't grown past netcup yet. Will monitor but might consider even 12hrs off.
-Lights are 38% no sign of burn, pH and humidity look to be in good ranges.
-
Day 8
-Plants appear to be doing well,
-Roots growing well with lower water schedule
-Top Starting to feel dry, might increase back to 1min/8hrs off
Day 9
-Seedlings doing well
-1min on/8hrs off watering
Day 12
-Recalibrated pH
-Seedlings doing well but growing slow
-Think Rapid rooter is too moist, causing slow growth
-Added paper cover to one seedling, seemed like top was drying to quick
Day 14
-pH was a bit high again
-Everything is going well
-Plants growing slow, think root chamber is too wet, but overall still growing.
Overall going well, but slow Some slight modifications to implement for future attempts. :)
Day 14
-Plants are definitely comming in a little slow, especially far Zkittle
-Worried that plant might not make it
-Roots and color are still good, might be off because of low temperatures and pH fluctiations
-Will just keep going and monitoring.
Day 18
- Going slow, But plants are showing development and appear to be alive
- Green leaves, nice roots.
- GDP progressing well, Zkittle looks very poor. But is showing new leaf signs and roots look fine.
- Roots are fully emerged from rooter and dangling.
- Increased LPA timer to 30sec on/ 15 min off
Day 20
- Plants growing slow, but ok. I think root chamber is too wet with rapid rooter.
- Roots and leaves still look green and straight
- No nutrients yet, New air pump added.
- GDP looks ok, Zkittle has new leaves but hasn't grown much.
Day 22
- GDP is doing well, good color and showing new leaves.
- Zkittles is stunted. Think i've figured issued. Main root, was building in bottom "rim" of net pot. Caused it to stay constantly wet
- Adjusted Zkittle root to hang, lets see how it goes.
Day 25
- Plants seems to be doing well and growing.
- GDP growing strong and many roots, about reaady for own jar and nutrients soon.
- Zkittle still goin slower but its going, new leaves and stem growth. Roots looking better.
