here I go with my 3rd journal, I decided to germinate the 5 ak47 seeds I had and what do you know....they all sprouted.
Angie and Althea sprouted on 4/20
Sadie and Michelle sprouted on 4/21
Grace sprouted on 4/22
here are some pics of the first few days of their lives...
Temps are about 75º and humid between 55/58%, growing under a couple of daylight cfls and a fan running, they are getting light 24/7 but I might switch to 18/6 soon, I'll feed them nutes in a very low dose in about 2 weeks

they are just peat pellets, I made sure I ripped the wrapping a little to allow roots to grow and not get stuck, it was an easy peel off

I'm watchin this one. My next grow is gunna be hempy bucket so this should be fun.

First question... its cool to put the peat pellet into the hempy cups, right? It won't mess with the PH or hold too much moisture right?

Hey Bain - I wondered about that too, but it's kool to start with the peat pellets or even rockwool cubes - I've used both and they work great!

I noticed on other plants that the pellet will run off little by little , I dont like to bother the young roots, I did take off the net that wraps it.....
