I went to smoke a bowl but filled my pipe in the dark.

I ended up filling the wrong end.
(yeah, I'm already drunk and stoned. Lol)

I couldn't figure out why it took so damn much weed to fill the bowl. Lol

Now I have to figure out how to empty the tube and stuff it in the right end. Lol

 

[exploziv]

Hahaha! Good one!

 

[PCBuds]

Hahaha! Good one!

I used my automotive dental pick to clear the tube.

It's designed to remove automotive clips, O-rings or weed from a glass tube. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

She might shed her helmut all by herself ??

The cuticle that is under the seed hulls, "the embrionic sack" needs to be kept moist to help them break through. I sometimes even use my nail to take it off faster. But you have to be very careful not to out any pressure on the young seedling or you will break and kill it.
Imo, this happens because of seed not planted deep enaugh, they usually came out clean when they are planted at about 1 to 2 cm deep, laying on the flat side (if possible).

That's why I sprayed my plant and planter with water...

I've done that before and ripped the head off my sprout. Lol

Yeah, I've killed a few. Lol

I made myself a pair of "helmut removal tools" out of a couple of push pins...

If I would have planted my sprout 1 to 2 cm deep, I would have dug her up by now and ripped her head off in the process. Lol


If I would have planted her laying sideways, I would have ripped her tap root off while removing her lid. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

So,..
No more spritzes, or sprays, or water anymore.

She can just go ahead and drill her tap root down 15" to find water.

Awwww baby pictures.

 

[exploziv]

Looking good!

Hourly update photo. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

I think that she might have scoliosis. Lol

Maybe she is just stretching after she woke up. Lol

 

[PCBuds]

My buds have been drying for 4 days so I weighed them and jarred them.

I ended up with 133.7 grams.

So, not that bad at all.
That doesn't even include the main cola.
I'm pretty sure that they are very close to fully dry.
The house has been at about 50% RH.

I'll keep an eye on the jar.
There is 2 big Boveda packs in the jar.

I think it's usually better not to dig into it, then the seedling seems to me more prone to root rot, probably due to mechanical damage..(?)

I have a hard time just leaving the damn thing alone and waiting a few days for it to pop the surface.
That's why I didn't bury it beneath the soil.

The push pins are hooked so I can hook onto the shell on both sides to remove it.
It didn't damage the sprout.

I've always helped my sprouts get their helmuts off.

 

[PCBuds]

She's got her first set of leaves showing.

 

[PCBuds]

She's straightening up.

I decided to unscrew a bulb, so now the closet is being heated with 100 Watts.

She no longer has her helmut on so I can leave her alone now.

She needs to toughen up and get used to her environment ?

The top of the "soil" was pretty dry, so I sprayed it down with water.

She's looking healthy, so I decided to make her do some push-ups.
She needs to Butch up. Lol
