My second grow is on! I like what Ive read about the breeder Hazeman and his gear, and his prices are reasonable, so I decided to run Strawberry Cough, which is normally run from clones. This appears to me to be the best current option for Strawberry Cough (non-auto) seeds. I popped all 12 and they all germinated and were put into Solo cups with coco coir. They will be moved into 4-gallon hempy buckets, so I got those built. I did some playing around with drip irrigation and automating and managing drainage, and my intent is to fully automate this grow but for now I'll be hand watering/feeding. I'm using GH Flora series nutes and their drain-to-waste feed schedule. Gonna add some Ca-Mg too, but for now they're getting tap water.
I'm also trying a little experiment to see if there's anything to the internet lore that sex of plants can be foretold by seed morphology, where you identify the seeds with the "round volcano" structure on the plant end of the seed as likely females.
