Overnight both popped so into the soil they went. The “soil” is just plain promix that I sifted, I’ll be misting the soil with straight tap water for now. Light is just one of my screw-in 5000k 15w led inside of my baby plant box.

I was going to repaint the box but ran out of time. It is just a 14”x10”x22” plastic tote turned on its side.

#576 - Day 2

ON YOUR MARK - Preparing 'Instant' Kelp Meal, 1/4 cup Kelp Meal to 1/2 cup distilled H20
TUGC2019-4.jpg

Leaving the mixture to set, about 30 minutes

The mixture was then run through a blender. I found I had to add more distilled water. The jar is labelled to make sure nobody mistakes it for leftovers - it's stored in the fridge.

Some of the bubble-coated seeds just rose back to the surface.

After Soaking my seeds in RO water for 24 hours, I got my cups ready to receive the seeds by first labeling them with the name of the strain and competition info. Then I place a hole in the center of the bottom of the cup for drainage.

When filling the cups I take care not to compact the soil and filling them 2/3 - 3/4 of the way with Roots Organics Original.

I use a metal chopstick to make a 1-inch deep hole in the center of each cup placing one seed in each predesignated cup griping each seed lightly. If a seed falls short of the hole, I use the chopstick to get it to the 1-inch depth.

I then spray each cup 10 full sprays of RO water with the purpose of closing the hole containing the seeds. spraying at different angles towards the center of the cup does this quite well.

Now I will cover the cups with a humidity dome and its lights off for 48 hours. The single Critical Orange Punch would not fit under the same dome, So I will use its seed starting cup to block any light and keep humidity up. I mist the inside of the dome to raise the humidity rapidly.

#121.

I trimmed a few lower leaves on the clones.
They seem to be in good shape.

Of my 14 seeds 8 are 1 1/2 years old and have popped quickly in the past.
2 are about 3 or 4 years old.
The other 4 are older going back maybe 6 years.
The 6 old seeds will be given at least 2 weeks before I consider giving up on them or digging one out.
Most of the younger ones should pop in 4 or 5 days.
I figured this comp would be a good time to start the older ones because I'll be focused.

Between the 14 seeds I am looking for a special trait.
Leaves like the one pictured below that give the expression it shows. It happens about 15%-20% of the time with the 8 newer seeds I planted so I should get one this grow.

Note: One picture has a small #121 in the corner. Thought I forgot the paper then saw it was in the corner so it should be OK.

I'm showing 2 pics below with a #121 simply to show what my goal is. Not sure what the rule is for showing plants that are not actually part of the comp in this thread. If it's not cool let me know in the other thread and I'll edit or they can be deleted.

Really??? You show genetically modified 13-toed plants and don't expect outrage??? LOL That is some cool shit!

My plain-old plants are now triggered and it will affect my vote for you! :)

Seriously though @Kushash, I wondered the same thing when I posted the "split-cup" pics. I think we are all here to learn stuff (and kick your deformed plants ass!) and we can have fun here but keep the "pics" thread only for the required photos and descriptions. Just my opinion.
