It’s been better then 30 days to get this far and a whirl wind of failures to get it to here. And at times I’ve just wanted to scream WTF is going on here. I purchased a Mars Hydro 2’x4’x70” tent with the SP3000 LED light.
I ordered 5 Gorilla Glue #4 seeds from a respectable online Canadian breeder. Mind you I have not set foot in a hydroponic grow store for 4 years. I haven’t popped seeds for probably 7 or 8 years.
The seeds shipped from a seed bank in California in a matter of just a few days. They arrived in Portland Oregon in about 24 hours and the set at an odd Post office another 3 days then tracking said delivering to destination. I live in a Portland suburb. 48 hours later the seeds show back at the Post Office in Los Angles. Set there another day then start the trip back to Oregon. 1st WTF! I get the seeds put two into a 24 hour soak then the paper towel method. 7 days nothing just a little cracking of the shell on one and at tiny brownish root protruding. Puzzling but I decide to put them under soil. 5 more days nothing so I soak 3 more seeds. 1 more cracks after a few days in the paper towel but looks a bad as the other one that has never come up. I plant that one now have 3 pots going out of 5 seeds and one plant that is coming up all wonky and a bit deformed.
I contact the seed bank tell them what’s going on they said it’s some bad beans and send me 5 more. I’m a little leery here and really don’t want the same breeder but they say they don’t exactly know which one they come from.
I soak 2 new seeds they both crack pretty fast in 2 days with nice long tap roots. I put those two into pots and the next day I have 3 starts in 2 pots. One of the early seeds I planted came up 10 days after its sibling and the same time as the 2 new ones. I now pull the oldest one out of the pot and put it in a solo cup till I get another large pot ready for it in a couple days. So I’ve been at the actual start of this for 14 wrenching days now.
