Distilled Water soak for 18 hours, then add to 2 layers of bounty paper towel on an open plate in a dark space on the kitchen counter. Sprouted after 2 days and put into soil medium after taproot was half inch long. Placed under grow lights outside of tent for a few days. Will update once sprouted through soil and established a bit better. Grow lights for sprouts are 600W Costco lights. Temperature is 25oC and humidity is lower and will increase using a household humidifier as they grow and will increase to 50-55% RH as the week progresses. Watering with distilled water to keep moist but not soaked. Wifi timer set to 24h on lights while under the 600w lights. Will adjust to 20/4 ad the leaves form then move to the tent.

The little fellas both shot through the soil after moving from paper towel to 3 inch peat pots with with a small amount of soil mix. Using 1/3 raw earthworm castings, 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 mix of vermiculite and perlite. Keeping soil moist for the first week using distilled water in a mist bottle. No nutes added at this time. Will stay at least two more weeks under the 600w LED at vegetation spectrum setting. Using a small area heater to warm the basement room. Moved to the grow tent in my heated detached garage with some other plants. This is where they will live (for the most part) until harvest. Have a humidifier, lights, and heater set on cycles with wifi smart plugs and iPhone app control using schedules. Monitoring temp and humidity remotely using Bluetooth temp gauges that have 50 feet of range.

Had a little trouble with lack of humidity in my basement, so I had to move into a grow tent in my garage. One of the plants is stunted and the stem short. Hoping it begins to stretch in the next few days.

Still not much new growth other than some new leaves. A little frustrated that me other strains are growing so well in the same tent and under the same light.

Hi there, At this age, Overwatering or watering frequently can cause slow and stunted growth.With your pot size and plant age, 50~100ml once in 2~3days would be enough.Make sure your top soil is dried between each watering.Advice to think about transplanting into bigger pot and let the root to grow vigorously.Happy Growing... ✌️

Finally moved these stubborn girls into 5 gal pails. They were root bound in the coco cups and they just didn’t seem to want to get any larger. Added a small amount of Gaia Green all purpose veg to the soil and topped it off with a new top layer of earthworm castings. Fingers crossed and a lot of love... they are starting to grow. 💃🏿

After being in the 5 gal pails for a couple of weeks, they seem to be slowly getting bigger. All of my other plants that were sprouted at the same time are 4-5 times the size. So weird.

Cut a bunch of fan leaves off of these slow and low ladies. They are growing but not thriving. Hopefully they take off soon.
