Update day 9 7 of 8 Cannabis seeds have fully sprouted with success -> 87.5%. One of the RQS Shining Silver Haze didn't make it (red x). The seed was a dudd it turned dark and soft and white smear came out of it. That happens with some seeds I guess... Anyway, I removed the pellet not to leave it for mold or bugs whatever. So far one of the chilis has sprouted. As they take longer, I am giving other one more time. I will update the sprouting quote of the chilies (week 1) once I know it for sure. I continued to mist with DI-water and 0.5ml/L Alfa Boost 2-3 times per day. I aired the box 1x per day for 15 minutes. I watered them with DI-water and the listed nutrients, so to gently activate root growth and give minimal feeding. I poured off excess. Update day 10: The second chili has sprouted. So in total 9 out of 10 seeds sprouted -> 90% I will not post any pictures today, because there is not much change to be seen otherwise. Everything is looking good though. Update day 13 This morning seedlings looked very good. Still only one casualty (Shining Silver Haze; front left) Total 9/10 have spouted and shot up (7/8 cannabis and 2/2 chili). As expected, the chilis took a little longer. Two of the cannabis seedlings (orange circles), however, have still only got their baby leaves and have not shown much change over the past 2-3 days. I will keep an eye on them. Let's hope they also make it. Most of what I have been giving them so far was to optimise their environment and the soil; "EC-free" and at a very low dosage. But, I have been gradually increasing the content of "real fertilizer" with EC. My EC reads of feed solution have been: 0.34, 0.48, 0.65. I kept the pH between 5.8 and 6.3 in the feed solution. The run-off pH has been around 6.1-6.2. The rooting looks fine, 2-3 seedlings had 1-2 root tips have shot through the "pellet-sock" If they continue like this, I will put them into larger pots by the end of the week. Hopefully the first sets of real leaves will have shot out a bit more by then.
