H3y Paul, I gave both cubes a good soaking in butane.

They should explode with growth now.

Especially if you put a match to em while its still wet, it warms the roots.

I like to use boiling battery acid to get my starts going to provide the heat.

They bubble up and kick it!

Remember to clip them as close to the soil surface as possible, even the ones not quite up. They tend to be just like a beard and will come back even bushier and stronger.[emoji106]

So here they are, in all their presumably-pheno-challenged glory.

More seeds have been attempting to germinate for almost a week, i think.

[edit: If anyone wants to chime in and confirm that these are the wrong pheno, I'd appreciate it. Hard to trust my own judgment on this.]

6 days to hooks, you may shudder with fear at will.....The Beast has awakened!

PaulG · Mar 5, 2019

Don't forget to feed them well. I like straight
fish fertilizer mixed half-and-half with Hydrogen
Peroxide. About 2 ounces per hook. Works quicker
than the diesel stuff. Misting the cotys with vinegar
works well, too.

Good luck going forward, Eric!

Update: plants doing well, aphids are starting but ladybug & larvae seen so no worries
Little guy is picking up, maybe itll blow past his older sibling

Fish fertilizer? I didn't know fish had to be fertilized... :think:

Wow. You might as well say "I didn't know black people needed food." So racist...

How do you like your eggs? Fried or fertilized?

They can be fried if they ARE fertilized(by the rooster)!

PaulG · Mar 5, 2019

OMG so funny :rofl:

Little Mac looks great.
What a difference!

Walchit · Mar 5, 2019

I was talking about human eggs. Lol

God, you just never do, you... you CIS-PHENO MAMMAL! :rolleyes:

I'm thinking of starting an unofficial off-pheno growdown thread. I'd lose that, too, but it seems like a lot of people might at least have the plants for it.
