To start off, I would like to say thanks again Hammer, for letting me test some more of your killer beans!:tiphat: They have been a favorite here locally, since I've started growing your stuff. They have helped me purchase equipment, keep it running, pay my bills, and essentially keep doing what I love instead of getting another soul-crushing 9-5. So, thanks again buddy, and thanks to all of you other fellow icmaggers who have helped me along the way!

On 5/22/21, 12 seeds went into Grodan cubes with a pH of 6, and under the dome.

Here we are on 5/26, the first signs of life are appearing... They are 12" below a 30w 5000k 4' L. E. D. shop light , getting about 35ppfd.

Stretch is minimal. They will be going into a mix of coco, perlite and worm castings today (7:1:1). Then they'll be under the HLG 135 Bspec for an agonizing month or so, lol! I'll keep you all updated weekly or as anything changes. Thanks for stopping in, I'll try not to shit the bed!

In their new homes.... I ran 1/2c water (pH 6.9 with 57ppm tds), through 1c of the new media and got 6.6 pH and 240ppm in the run-off. So it should be within optimal range. Now the waiting game....

Here they are at two weeks, all still kicking, but a few needed to be propped up. They stretched a bit, but I'd rather have not enough light than too much for this stage. I've nuked tons by trying to keep them compact, when they can just be up-potted deeper.

I wish I had a better update than this, but I recently got Rice Root Aphids. I gave all of my plants a spray and root drench of Organocide and Neem oil. None took it well, and the seedlings probably the worst. I gave them Recharge yesterday and up-potted them to 1/2 gallon containers today. As I was transplanting, I didn't see any root aphids, but we shall see. There was also some new, healthy root growth. Here they are after their horrific ordeal:(

There are a few fighters, so hopefully I can turn the tides. I am going to get some Beauveria Bassiana to hopefully end the scourge.

Whatever survives make sure to inspect them well. I was doing my inspection today and found 1 plant with a few nuts. This is def from the white Truffle genetics. My p40 is solid.

OK, will do! They will be thoroughly stress tested, so I'd kind of be surprised if none did. I'll do a clone run under better conditions, if I can eradicate these bastards. Beauveria Bassiana Plus from Build a Soil on the way....

Looks good, buddy! I've got a couple weeks until the testers root, and a few more until I can get some clones into flower. I haven't given up, though! How much stretch have you been getting? If I can go straight from rooted clone, that would be awesome. Most of my keepers can, but a few just stay puny and need a lot more veg time to yield anything decent.

Sorry I can't put that into word... #10 is a hash plant. #8 has more of the p40 terps.
