My first attempt was an utter failure. Lost 8 seeds for dumb reasons. I fussed too much over the plants, but now I think I'm over the new mother phase. I over watered. I also fried the plants with heat. This time things are different. I switched my light configuration. I'm going to keep the plants in small cups for a few weeks before transplanting them. This time I have a The Doctor seed (feminized) and a Kandy Kush seed (regular).
Here's what the new set up looks like. The lights are turned on their sides instead of hanging straight down. 2x 105 watt 6500k CFLs with a home made aluminum foil reflector with holes in the top for ventilation. With two small fans blowing at each other at plant level.
The Doctor is in the far cup. It only took 24 hours for the seeds to germinate with the paper towel method. 100% success rate with that method as of now.
The Kandy Kush is in the near cup. The seedlings broke ground just a couple of days after being planted.
A close up of the lights.
I planted them on 7/25, so they're just over a week old. These pictures are a couple of days old, but there has only been a little growth of the second leaf set so far. I'm converting a PA speaker cabinet into a small grow box while these grow for a while. Going to take clones from The Doctor most likely and clone inside the box while these plants flower. Will then attempt to keep it fairly perpetual. Have 3x 105 watt 2700k bulbs for flowering, will switch with the lights hanging now and then put those lights in the box.
