Seed soak 4/2 , started 2-2181 Masters, 2-2212.5 Masters, and for the sake of genetics % heavy we chose the 1-2471 Noel as our pollinator (to be grown in 420sq/ft). 1-2181&2471 up in 22 hrs, the other 3 were up in 36 hrs ??. Weigh offs are 1day earlier and calendar said start soak 4/2 ???????

Using spider farmer GGS ( grow genius system) this year to monitor ppfd & VPD. 2181 & 2471 broke dirt early and are enjoying the slow ramp up! The other 3 took there time breaking dirt and came up in higher PPFD and VPD which they apparently didn't like so much but they are backups. Must add . had a small issue with germination on a couple, damp paper towel means DAMP, not WET! I misted the 3 that didn't pop in 24 hrs and I believe that slowed them down even more. Patience is hard to observe when you're anxious. Good luck to everyone with starts this year! P.S. special thanks to Travis for considering my 2181 Masters this year, I hope you smash it out of the park!
