Bless you my brother! That looks absolutely brutal! Do you just stock up on concentrates and food and never leave the house? I cant imagine. Much love and warm thoughts.

No on the 9lb Hammer beans, but I do possess some of the others. If you want, come on over and I’ll set you up.
That is, if @LED_Seedz doesn’t mind you doing a bit of testing “double duty?”
Stay hazed

So judging by the others germ rates looks like the PO did us in on these. I can send you more if you are okay with the late start. Up to you?

We have two more nights of below freezing temps and then a warming trend finally. I have been turning the heat mat on and off manually keeping the temp above 70 on the seedlings. They are still thriving. I have had to water them twice so far with the RH running so low. I mist them when the RH spikes low. I put a fan on them and it seemed to drop the temps around them even more so I turned it back off for now.
When it warms up some next week I will get them onto the veg table. For now the small T5 fixture puts out more heat for them.
Have a great weekend folks!

It might seem a surprise, but half of the threads are referring to this damn cold.
Nice counter measures.

took a photo tonight and with the aid of the modern pocket computer camera i now see a lil more activity on the 2nd cube from the right in the front row at day 7 as i thought it was no more so i dunked all of them in some ph 5.7 water with some algen extract added in for good measure, it’s by house and garden (root food) the far cubes were inverted for two days before i noticed them Doh now i see roots at the top of the cubes on the bluedream x choc trip. (far two)

We’ve been running ~120w of leds on 18/6 so far, but temperatures have been a little low, so another ~210w of florescent tubes were added in lieu of a heater.
Everyone was topped at the third node and left with six branches – Except Joanne and Kate, who are still too small. The hormone-rich growth tips were ground into a rough paste, with brown sugar and the whole Lima bean plant. A couple grams of this paste went into a kilo of warm water and was foliar fed to the plants, while the rest of the paste was set aside to ferment.
Four girls have a sensitivity that I’m attributing to the cold – Madonna, Mary, Crystal, and Emily – but that conclusion might change as more information comes in. Everyone else is really quite happy.
Some fan leaves from 4-6 weeks ago turned into these beautiful, little, fluffy pillows of mycelium. I gently broke them down and folded in a couple tablespoons of plain-old oats, then scratched them into the top of the soil.
Edit: The ladies after haircuts
Joanne was still too small to top.

Test Grow Update
The babies have really grown over the last week. All look very similar and uniform except for #8. It was the last one to pop up a day after all the others and has a smoother, more rounded-leaf appearance and is growing slower than all the others. Sometimes the runt can be that special one, right?
They received their 3rd watering Wednesday night when moved to the veg table under 4’ flouro tubes. Another cold blast just hit again today with a colder blast next week. I have put a small ceramic heater under there to keep temps up.
P.S. I tried to determine the sex of the seeds I planted via methods I’ve seen on Youtube and other forums. If there’s anything to it, #1-#6 should be female and #7 & #8 should be males. I am now noticing that they are slightly different than all the others. Time will tell.
Have a great weekend folks!
