4 on the floor - 12/12 from seed

OranguTrump

Just put 4 beans into peat pellets, after soaking for 2 days. 2 had tails. FMS C99, FMS WW x BB, FMS Iced Grapefruit & Nirvana Super Skunk (fem). They'll be in separate rubbermaid tubs, under a 400w hps. My tent is a 24x48x60. 4" carbon scrubber w/ 130cfm fan. 4" net pots w/ hydroton. Streaming web cam to monitor remotely.

The fun part?

My 90 year old Dad is managing my grow @ his place, as growing where I am isn't possible. His idea. Since the legalization happened here, the folks have been 100% pro-weed - Dad has green thumb & thought the canna would be excellent/productive hobby.

The kicker?

A 12/12 from seed grow.

Much appreciated. :tiphat:

Dad said 3 of 4 are up - some of those beans were 5+ yrs old. Quick sprout after 36 hour soak. I know for sure the Super Skunk is one that is up (it was first).

Everything is being assembled tomorrow - pics as I work, promise.

Couple hours today at Dad's - setting up is tough work lol.

Pics attached. Tent up, light up, fan/filter attached. Tubs ready. Water is sitting, used aquarium water treatment to dispel chlorine & precipitate the chloramine. Air pump & lines ready. The 3 sprouts are WWxBB, C99 & Super Skunk. Waiting on the Iced Grapefruit. Finishing the setup tomorrow.

Starting to see some roots poking thru net pots. The Iced Grapefruit seems to be stalled at cotyledons, but I'll give it some time. Some leaf irreg's on both C99 & Super Skunk. WW x BB is biggest & cleanest leaf definition. Bubblers working great - love dwc. Light is approx 18" away from seedlings. Gonna add some nutes starting next week. Tubs drop to 63F during lights off - rise to 71F during lights on. 12/12 is on at night for cheaper rates.
Next on list is couplings for air lines, so I can have sep disconnect for each tub - plus, the lids are just sitting on top, this will allow holes thru lids (less H2O loss).

First feed today! Mixed some grow nutes/micro nutes at little better than 50% strength, replaced all 3 tubs with fresh nutes water. Should see some difference soon. Roots coming in nicely. Culled the runt - started a new Iced Grapefruit to replace it.

Made it over to Dad's to check the tent - none of us had been in since the first feeding. Holy shit - they went from seedling to small plants in less than 1 week! The replacement Iced Grapefruit is up, I helped it shed last part of shell stuck to it's cotydelons.

The WW x BB is biggest & bushiest, the C99 is second & the SuperSkunk a close third. The roots are coming along nicely

Left to right WW x BB, SuperSkunk & C99 :woohoo:

I'm thinking there's a seed problem with the Iced Grapefruit - 2nd bean is also stalling at the coty stage, no sign of second leaves.
My Dad was beaming - he thinks this is awesome - "beautiful plants" "they grow so fast".

Your dad is a prince, at 90 years, I bet he has a wealth
of experience to bring to this grow, mad props to the both of you!

What kind of work did he do back in the day, and did he serve in the armed forces

Subbed.

Thanks! He was an office guy, but grew orchids and roses for years. Blue ribbons galore. He served in his youth, not North America, not in WW2.
