New Grower Hog's First Perpetual Garden

[Hog_M@Gundy]

Getting the seeds in the soil tonight. Yesterday I watered the earthboxes with RO water + Recharge + Yucca Extract and let them sit overnight in the tent.
Today i got my @Marshydro. SP 150 and my @Jean-O Root Beer Float seeds. I didnt need to use Light Warrior for seed starting but I had success with it before and a bunch leftover. So, I dug out a small hole in each, put about 2-3tsp Mykos in each hole, then filled them in with LW.

Then I lightly watered again with Recharge and Yucca. Next, left them in the tent under the light for about 8 hours.
I soaked the seeds for 2.5 hrs

Then they will be planted 1/4 inch deep and lights out for 18 hrs before turing on an 18/6 schedule.

Samsquanch is the first out of the gate, and I can see Root Beer Float just starting to wriggle its way above ground!

CDLC popped up last night and RBF is visible but not yet up. Lights out in an hour, so ill call it Day 1 when they come back on.

 

[Hog_M@Gundy]

Everyone popped up, but RBF is going kinda wonky, its got helmet head and seems like its tap root got confused and grew the wrong way? Just gonna assume it will work itself out in time.

 

[Hog_M@Gundy]

RBF still fighting its way up and out of its shell, ill give it a bit longer before I remove it myself.

CDLC looking solid

Samsquanch struggling, might drop my other one and see if it fares better..

 

[Hog_M@Gundy]

RBF got too damaged from the tap root sticking out of the soil. I'll drop another in a couple days. CDLC looks fine. Samsquanch is still kinda funky but I think it will be okay. Sorry no pics, phone camera isn't working

CDLC looking great. Samsquanch has been a bit of a mutant so far but seems to be out growing it. RBF, dropped a new bean today. Straight into soil this time. Still no decent camera so no pics for now. For the first two, In the next two to three days I will do the first watering using the Earthbox bottom feed system. In two weeks ill start top dressing with BAS craft blend and build a flower

CDLC and Samsquanch have both responded well to filling the earthbox res. I probably should have done it a day or two earlier but, no harm done.
Samsquanch is about half the size of CDLC but has grown noticeably in the last 12 hours.
RBF is still germinating in the soil. No sign yet, but should be up in the next two days.

 

[Hog_M@Gundy]

RBF is up and CDLC, Samsquanch OG are trucking right along.

Creme de la Chem (12):
Steady uniform growth so far. About twice the size of SamOG, working on its 4th node. Condisering moving into the 4x4 tonight or tomorrow in order to optimize light in the 2x4 for the other 2.

Samsquanch OG (12):
After a slow start, due to slight overwatering in the beginning, SamOG is looking fine. Similar to Forum Stomper at this stage, smaller and short doesn't want to 'pray'.

Root Beer Float (3):
Seedling was looking a bit discolored but seems to be growing out of it now. Not much action up top yet.
