For my second grow, I have decided to germinate 4 seeds. 2 are a Widow/Skunk Hybrid and the other 2 are Q1 from australia which I am calling ECQ for East Coast Q
I started gemination on 20090920 using peat pellets soaked in warm distilled water (with a touch of Hydrogen peroxide added) and allowed excess to drain. I planted the seeds in the peat pellets and place them in a germinating humidiy dome. the first one to break surface was the plant I am calling WS#1 48 hours after planting and then the second one was at about 4 days and that is WS #2. After seven days, I am not sure if the ECQ will sprout or not. I will give them until mid week and if nothing, I will germ 2 more of the ECQ seeds that I have.

Here are the initial pics:

Wish me well fellow growers. I'm praying my first grow was not a fluke. :ciao:
 
And it begins again!! So good to see. The Q1 will take 5 to 7 days to open. If nothing by next week, then I would suggest trying again. Looking forward to this grow in so many ways.
 
Well, it took about 10 days, but the ECQs have just started to pop. I was beginning to get worried that they were bad, when I saw the sprouts

Here are ECQ #1 and ECQ #2 yesterday afternoon.

Now it is time to let them grow a little bit and then transplant them into the 10" pots I have waiting. stay tuned. ;)
 
Well, bad news is best if told right away. I had to go out of town on a business trip and was gone about 5 days, I asked my spouse to water the plants in my absense, which she says she did. However, I came back and the plants were all laying on there side. the peat pellets were completely dry. I watered them and monitored them for a few more days, but the did not come back. below are pictures of them after watering. I used some soil to prop up the stems, but nothing is growing.
