thatā€™s awesome, good luck guys.

this reminds me of being on a small forum back in 2011 or so. the host sent everyone 1 feminized seed (in that case it was tangerine dream) and we all grew them out at the same time. pretty cool.

Mine were cracked, tails starting and went in dirt 24 hours after they hit water :grin:


Hahahaha

This is the first time I dropped them in HOT water and then kept them on a heat mat, I havenā€™t kept the water warm in the past, they seemed to like it :person_shrugging::grin:. This is also the first grow Iā€™m putting them into coco/peat expandable blocks instead of rockwool.

It is starting to heat up, grab your popcorn people and strap in for the ride. This is sure to be a nail biter.

I was surprised how fast they popped with hot water vs no heat. Will definitely do this now on. Im already out of town for work again and wont be home till tomorrow and that when the beans will be planted.

Nail biter indeed

Planted tomorrow night?? I hope theyā€™re okā€¦ Thatā€™s actually why I switched to peat this run, tap roots seem to die on me recently :person_shrugging:

Since getting home I planted 2/3 beans into living soil. The 3rd 1 only split the shell but never emerged.

I donā€™t know why, but that always makes me sad :person_shrugging:

Right on man, weā€™re off!! :metal::metal:This is always the most stressful part to meā€¦ Until theyā€™re up and into veg, I stress constantly, hahaha

Of the 2 seedlings 1 is up ans out of the soil. Little fat leaf thing and the 2nd is just being lazy and staying on the soil. She was still wearing her helmut so I removed it. The cot leaves are mighty vellow but I think now that the light is on her things may change. The stem is firm so she hasnt damped off so Im optimistic. Just wanted to leave a little update as this will be the last one for a week on anything plant related.

Right on man, sounds like 2/3 are running solid for ya, thatā€™s perfect :ok_hand:

The cot leaves on one of mine are a little yellow too, hope itā€™s nothing serious.

Lol, do you have a camera setup to be able to watch them remotely? Sadly, I have 3, and Iā€™m looking for a couple more :joy::person_facepalming::person_facepalming::person_facepalming:

No I dont have any cameras that are already is use. IF ONLY I WOULD HAVE KNOWN TO KEEP THE BABY MONITOR. Then all crisis would be avoided. Going to add a little air pump to add in some fresh air under the clone dome.

I picked up a bunch of these ā€œYi Homeā€ cameras a few years back for super cheapā€¦ tonight Iā€™m going to see if I can write an app thatā€™ll pick up the video stream from the cameras so they can work like a webcam for me :smiley:. These things have been sitting in a box for 2 years, I never thought Iā€™d have a use for them again, lol.

Almost missed my Sunday check-in!

2 of the 3 are coming along, albeit a little slower than Iā€™d likeā€¦ But I think thatā€™s my doing. The third got a little too humid, but the lid is over top but held up with some hydroton.
