I started these female seeds ,I believe December 10th 2022.

I use Dixie cups and poke holes all around the bottom so as to not have standing water during germination and early vegetation. I use custom-made soil and place my seeds in a rapid Rooter which I bury just under the top of the soil. Cups are placed in a vegging tent, these particular seeds all sprouted within 4 days of doing so.
I bought these seeds from seedsman and stored them in my refrigerator for 2 years before sprouting.

I place a generous amount of worm castings under each rapid Rooter. I also introduce microbes with the first watering and water slightly everyday until they have broken through.
I use exclusively a microbe tea concentration from soil balance. 1/10 th of a gram per gallon of water.
I use to use exclusively distilled water. After more consideration, I figure the microbes are missing out on the trace minerals in tap water. I allow 24 hours for the chlorine to flash out of my tap water before using it. For this particular grow I will only use the custom built soil and feed microbes on a weekly basis, doing this ensures I have an active healthy microbial colony.

Yes. I am happy with them. Out of the six plants, one of them is only half the size of the rest.

The recipe for my soil :As always the Compost and how it is made is most important. 50 percent of my soil is compost. 25 percent is high grade organic peet moss. 15 percent is organic rice hulls. Remaining ingredients : Bloood mill ,bone mill ,organic alfalfa mill, organic kelp mill, azomite rock dust, biochar, johnson su compost inoculant and mushroom compost inoculant.

Any ideas on making this better, please let me know.
