As encouraged by a recent post in one of my other journals, I am starting a new side journal here as an experiment to get plants sexed within a month plus change of birth. This notion hit at the perfect time, as all of the subjects from the 420 Challenge are ready for planting, plus I may as well start another 3 Birthday Cake Lites from Plant 1 as well, which are direct planted in Jiffy Pots of dirt.
So here is what I am working with tonight...
And I am starting with my first three direct plantings, those previously mentioned Birthday Cake Lites.
I figure I don't need to worry about lighting until they break the surface, since right now, they are in darkness completely, of course.
Next up, we address the sprouts that were the 420 Challenge subjects and are overdue for planting.
It turns out that three of them, Subjects 0, 1, and 2 (Second seed from 4/17 and both from 4/18, which will be designated now as 4/17:2, 4/18:1, and 4/18:2) were all too well developed to go in either size Jiffy Pot, so the first two got Not Pringles canisters, and the third got a cut down V8 jug planter. When they get put to bed for 12 hours, they will go under a tall cardboard box.
The two from the 19th, 4:19/1 and 4/19:2 are in a small styro cup and a Dollar Tree planter respectively.
They will get their dark in a drawer, as will the three Wildlings that sprouted after 4/20.
4/17:1 and 4/20:1 get the larger J-Pots. Guessing they are 8 ouncers, and 4/20:2 gets an 8.5 oz styro cup.
I have an hour and a half before these get put to bed. Their 12 hours darkness starts at 21:00, and that is when I am "starting the clock" on their 10 days at 12/12.
