Exactly 48 hrs, seeing sprouts already. Seeds had no pre-soak, just sewn directly in the pre wetted cubes. Temp is running 90ish, rh 79%. One is upside down so far, but it should right itself and be all the tougher...

Lucky bugger I got no sprouts yet 🤞 I did plant my seeds deep in the starters though as they have a tendency to go helmet head otherwise I’m hopin by tomorra I see some action👍

It's not luck brother, it's a proven method. Last ones I did I was 10/10, all above the surface within 72hrs 😉👍

Nice, 👍
I Believe everyone has "their way". I tried some soil indoor, wasn't great but still smokin on it. Hopefully till next cure.

Learned everything Hydro from my Pop's 3 rooms each had flood an drain. Plus a clone room. '04. The good ole days. If I had the space or land I would probably have more issues than I do now..

What issues are you having?

"My way" as you called it, is
capable of pulling 10lbs out
of a 3x9' area, 8' high ceilings.

I'm trying to match it, in a 4x8'
tent, with lights fast mounted
to the tent ceiling. 👍😄

Day 4

Cali Blues are kicking ass, 4/5 so far.
The rest have at least 1 up, and more
on the way that I can see

I swapped the dome to one with 4
holes for hopefully a little less heat
and more air flow for the ones above
ground 👍 🥰

Space, I think I can pull 10oz indoors before winter. I got an early 🎁 @ the PObox today. I can drop that in my drink, take a few hits, an finally get an accurate reading!! I am very excited 😆

I just got one of those that looks very similar. It might be from the same factory. I haven't tried it yet. I haven't even read the instructions. I have another that tests soil and water pH that does most of what I need to do. This one was free from Amazon Vine, so I decided to give it a try (when I have time to do so.)
