Germination = 2023-10-19T04:00:00Z→2023-10-22T04:00:00Z
**NOTE - I’m kinda new to this forum thing and didn’t realize you couldn’t edit a previous post. So for what it’s worth, the tail end of prep week is also my germination process 
I manually created a seedling tent on my previous grow, and now keep using it for seeds and clone development. For the seedling tent I have it configured with the following:
- Took two large home depot boxes and joined them together using tape
- Wrapped all of inside with mylar wallpaper to add reflective material
- Carved out 3 boxes to insert PC fans for air flow
- Installed the Monios-L LED lights (two 4ft lamps) across the top of the enclosure. Placed about 18" above soil pots
- Placed tarp in front of open space on boxes to help maintain humidity. Small aquarium humidifier being used when needed to keep humidity over 70%
The goal here is to germinate the seeds in rapid rooters. Once a root is shown on the bottom of the RR tray, the seeds (along with the RR they are contained in) will be transplanted into the soil pots
I also cut three 1L soda bottles to help further retain humidity for the sprouts once they pop up from the soil. Would like to ideally have it close to 75-80% for the first couple weeks, then gradually decrease humidity through veg period
Additional notes outlined below:
- Setup grow tent for germination / seedling growth. Temp reading at 84 F and PPFD at 18 inches above soil surface is around 250-260 range
- Water used tested at 7.0 pH. Treated with pH Up until desired pH was met at 7.7 pH (Target is 6.2 pH)
- Took three rapid rooters and dunked in bowl containing water w/H₂O₂ (Also after adjusting pH to 7.7)
- Soaked thoroughly until air bubbles no longer appeared, then gently squeezed and placed in rooter grow tray
- Added seeds into rapid rooters for germination
- Placed hydrometer into tray for monitoring
- Sprayed water on top of enclosure and placed soil tray in tent
- Leaving lights on for 24 hours until sprouts emerge from rooter soil
