THE GROW DETAILS seeds:
One Feminized Pure Power Plant (PPP)
One Big Bud
One Unknown from bank
Three Bag seed
After the second week, only RO water was used
Note: The only females and survivors turned out to be the Big Bud, the unknown which looks like Big Bud so I am calling it Big Bud and the single PPP.

PRE:
The germination -
Soaked paper towel with tap water
Placed seeds on towel, folded and placed in sealed plastic bag on top of computer tower (for warmth).
While I waited for germination cleaned and prepped hydro system with Flora Shield
Filled back up reservoir with tap water

24 HOURS LATER
Big Bud, Unknown, and one bag seed cracked
24 HOURS LATER
PPP cracked and PPP, Big Bud, Unknown and one bag all showing taproot
Placed in Rapid Rooter pellets and put in tray with humidity dome under florescent lights.
24 HOURS LATER
PPP, Big Bud, Unknown and two bag seed showing cotyledons and one other bag is showing taproot through bottom of rapid rooter
