So.... Here we are again. In the last episode, I had some fun setting up a grow and starting my mother search. I was experimenting with several things in kind of a harsh environment that was giving me constant troubles. I was also experimenting with different setup ideas. At one point, I decided to just flower the young moms and move to a more favorable location with an ideal climate, rather than a hellish one. Then, COVID had the place I wanted to move on lock-down for months. Finally, I got moved into the new spot with the ideal climate. Once I got here, I started popping seeds I had stored improperly and had terrible germ rates, and no sprouts out of like 60 seeds. So I bought all brand new genetics and they took over a month to get here.
They finally got here may 4th and I started popping beans into small solos of water. I expected to buy plain topsoil and mix it around 50/50 with perlite for my mothers the next evening. Unfortunately/fortunately, I had taproots on some of the seeds after 12-15 hours, which I did not expect. So, I decided to wait until I got the soil later to plant them. Unfortunately, I was unable to get there before they closed that day. But several taproots were getting too long, so I planted them into straight crushed compost.
On May 6th, I went and bought my soil and mixed it nearly 50/50 with the perlite. By that evening, I had many more taproots and they got planted into the soil, and the rest were pretty much planted on the 7th. Over the next few days, sprouts started popping up--actually in the soil before the compost plants. So today is May 12th, and I have the little seedlings under a 9-bulb t8 fixture. I'll go over the strains and the plan in the next post.
