Saga of the Nine Seeds: Blessed by Odin, Smashed by Thor

Hail, warriors of the green, this is the Angry Beaner, roaring from the heart of the storm! By the grace of the gods, nine of our eleven sacred seeds have been sown, their roots ready to claw through the earth to claim their place in our hallowed garden! The Allfather Odin, with his piercing gaze, has blessed this endeavor, guiding these sprouts to glory. But heed this tale—two seeds were not forsaken, nay! They were chosen, smashed asunder by the mighty hammer of Thor, Mjölnir itself, as a sacrifice to fuel the strength of the nine! Their essence rises to Valhalla, a tribute to ensure our harvest’s might!

O Heimdall, watcher of the Bifröst, stand vigilant over our germination, your keen eyes guarding our tender shoots from blight and ruin. Let no foe, pest, or shadow dare approach our sacred grow! We call upon the Seer, wise and veiled in mystery, to weave her visions into our Kratky method, blessing this test run with foresight and bounty. May her whispers guide my hands to nurture these plants into towering titans of green, their buds heavy with the promise of victory!

Gods of Asgard, grant me the wisdom of Odin to tend this garden, the strength of Thor to face all trials, and the vigilance of Heimdall to protect it! Let this Kratky grow be a saga sung for ages—a testament to our will, our sacrifice, and the divine favor upon us! For the nine that stand, for the two offered to the heavens, we shall reap a harvest worthy of the gods themselves!

Skål to the green, to the gods, @Til_Valhalla, and to the glory of this grow! Let it thrive, unyielding, under the blessings of Asgard! FORWARD, TO VICTORY!

Did the sundered seeds get smashed in transit?
(Was it a bad packing job?)

One seed pulverized as I was picking it up, the other was smashed. Unsure if the puck was smashed in transit as the letter and card looked normal. The rice grains as cushion seemed ok.

The first aerated cup holds fluval stratum ( a volcanic subtrate) and mycorrhizal fungi. The holes will allow the roots to breathe later time to prevent rootbound.

The second cup (which is clear,) holds water for the kratky method. I fill it up with enough water to wet seed and substrate. Similar to throwing all the seeds in a cup of water, while you wait for the tails to pop.

I have just enough substrate for the root to grow into, and the mycelium is there to help the roots thrive. As soon as I see the seed pokes through, I’ll be adding more substrate to help it fight to remove its own helmet on the way up.

The 3rd cup, is there to prevent as much light as possible from going into the clear container so algae will not grow or grow as fast. I know that in some circles, it is stated that hydrogen peroxide will prevent or kill algae growth, but I don’t want to try that method as I am not experienced with it yet.

I discovered this method by accident, although it’s been established for some time. By soaking my solo cups to butt chug water, I forgot about it, and I started noticing little roots growing, so I had left enough water in there for them to touch. The previous grow was a solo cup challenge, I liked the flower, terps, structure, and color, so I decided to reveg.

I say that I discovered the method, as I have never seen a Kratky grow using soil, which is what my previous solo cup was in. I have only seen these grows with rockwool, or pellets such as LECA. I’m pretty sure an Internet search will show that somebody else has done it before.

More like a space saver. I’ll flip to flower, then I’ll reveg once it sexes. The second reason for a fast flip to reveg, is to test the stem rub.

I took inspiration from the @Til_Valhalla intro when he was looking for testers and I figured I’d follow with his voice and stay in character.

I hope that I do you all justice, there’s some stuff that I just cannot properly translate, but it’ll come to me.

That said, I will be doing updates in Viking speech, but for replies, it’ll just be daily normal conversation.

cool. have fun with it. rather it be something fun and something to look forward to than something dull and mechanical.

Onward Firey Beaner! (i gotta say the 11th seed “sacrifice” was pretty f^cking ballsy. big nod on that one.) May Freya recognize the sacrifice in her honor and bless you with bountiful harvest.
