Went down on a daily basis and added water and checked for growth. Nothing! This is becoming discouraging.

My buddy came over and checked out the grow. He has had good experience with skipping the paper towel part. I opted to get all of my seeds into rock wool and into the seedling hood under the light.

The Juicy Fruit has slowed down and I’m worried something may be going wrong. I’ve added some filtered water that was ph’d to 5.8 and then filled up the dome with that same water. The Northern Lights has sprouted more, it is showing a green stem and the seed is cracked in half. In a couple more days after some more root growth I’ll move it to the rock wool. The Purple Haze hasn’t germinated. I’m starting another seed right away. I’ve ph’d filtered water to 5.8 and placed the new Purple Haze autoflower seed into the glass. I have it sitting in the darkness of my unplugged storage fridge. The Durban Poison is showing a sprout but it’s small. A few more days then into the rock wool. I’ve watered all paper towels. 80 F 90% RH in the dome.

I decided to check the Juicy Fruit plant out since it hadn’t seemed to change at all in the recent days and there was some yellow discoloration. Well, I was inspecting the plant and I was too rough with it. I killed the plant. RIP. I did however check out the root system and there was no development down there. I’ve since ph’d a glass of filtered water to 5.8 and placed a Juicy Fruit autoflower seed in. It’s now in the tent with the Purple Haze autoflower seed that’s racing my slow germinating Purple Haze seed to germination. 73 F 93% RH in the dome.

I checked on the seeds again today. All but the Purple Haze have sprouted a taproot. I’ve soaked the Purple Haze seed in SuperThrive and added more water, let’s see if that will do the trick. The Juicy Fruit plant seems to be a strong gal, she’s green today as opposed to the yellow yesterday. The light is doing its job. I’m hoping by tomorrow there’s at least a crack or small sprout on the Purple Haze seedling, otherwise I may use another seed in parallel. Durban Poison and Northern Lights have sprouted out of their seeds. I’ll be keeping an eye out for when they are ready for rock wool.

I’ve opened all the paper towels and checked the status of the seeds. All but Juicy Fruit hasn’t sprung a sprout yet. The Juicy Fruit’s root was a good 2-3 inches. I transferred it into rock wool, dug a hole in the rock wool to allow the roots to penetrate, and added a few drops of SuperThrive. Then I placed it into the heating hood. I then placed the light on a 18-6 timer to get the plant some heavy light to grow towards.

The Northern Lights and Durban Poison seeds had sank to the bottom of their cups. I thought it’d be a good time to get them in paper towel. I’ve placed them into the germination dome with the Juicy Fruit and Purple Haze. 76 F 90% RH

I’ve taken the seeds out of the 8 PH water. I dumped them onto a container that held paper towel. I drained all excess water and I’m now counting on the moisture on the towels and will be adding water periodically. I’ve also placed the container holding both seeds and paper towels into my heated seedling hood. This will raise the humidity and get the seeds prepped for their next medium, rock wool. 74 F 85% RH

The Durban Poison and Northern Lights autoflower seeds have arrived! I placed them in a cup of filtered water and marked them. Glad these 4 plants are only a few days apart. Now, off to the races!

I’ve PH’d two glasses of filtered water to 5.8. Then placed 1 seed of each into separate cups. I have them in the grow tent with the lights off. In three hours I will push the seeds to the bottom of the water. 67 F and 74% RH in the tent.

2 hours later I was getting excitable so I went down and tried to push the seeds down to the bottom of the water on the cup but they didn’t drop. I’ll try again right before I go to bed, maybe they haven’t absorbed enough water yet.

I went and checked at the 6 hour mark and I was still unable to get the seeds to drop.

I checked 16 hours later and the seeds are both sunk to the bottom. 66 F 56% RH.
