Do you have a dome to keep humidity high?
No, I don't.
The dehumidifier has been off for a couple of weeks, so the humidity is 55 to 65%.
That's higher than I usually have when I start my indoor plants.
 
Whoops, I forgot to mention, her taproot had circled around under the first layer of perlite, and couldn't figure out how to grow down, so she was probably screwed anyway.
 
The new Cherry Bomb seed looks like it's cracking open, and Girl Scout Cookies is still with us.
I didn't do a very good job getting the roots out of the perlite for GSC's pot.
Hope that doesn't come back to bite me in the ass, but it probably will.

Welp, I went to shift the perlite to see what her taproot was doing and her head popped off.
Starting a new seed now.
Poor you.

As my ole nan used to say “a cheeky choke hold is all fun and games till her head pops off”.
 
GSC is doing alright. She'll get half strength Mega Crop today.
Cherry Bomb has popped, and will go into her pot in a bit.

I'm going to try and keep up here, Mel. Congrats on the new babies. Girl Scout Cookies is one of my favourites but mine show it as a 60/40 indica-dominant strain.

Glad you're here HG!
The seed was a freebie from @Herbies Seeds , and I'm not sure who the breeder is.
I put "Herbies seeds Girl Scout Cookies" into a search engine and went with the info of the first one to come up, which I think was Original Sensible Seeds.
Your notes could very well be right.
 
:woohoo:
Cherry Bomb has joined us!
Her first true leaves are already there, and are purple. Since she's now above the perlite I gave her the first dose of 1/4 strength Mega Crop.
GSC is now on a 3/4 strength dose.

Awesome! MH now the show starts
 
So, I'm going just count them both as day 2 now. I know it's a couple of days off for GSC, but...well...to be honest I don't really care how many days old they are.
They're alive and growing, and that's enough for me.

Just wait till they hit the res!
 
Hey ho el Beardo!

Is algae damaging?
No, just ugly.
If the light could penetrate deeper into the perlite and grow on the roots I would guess it could smother the plant, but I've never seen anyone test it with a transparent medium.
It's grown faster in this reused perlite than it did the first time, and the fresh perlite in my other grow doesn't have any yet.
Now that I think of it, it's growing faster on the perlite I didn't sterilize. I think I'll do that going forward.
 
The only thing I miss about soil is the faster growth as newborn seedlings.
Maybe my memory isn't correct here, but it just seems like they grow slower until they hit the res in hempy.
GSC has been bumped up to a full dose of Mega Crop, and Cherry Bomb is at 50%.

I actually like it. It looks like grass.

I felt the exact same way about SIP! Slow slow slow HOLD ON!!!
