The Squid
Spaced-out CephaloMOD
Here we are folks! The moment you've all been waiting for!
Well...the moment that I have been waiting for
Squid's new grow>>> I am actually a couple of days into the grow and I have a ton of information that I am going to cover as well as several pictures of everything in my setup. I didn't do this on my first run so I figured I should really give you guys a good layout and pictures.
Hopefully this works out as planned. Going to try and make this grow easy to follow with all info layed out and the gear list repeated on updates to weed out repeat questions or questions in general, not that I mind, ask away, but all the basic questions will be covered by seeing the gear and specs every update, you'll see what I mean.

And just for my records, as far as I know, my grows are completely organic and vegan.
I started with nine seeds on Sat. May 5th (Super Moon)
I did a test with the soak.
1/2 soaked in plain ph 7 water and 1/2 in the same but w/ 1-2 drops BioRoot
Soaked 24 hours then into paper towels and bags and into a warm, dark spot
24 hours later 8 of 9 had tails, 1 MI5 was cracked but no tail
All soaked w/ added Bio root had noticeable increased germination growth compared to the plain water ones. The 1 MI5 with no tail was soaked in plain.
This has just been one test, but still.
All 9 were put into 18 oz party cups filled w/ straight Promix BX and a tiny pinch of powdered sulfur. And those are soaked thoroughly with ph 7 water with a light dose of Bio Root and a bit of the Black Diamond and sit for 5+ days and then partially watered with plain ph 6.5 and sit for another day before germed seeds are planted about half an inch(1.27cm) and lightly covered.
All go in the tent under the Tek lamp at about 15 inches(38cm).
All Duurty Dragons have hatched where I can see them.
All MI5 are peeking into the world, except for the one. It'll pop up soon.
Smaller clear cups were placed over the tops until I see life above mix.
So, I'm just gonna lay all of these pics out in decent order. There are pics of almost everything listed above and baby Dragons of course
