You got me.
Busted, I am.
And you are correct.
@dbrn32 “Curious as to how you place these in media and how much of tail they have when you do? If you plant husk down/tail up they shouldn’t pop with helmets or leaning.”
Ever wanting to try different methods, I purposely “DARWIN-ed” them"., as in only the strong survive.
In my defense, Mother Nature gives no comfort and plays no favoritism or nepotism.
I placed the five seeds in water x2/1x H2O2 for 24 hours, then during second 24-hour period, placed 5 of 5 in moistened soil inside clear solo-cup inside red cup,
Soil was my mix(another experiment).
At that time, 4 of 5 were showing hull expansion towards splits, as in expanded white showing and clearly, no tails protruding, yet.
Not much control over placement direction after dirt covering and gentle finger acting.
Good for ILGM seeds and genetics, because that was the worst possible seedling germination launch I could have provided them.
I know better, but often, stubbornly, want to try different. Forum does teach better methods for germination launch than I utilized, for sure.
They have my full attention now.
Tonight I measured the 4x4 tent wattage draw. Fans were minimal.
HLG 350, 260, and UVA30 capable of drawing above 600 watts according to my Kil-a-watt meter device.
Tent occupied with “8” clones from summer (not all surviving or doing well).
Plus two re-vegers, and now the 5 Maui-W. Tent needs cull, and clean, soon.
Tent lighting hours and intensity, being increased daily (currently 13.5 ON/10.5 OFF).
Still below max light draw while heat issues present…
Clones with colas looking nice enough to grab and smoke, soon, get topped.
UT383BT LUX meter measured canopy area 50,60,70KLUX depending on clone top height.
HLG calculators for Diablo lighting above rated at 2.8/w
Time to call the night.
Good catch dbrn32!
