@Cap_Ron I have them in a germination tray with cover w/vents
Heat pad under, heater in tent.
Thank you for your advice.

I’m going along with the ride also.
Think I’ll take you advice and go ahead and chop mine today also.

25 mg if you smoke every day, it takes 3 - 10 mg for decent buss for me. A 50 mg I have a few of those left makes for a pretty good tune.

Store your seeds in dark packaging in refrigerator and they will last up 2 a couple years.

Update…
Getting there…
Have 1 Berner’s Cookies in veg stage, and 1 Maui Wowie Cherry Bomb Pheno, 1 GG#4 both very early… Just popping out seedlings.
The Berner’s I am stunting by leaving it the propagation tray covered…with the seedlings… But will be moving it out soon.
I am finding it very easy to regulate the temps and humidity in the covered and vented propagator. Saves on the extra heat and humidity I would have had to provide the entire tent.
Will post pics later as I plan on messing around with them later.

So… Patience and persistence wins.
Recap…
Seeds Started with:
1 Berner’s cookues
1 Maui Wowie Cherry Bomb Pheno
1 Northern Lights
1 Super Skunk
Have now:
1 Berner’s Cookies vegging
1 GG#4 early veg late seedling
1 Maui Wowie Cherry Bomb Pheno early veg late seedling
1 GG#4 seedling in propagator for a little bit yet.
1 GG#4 seedling about to break.
What I did to correct…
I started new seeds.
Soaked in H2O/H2O2 mix for 24 hours.
Then to damp paper towels in ziplocks inside paper plates… On a heat mat at 75f.
The Berner’s was obviously the first… I’ve been stunting her growth to try to allow myself and the others to catch up.
The GG#4 from Greenpoint Seeds have been germinating easily.
I’ve given up on the NL from ilgm I have more seeds… But.
I’ve ran out of Super Skunk seeds from ilgm.
I still do have Maui Wowie and the last of the NL seeds that I had soaked in wet napkins in dark place inside plastic baggies… I have been changing the napkin and alternating it from cooler temps to tent temps… That’s how I finally got the Maui Wowie going finally.
If the seeds seem bad or rotten at any point I’ll discard it… But why given up.
I got new rapid rooters and put them into Dixie cups inside the propagator with it’s environment set at 83f, 80rh one vent partially open.
Once I saw nice roots, I transplanted them into solo cups with Roots Organics Original and some Great White powder in transplant hole.
The Berner’s Cookies has been transplanted into a 1 gallon plastic pot with more Great White in hole before transfer.
They will eventually get to 7 gallon fabric pots.
Sorry for the lack of pics… I’ve been frustrated, embarrassed, irritated, and sad.
Also, my father has been undergoing cancer treatment. It’s been difficult. He just turned 80, we live far away from him, and my sisters don’t get along with each other nor me. I get along with just about everyone. I have been left out of the loop and found that one literally decided to just leave me out, whereas the other with whom I haven’t spoken with in about 20 years (due to the other), has kind of been nice and assumed we couldn’t help out. I feel robbed of the opportunity to help my father, he is unaware… No way I’m informing him… I don’t have the heart… Plus my sisters “can’t do any wrong”.
My wife… Has been awesome as usual.
It gets worse, but I’ve already shared more than I normally would.
My advice… Be good to each other, don’t make assumptions, don’t manipulate the truth, be honest, accept consequences, respect others in every way, call out bullshit when you see it. Remember… You only hurt yourself and the one’s you love by yelling and screaming, and not respecting opinions. Listen when your family says enough already. Embrace those that show kindness and love. Stay away from all hate.
Sorry for that.
Here’s a picture… More to follow.

Thank you… @Dj351 I appreciate it…truly.
Sorry to hear about your family… A death ripped my family apart in 2013…when he’s gone… I am certain it’ll be destroyed.
We are already planning on moving to avoid the drama, hopefully in a warmer climate more open to growing.

Bad news… My father passed yesterday morning.
On a lighter note…
Growing and coding my app has helped keep my mind off of it.
So here’s an update…I truly meant for this Journal to be more…
I’ll do my best to do better.
I just up-potted to my final 7 gallon fabric pots.
Using Roots Organics Original and Great White powder sprinkled into transplant hole. Then watered in well.
Need to adjust light height and DLI.
Using a hlg 300L Bspec. No uva.
Checking preliminary DLI above each plant to see where I am now:
Had to put a dog dish under on pot as my Maui Wowie is very short yet.
Next is fun for me… I get to use my alpha build of my grow app.
I entered all par readings into app for it to average them then calculates the DLI.
I check out the DLI chart in my app with all data set at default settings… All data is customizable to create unique personal charts.
I should be at about 40 DLI… What the heck is that?..
So I input the dli needed and hours of light into my apps converter.
Once I have two or more data points… Because two points are needed to make a line… I’ll be able to plot my current grows DLI with a line over the bars in the graph… To see my dli vs desired week to week.
I veg for 8 weeks hence the 18 weeks.
The plot page is an old screenshot as I had a small bug and haven’t updated my alpha build yet.
My VPD 1.12 kPa for veg phase.
Humidity is at 65%rh and temps at 83f. Leaf temp of 82F.
Currently working on my VPD heatmap chart and portion of app to complete it… So I’ve been using an internet chart temporarily.
Here’s an old screenshot of an old alpha build

For people needing to understand phenotypes better… The back two plants are both GG#4 germinated and planted at the same time. They are very different.
The short left in front is the Maui Wowie Cherry Bomb Pheno from Sebring Seeds… And last front right Berner’s Cookies…is way ahead and only seed I didn’t have issues germinating this year.

Seeing you use the app and explaining it… 
Love it!
I’m sorry for your loss, I can’t even image how it feels when someone looses someone so close to them because I haven’t felt that heartbreak as an adult. Our fathers are someone special, regardless of how complicated the relationship can be for some it still is a loss.
I feel for you, and I fear the day I loose my best friend (my dad).
On a lighter note I have a trick for you if your using a temp sensor for like an AC infinity controller, put a light shield on it and hang it from the canopy. Direct lighting skews the data a bit, people seem to be using a piece of a foam cup or something similar.
I have another tip/piece of data that we could add as an option down the road but I won’t complicate things anymore for now it’s really cool what you have created here.

@Nicky I appreciate it… It has been hard.
I will use the tip on the sensor… Makes sense… Didn’t consider it.
I am currently working on the VPD again… I am stuck on a bug on dli plot once again…but will be through it shortly… I have had a killer headache for the last few days… So I’ve taken a break from screen time… At least for coding.
Please… I would appreciate your idea… No need to hold off… It’s easier to plan… Even adding a “space holder” page for future… Isn’t hard… Plus I can add comments to remember the idea when I can get to it.
So… Please don’t hesitate to share.
