Well done woolybear I always disinfect my beans in hydrogen peroxide too. And love rapid rooters they're the only plugs I'll ever use for my cuttings, never used em for seeds I just use peat pellets they work great and they're dirt cheap. I ordered some gavitas yesterday so these testers will be some of the first grown under those, along side of my faves. They'll be vegged under a 600 watt m.h

5 of mine have popped and are now in 4" rockwool cubes. A couple of them had taproots.

Of the rest, 3 are peeking and 2 and no-shows. Fun times

edit: now the 5 remaining are peeking out. I'll put them in rw tomorrow.

Here's the garden:



they are basking under an old 300w LED. Look at the stretch already on the lil guys.

Still debating the lighting schedule. I'm thinking of 12/12 from seed, which would be convenient as the tent they are in is in flower at the moment.

I'll probably end up keeping them in the 4" blocks and maybe even do rockwool slabs, dutch style like sammy. going to need to setup a tub for that.

Depends on how much tent space I have. I'm doing 12/12 from seed with these plants so its a natural fit to place them in the LED flower tent... saves me from having to acclimated them to the leds later.

Here they are at day 9, a bit droopy because pic was taken right after lights on. They seem to have stopped the initial seedling stretch stage and are working on leaves. I'd say at least 50% have roots poking out of the bottom of the 4" cubes.

Haven't bought a tub for these yet, still have time before the next phase

note the one of the very left 2nd row down is the stretchiest seedling i've ever germinated. it has been growing a 1/4" every day.

i've added a desk fan pointed at the seedlings, and i've propped up the ones falling over. also treated them with a spinosdad spray, gnats are an issue with the heat. That and the fan blowing air should prevent them from gaining a foothold.

I finally started mine, the last week has been a rough one health wise I'll get some pics up soon.

I am really looking forward to seeing this cross play out. Best of luck guys.
