WOW Good to see the seeds open up in 24 hrs , nice tutor you may want to add the reason for leaving the stem/stalk 1/2-1" long above the first cut . I didnt know and was told a few years a go and have had the stem split before = healing takes time (wasted) That five killer cookies was a bomb of a plant !!

Here's a quickie update on the successful Candida germination test.
Last night I had a curl of green coming through the soil, and I took this picture:
Lots of winged bugs that look like thrips on the soil. This morning the seedling was up:
WTF is up with all those bugs eating my hours-old sprout?
This soil was from a bag of FFOF (that sits covered along the side of the house) that was left over from the winter grow. Crazy! I'll dump a bunch of DE in the bag and close it up again to see if that helps in there.
The other split seed is making its way to the surface:
And then I sprayed them down with neem oil. This will be a great test to see if neem oil is safe for brand new seedlings. These plants may not live long, but they'll have served a useful purpose in their short lives.
Quotes:
One of those will be in line for next summer's grow!
For those who aren't aware, whenever possible it's best to leave a longer stem when you top a plant, as that bit (called the "double H stump" from @Heavenly Hybrid's post → here), can prevent the trunk from splitting downward as the plant gets bigger.

Thanks Stunger! I do thin pretty heavily when I have to, but so far I've had good luck with them bushing right back up again. And I don't think I'll ever have another plant close to the 5KC, especially not that kind of weight. Thanks goes out to Carmen for the SWICK idea!
IKR? SWICK/Hempy, for all the trouble I had with it, came through in the end. Enough to do it again? Not sure on that!
One of those will be in line for next summer's grow!Thanks sb! And I definitely should have mentioned the stem length when I topped it.

Oh, I also wanted to give a huge shout-out to the good folks at @Airvape! You may recall my wife raving about the Legacy Pro flower vape that I won for 2023 MOTY, so you can imagine her dismay when it stopped working and showed a "Sensor Error" on the display and wouldn't heat.
I sent a PM to Airvape and they replied within 24 hours saying that I should email their customer support team for a replacement. They processed that really quickly and sent me a brand new one for only a $9.99 shipping charge.
That's some excellent customer service there for a product I didn't even buy to begin with.
A big to Airvape for their great product, product support, and site sponsorship!

Here is the Candida germination test this morning after I put a layer of DE on top of the soil. I know it doesn't work when it's wet but it is a physical barrier, and if it dries in the sun clouds today it will also become effective to shred the pests:
On the plus side, no major damage from the neem spray. The cots on the left one don't look happy but they were also being eaten as they emerged, so it's hard to tell what caused the yellowing. Still, I'll let them grow for a while to see how they do.

That one reminds me of @Arctic Bowl's
Malawi but his was smaller.
Looks like a budrot magnet! I'd never try that if I didn't live in the desert.

Definitely keeping the end user happy, that's for sure!
Great pics, thanks Graytail! What was it, and is there any trimming involved at all or just bucking them from the stems when they're dried?

Malawi but his was smaller.Loved that Neville, and it loved you once you warmed the place up for it!
Noice! Since I have four true sativas arriving later this year from @Table Mountain Sativa Co, I hope I can get similar results.

and grabbed 'em. It's a Thai leaning Destroyer pheno.There were probably a bunch of trichs all down the little stems, so I'd probably smoke all of it.
(But there might be something wrong with me - caveat emptor - etc)
