Here’s hoping mine show up Monday so I can join in the fun!
 
Let’s go! Can’t wait until mine arrive!!
 
Nice! I received my Rock Steady Cookies from him earlier this week, and a free sample of Triple Platinum Cookies. I'll be watching to see how your's goes. I have a few other things in my grow queue before I pop the Mendels.
 
We have liftoff! 2 day update.

The seed got a 20hr presoak in a shotglass of plain water and placed on my router to stay warm. Then into the Jiffy pellet at around noon this past Saturday. I had a sprout by yeseterday evening. I did not see anything in the AM when I checked but by the evening it was full on exploded!

I would say after the 20hr presoak it took between 72-80 hours to fully germinate.

I'm calling Tuesday 10/5 Day 1

Day 1 : 10/5

Sprout! And check out the length on that taproot. Whoa!

3.5 gal airpot. I like to line the bottom with unfolded, unbleached coffee filters. Helps keep the soil from spilling out. This got loaded with Biobizz Light Mix soil.

Day 2 : 10/6 Seedling is in the tent.

Soil was presoaked with ~3L of distilled water.

I mixed a gallon with:
5ml of General Organics BioRoot
20ml of BioAg Ful-Power
1/8tsp BioAg Vam
pH adjusted to 6.4 and 90ppm final numbers.

Trying a new myco product from BioAg called VAM. Instructions called for 1/4tsp per gallon for seedlings but I read mixed reviews on blending into water and applying dry to the root zone and watering in. I split the VAM 1/8tsp into the gallon of water and 1/8 tsp dry under the pellet when transplanted.

Environment is currently 78.7F and 74%RH which according to https://vpdchart.com puts things at 0.68kPa, seedling stage should be 0.4-0.8 so looking good I think.
Thanks to @tronN00dles for the website link! I had been trying charts and other sites but this one is pretty easy to understand.

Day 8 : Start of week 2 - Changed lighting to 18/6 starting tomorrow AM. Bumped to 40% intensity and raised slightly. I should go measure...... Not as spindly looking as usual but bent stem again.

Day 14 : End of week 2. Nice bit of growth over the last week compared to the above post. Pot still heavy from the initial presoak.

Additions:
600ml R/O water
50ppm Protekt
250ppm Foliage Pro
pH adjusted to 6.3
276 final ppm
Mixed in 1/16 tsp BioAg VAM.

Light intensity increased to 50% and RH bumped down. Holding at 76f and 73%rh for a 0.65kPa, I think this is still seedling stage (0.4-0.8) for a few more days but going to try and bring the rh down slow and let the vpd rise towards 0.8 over the next week.


Full shot: 4th node just starting to peek

Pretty tight in there, some side branches forming already.
