BH Classic Run - 2021

-1 week equipment: Ankace grow light (https://tiny.one/ankacelights) Coco Coir pots Seedling trays with lids I began by planting some Brandywine tomato seeds to test the peat pots and coco coir medium a week before planting my seeds. Right away I disliked the coco coir pots and ordered some seedling trays. I left the tomatoes in their pots to grow. Week 1 Saturday my brother came over and we planted four seeds; 3 GSC (Nirvana) and 1 Seedsman Blueberry. One of the GSC seeds must have been planted with the root upside down. It tried to correct itself and ended up poking out of the soil. I decided to throw it out since it looked more delicate than my hands can handle. No big deal, I had two more seeds I could plant. Unfortunately, I ended up pouring them down the drain along with the water softening them. The water method is useless and can lead to loss of product if not careful. I can't imagine the wives' tales and folklore that went into that nonsense. If one cannot germinate seeds directly into seedling mixture, they should probably throw those seeds into the garbage and use a seed hearty enough to germinate. I have grown all sorts of herbs and vegetables and not once have I encountered this. And it pisses me off I threw money down the drain. The first week was 18 hour lights on quickly sprouting those seedling heads. I believe there was not enough light which caused the seedlings to stretch for the light. I would need to solve this issue quickly.
