First try at starting seeds

[Locrian99]

So after the family all left and the little man hit the sack I decided to start my seeds for my 2nd grow. Placed two Aurora Indicas, 1 Wonder Woman and 1 Girl Scout cookies all from nirvana in rapid rooters, placed in a propagation tray and covered with a dome. Placed on a seedling mat and am giving them a go (this seemed like the method with the least potential for human error.) Been monitoring the humidity and temp in there. Temp seems good low 80s the humidity I’m having a bit more of a challenge with. It spiked to 99 so I kind of shifted the dome then it dropped into the mid 30s. Trying to find a happy medium though I imagine as long as the rapid rooters done become water logged or don’t dry out it’s fine. I’ll post updates on the progress. I’m nervous lol

Seems like u got enough info to do it right patience is big now and at the end of flower but honestly I still hate the time between germination and then poping up out the coco. The suspense!

[Canyon Grower]

Agree, two tough times, sprouting and flower.

Hey 99, yeah ,its fun aint it,? Especially when you get a good one, good luck with yours, i bet you do fine.

That's how I germinate 100 percent sucess rate. within 48 hrs u will see somthing I like to tear the corner off of the rr to cover the hole.

[abadtrip]

U will be fine only add water to the rr if it's dry I like to add water to the tray to keep the humidity up usually it's so foggy I cannot see through the dome

[Locrian99]

K good to know was a bit worried at that point it was too humid

[Locrian99]

Glancing at your grow journal I think it was from you that I read the corner thing. 😀

[Locrian99]

Bit worried the humidity caused the rooters to be too damp left for work and it was 99% in there and 88 degrees when I got home. Looking pretty wet I’m going to leave the dome off for a bit let some of this moisture evaporate.

[Locrian99]

I feel like a dotting parent

[oldjarhead100]

Locrian I only leave the dome on until the seeds pop out of grow medium then I take it off ,

[Potted]

I find if u don’t remove the dome after thay pop, thay remain to wet and drown! My2$

[Locrian99]

They haven’t popped yet, at about 36 hours.

[Locrian99]

I tore off a chunk and plugged the hole I’ll go inspect again when I get home. Trying not to look too much, makes me want to interfere lol

[D.A.A.S.69]

As long as the chunk ain't glued on it ought to work, as long as you didn't put them in to far.

[Locrian99]

I think they got too hot. I can see what looks like a taproot on the gsc and 1 AI down in rooter. I’m going to leave the mat unplugged still seems like plenty of moisture. Hopefully I just slowed them all down.

[Locrian99]

60 hours in nothing has came out of the rooter yet. I am thinking they got too hot they did germinate they look like I haven’t touched them but I’m looking in the hole I can see the seeds all split and 2 have decent sized sprouts. Worried that it getting to 97 in there killed them. Just gotta wait it out a bit more I suppose

[D.A.A.S.69]

Put a couple of drops of water on the rooter if it's dry.

[Locrian99]

Checked them before coming to work nice and moist. Went a mind bought a heat bulb like you’d use for chicks and have the temp humidity much more controlled. What I get for going cheap on the heat mat. Hoping I just delayed the sprouting. If I don’t see more tomorrow I’ll probably pop a couple more.

[Locrian99]

Here we go, finally a little action.

[oldjarhead100]

thank god right lol , the lesson here is that it takes a little longer for some seeds to start good job and good luck

[Locrian99]

Seriously I was ready to start more 3/4 are full on up and you can see 4 looks like she’ll be up today.

[Locrian99]

[Locrian99]

I pulled the rapid rooters shocked one of the aurora indicas had an inch and a half long root coming out the bottom! Two others were as well the Wonder Woman is still lagging behind but she working her way up it looks like. They were just transferred to solo cups with FFOF that I added about 20% more perlite to. I think I will start a grow journal for these ladies.
