Seeds came super quick and super protected. Very professional. This had better packaging than any seeds I have ever gotten before. Unless USPS smashes the package. Theyll arrive perfectly.

@Jean-O. I got you fam. I had a PH meter go down. Then had a heat wave hit. So i had to move all my photos outside. I ordered a 7k-8k btu portable AC for the tent. Im actually still waiting on the AC and I didnt want to post this until i got it and nkew this girl would live. But here you go you impatient bunch of goobers.

Its time to meet "The Duke". I have this girl growing in a 50/50 mix of Happy frog and Black Gold Organic w/ a 30% buff to the perlite. I tossed in one cup of dolomite lime to help balance the PH last time the Happy Frog soil just did its own thing and bounced all over the place and of course, I tossed in 2-3 scoops of worm castings.

Once it gets some real sets of leaves going Im going to start up the microbial mass that I have. Im going off their charts for dosage and time after the first week. So far im just using Fox Farms Big Bloom for at seedling strength (the earth worm and guano)
EOD. The BB mix PPM is really low like 99 ppm in RO water at 1/2 strength so I highly doubt it'll burn. the plant.

Before yall jump on me. Yes i know the soil looks dry. Yes I know the roots wont spread well into dry soil. It was the morning check, i was just preparing to water again. DoNT TeLl mE WhaT tO dO mOm.

It was germed on April 3rd in water PHd at 6.5. 12 hours later I tapped it and it sunk. 16 hours after starting to germ the tap root was showing.
April 4th it was planted. April 6th it sprouted.

Here is an update not much going on yet. One will be topped the other will be be left to grow natural. Very light LST is the plan.

Set up note growing under kind 6000. Organic soil 1/3 peat 1/3 compost 1/3 rice hulls plus amendment mix.

well everyone I am sorry to say none of my seeds made it. now before you go thinking it was the seeds fault this was 100% user error. basically when I was germinating the seeds after I put them in paper towels to germinate before they were planted I let the paper towels dry out and it damaged the tap roots.

this is my first total failure of a test grow and its got me feeling a bit sad. I plan on getting some rapid rooters before I try starting some seeds again because the paper towel method is just not working for me anymore. you would think after years of growing that I would have starting seeds down packed.

well goes to show you still can learn a lot

Hey thanks for chiming in! I wasn't trying to be inpatient just curious as to how it was going been a minute since I had heard from ya... Off to a good start I see. Glad you had a smooth start things look real good.

Whell that stinks. I was really hoping at least one would pull through for you. Are you interested in another shot with them? I can get them out in the mail this week if you would like to give them another go? Let me know either way I appreciate your honesty and time.

Off to the races! I like the idea of topping one and letting the other go all natural. I don't have enough vertical height to see how they do without LST or toping will be interesting to see how they grow without either.
