Nice. I’m along for the cruise bud.
One question. Why into the 5 gals after 10 days. Is the mix not hot enough to keep em in the starter very long? Just curious what you are up to lol

They grew so quick last time I know they are rootbound at 13 days with big root balls, so this time I am taking precautions.

DAY 2, exactly 24 hours after cracking open, and I pulled the plastic wrap off. All 5 Moby Dick seedlings are healthy, except for this guy!

Healthy example.

Fully purple first leaf set, yet a green stem and green coty leaves. Never seen this before, where with fungus normally the stem would be drooping, streteching & unhealthy, this stem is green, sturdy and not stretching in the slightest. I can only think I left the plastic on, And deprived them of light and or fresh air? Too much moisture after cracking? I think I left the wrapping on 24 hours after cracking, I checked pretty often during the 48 hour time in the pots to the time I discovered it purple. Hopefully tomorrow some drying out and air flow will help the situation, keeping a sharp eye and I’ll toss one before I let all 5 get ruined

Mini set up will come down and I’ll fire up the timber in 7 days!
In 7 more, I will be most likely transplanting and surely starting co2.

Taken yesterday, 1/30. Moby Dick is off to the races, except for one. Bad genetics it looks like. It will be replaced by a feminized Holy Grail Kush, which has been soaking now for around 8 hours. I always pull them before 24 hours, most crack around 18 or so.

Moby dick is coming along nicely, dropped a Holy Grail Kush from DNA genetics in the other small pot to replace the lone slow Moby seedling.
