Sample seed testers above provided by GreanBicycles (1st annual Medical Cup Sativa winner)

~All water is reverse osmosised and chloramine & chlorine free.~
The seeds started their germination stage in a cup of water.

All seeds that drop to the bottom of the cup are put in wetted paper towels.

UPDATE: 25 HOURS LATER - ALL BEANS DROPPED AND ARE IN TOWELS
Here's my Merlin Reverse Osmosis System down low to have pure water without chlorine & the Hydro-Logic Tall Blue up high for removing chloromines since my area uses chloromines instead of chlorine [which you can just boil out or let sit out], do your research on your area!) :banghead:
*Forgive the tube tangle and dirty Merlin, fresh paint and just getting it mounted again & clean for this start from a near ground zero test grow*
I lost 95% of my equipment & supplies due to a Family dispute and fear of authorities getting involved with me & other patients medical needs. :bag:

The whole reason to using chloromine/chlorine free water is to not be killing the beneficial fungi and bacteria in your soil that you want to build up for a healthy root zone & successful garden! Think of your soil as a living thing whether you grow organic or not, always helps. Bigger roots, bigger plants, bigger yields.... :greedy:
Indoors it's about having quality meds that are healthy, getting the cheapest grams per watt ratio (another way to look at it is cheapest THC or CBD per watt ratio). Can't forget keeping your environment healthy also. Sustainable gardening is always best as long as it pans out cost wise. :bookworm:
I've gotten 2-3 runs on the same soil not re-amended fine with minimal yield decreases, sometimes the 2nd run on the same soil is better! The most I've pulled was without CO2 was 2.25lbs per 1000w with Maui Wowie (if I remember right) using Cutting Edge Solutions base nutes & my own program I developed. :blackalien:
This grow I've planned doing 100% FULL ORGANIC to Clean Green specifications for I'm working at getting certified in the future when I have the funds. I'll be asking to test the GreanBicycles A-Z Program or Nectar of the Gods nutrient lines from locals since both are 100% organic. If I were to spend the money without testing them I would go towards the GreanBicycles A-Z Program for the cost factor for sure. :writing:

I sprayed the walls and ground with a 10% Bleach to 90% Water solution in my Atomizer for a sterile start.

Here's their starting area, working on intake air, outtake air, and carbon filter ASAP now. Will update if thats done or when seeds start popping in the paper towels! The starting soil is 1 bag Roots Organic Formula 707 to 15 liters of Fox Farm Chunky Perlite.

The pots above are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" which I plant in first whether seeds or clones.
Here's budporn from another sample I was blessed with (don't know the strain but like it :dead:).

2 days ago I got another gallon of white paint and painted up the flaws, and am finishing the full wall (over half is done atm) then will try to squeeze in painting the ceiling with another gallon.
Also I noticed quite of bit of seeds popping in the paper towels and they went FAST, some hardy good seeds that definitely are not old. Here's the pictures below! - Accidently deleted the UKxTahoe

Yesterday I started planting in pots, any with roots the size of half the width of a fingernail as easy judgement. My judgement seems I made the holes about 1/4-1/2 inch deep. I pointed the taproot down, and filled the topsoil around gently over it so it naturally drops down around seed so soil is disturbing the taproot minimally, and slowly watered them in with filtered water.

For ease of labeling phenos, I made: A the [UK Cheese X Jack The Ripper], B [UK Cheese X Tahoe Kush], C [OG Kush X Tahoe Kush], and D [Sour Grape X Vortex].

A1-A7 planted yesterday, still waiting on A8's taproot to pop out.
B1-B11 planted yesterday, still waiting on B12-B13 taproots to pop out.
C1-C9 planted yesterday, C10-C11 planted today (finished planting all).
D1-D22 planted today (all!).

Here's how they looked before planting today:

But it seems the last 2 UK Cheese crossed seeds wanna stay in their seed longer... :bored: Maybe it's just me. But 51 out of 54 seeds germinated, in the soil, and B (UK Cheese X Tahoe Kush) already starting to peep out can't beat that! :D The runoff water was 6.1 pH and 1450 ppm (I have not been able to calibrate it in months, note that).

They are all lighted by a single 54watt T-5 until most seeds are above ground, under the 18/6 cycle.
