Wishing you a safe and Merry Christmas!

The seeds have been in their rockwool cubes for just over 2 days now and overnight all 6 seeds have poked through and are at various stages of growth.  Some are growing more vigorous than others with the OG breaking through the rockwool first.  All 3 of these seedlings have shown different growth rates with 1being tall and the other 2 growing slower.

Now that all 6 seeds have sprouted and the white sprout is visible they are ready to be moved into their growing medium and humidity dome. The white rootlet grew quicker and longer on all 3 OG while the MK still had strong, healthy growth but those sprouts are a bit smaller and not as uniform.

The rockwool had been conditioned and soaked the previous day.  They came with pre-drilled holes, but we had to use a skewer to make the holes wider and deeper for the roots to fit and so there wouldn’t be any root damage from bending.

The medical marijuana seeds are still on top of the fridge and a small amount of distilled water was poured very gently over the paper towel to prevent it drying out.  All 6 seeds have begun sprouting their tap rootlet and growth is looking healthy and vigorous.

Today we are taking a few hours to get the growing area, lighting and the growing medium ready for the next stage.  The growing medium that we are starting with is rockwool blocks.  The rockwool was soaked in a conditioning mix until it was completely saturated and then left in a clean container ready for tomorrow.
