Woke up this morning to germination 3 of 3 with the Northern lights still in a paper towel germinating. So far batting 100 on the soil germination seeds!

What humidity and temps do you guys like for planted beans and seedlings?
The ideal temperature is between 22° and 25°C (71–77°F)

Time then to whip out our packages of seeds and get to work. But how do you best set to work, to get these tiny, fragile seeds to grow without problems into small plants?

Gorilla Glue took off like a bat our of hell. Girl Scout Cookies #1 & 2 have been a lot slower that the GG. Turned the lights up just a hair to 35% @ 18"
I started on the Northern Lights germination 3 days later so I am about 3 days behind on it. Should be popping from the soil soon enough...

All 4 are just trudging along at a normal pace, Girl Scout Cookies is catching up slowly as well as the Norther Lights which had a 3 day late start. I am starting to prime the soil around the pod with 6.5 ph water. My living soil was fed with molasses a little over a month ago to cook and be ready for these beans.

Unfortunately it might become a whole wash as I am thinking my soil is still too hot for the seedlings as they grow into the soil from the organic pod? Gorilla Glue appears to be taking a much turn for the worse due to it's roots hitting the soil
Oof. Sorry to hear that. You're running LOS correct?

Yes sir. I primed it over a month ago when i made my mix, fed it molasses and stored in a cold dark place in their resting 3 gallon fabric containers?
I honestly wouldn't know what to offer as advice since I don't grow in LOS, which is why I asked before I started talking out my ass. It sounds like you know what the problem was, now it's finding the solution so it doesn't happen again.

I did an emergency solo cup revival on the Northern lights & GG, so transferred them immediately hopefully I can save them? If not, off to the germ races again!

Biggest mistake ever, soil PPM was over 8000 in each pot! Washed and started all over again and saved all 4 seedlings. Whether they will survive is anyone's guess but they look better than they did when i transplanted them and auto's hate transplanting
Soil is now at 200 PPM at 6.3 PH

Ya that there is some hot soil! Lesson learned though in that it should be checked prior to use. No harm done when you take something away from it.

Definitely a rookie mistake, soon as a saw trauma i remembered that I did not check runoff from soil which everyone should do! Lesson learned...

I usually don't get too personal with pages like these but wanted to chat a little more about the reasoning I have behind starting to grow again after almost 35 years. I am a Veteran of the United States Navy and Desert Storm Veteran. After decades of suffering PTSD back and joint pain myself and seeing many others cycle through the VA. My circumstances at the time made perfect sense that now is the time to start growing your own stash instead of paying 500 per week on medicine. I cant ever say life has been fair for sure I have had my share of ups and down in life and always try to make the best of things. When this year started me and my wife were presented with the loss of our youngest Son who was 19 years old and leaving for boot camp in 2 months from the date he died on January 3rd 2020. My son wanted to follow in my footsteps and serve our Nation, he unfortunately never made it. For almost 3 months I met with the VA not because they were concerned about my well being but because the cost for them to keep my well being was somehow irritating someone within the confines of the VA. I have smoked more weed I think in my life the last 7 months I honestly don't know if I can make it without my medicine. You all have been so kind and so informational about every single thing I have needed help with and I do not take that lightly. I just wanted you fellas & ladies to know that I appreciate it and this grow just means so much to me and my wife. We both are grateful for today and pray for a better tomorrow! I am praying my son can help me through all of this and in time the healing can start.
So thank you, each of you for reaching out and helping me along the way, I am all over the place and I can find a little peace and instruction here. Please forgive me as most days I am not in my right mind when I post things just might not make sense!

I'm sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to both of you. It sounds like it's been a rough ride for your family with the VA issues too. Growing not only is better for you but it helps in healing when you are doing things you enjoy. I wish you and the family well in these troubling times.
