hey man, I soaked them and did not sink them I waited for tiny tap white tap roots, then i use cotton pad method but only for like 24 hours or it will be too long and they will germinate too much
I believe they call that float tech, an excellent method.

You got this. Keep it simple and dont love them to death.

Ive been growing with salts for years. Just harvested some Chem Fuego from a flood and drain system, got some mango haze flowering in organic coots style soil that just get water. My biggest piece of unsolicited advice is to keep it simple. The megacrop one part is good shit, gh flora is tried and true, I love jacks formula even if it is high in N, and growing in a well balanced soil is so easy its actually tedious (mind you, I havent perfected any of these methods)

Dont stress. Once youve reached harvest, no matter how fucked up or amazing the plant is, you will be marijuana grower, and you will have that pin in your cap for the rest of your life. Enjoy the ride and keep us posted.

Good.

Imo at this stage, if they're not dead or dying, they're doing fine.

They will grow those leaves nice and big, then things might slow a little while the roots really start to spread, and then (if the genetics are there) it will take off.

genetics are there, clearwater genetics beans! Dope, seedling and flower im most worried about. so im glad im doing this right. I guess spending hours everyday reading and watching videos and taking notes paid off..

the big one is in Light Warrior.. It has been in there for 6 days.. fox farms says to feed after 5 but I dont think it needs it yet.. what do you think?
Brother my guess is as good as yours. I hate packaged bag soils and would never buy them. My approach is to create my own soil with just the things I want and the microbial activity I want to achieve the results I am looking for. Also hate hydroponics I feel like I would be growing plastic or something unnatural. You do you my g this is my way I call it Synganicrobial G method

(I just made that up but its hilarious haahah I am definitely calling it like that now)
Why can't I like my own comment this is too good ahahha

oh crap last question, you think i should still have the humidifier in there? i have them at like 72-75% rn should i lower it yet?
whats the temp? what humidifier are you using?
I use the ac infinity one and its great because I set it on vpd which is what actually matters, 1.1 for veg. Roughly for a 1-1.1 vpd if you should have 88F as temperature which is too high, I suggest you invest 80 bucks for it, you also need the ac infinity monitor tho, but so many problems will never appear. you need something that will regulate vpd for you also because if you have 1.1 vpd during day at 67% and lets say your temp is 83,when dark cycle comes and temp will drop but you still have that high humidity set at 67% now if the temp is 70f you vpd will be 0.6-0.7 and plants can't breath therefore can't grow and also you risk mold, powdery mildew and its just no optimal in general.

That said you can keep the vpd at 0.8-0.9 for another 3-4 days imo then I would have a week at 1.0 and then would stick at 1.1 for remaining of veg
