Preparations are well underway for cracking seeds April 7. Today I blended Geoflora Veg and Mycorrhizae into my soil and watered it in (see my Citrus Sap journal for mix details- I'm reusing it for one last grow before trying FFOF next time). Yesterday cleaned the seedling pots, then vacuumed and scrubbed the neoprene floor liner. Moved the San Pedro to my pvc/mylar tent and said goodbye to the Cerius Repandus to make room for seedlings.
Lighting in my tiny 22"d x 34"w x 72" space blanket lined closet will be from (2) Bestva Pro2000W LED panels running 18 hour days in veg and 12 when they flip. These are intended for much more space but in my little closet the 2 fixtures cover the whole canopy and they can run at dimmer setting 3 in veg and 5 in flowering. They barely get warm at setting 5.
I'm going to try Geoflora Veg and Geoflora Bloom for nutes with Terpinator throughout the grow and might add Massive in flower. I got kind of tired of the vast assortment of additives and boosters I was using with Advanced Nutrients- it just kept getting more and more complex to the point of no return. I will probably use some Bud Candy to feed the microbes because I have a quart of the stuff in the cabinet. This time I'm taking a simpler road to see if I can get as good of results.
I'll be setting the seeds April 7 because, according to the 2022 Farmers Almanac, the moon is favorably positioned for planting above ground crops (including flowers) on the 7th and 8th. Does planting by the moon work? Who knows, but I figure I need the best odds of success I can muster- these grows are a lot of work! Anyway, I only have 3 seeds of each variety so I'm going to use my version of the paper towel technique with Hydrogen Peroxide to prevent pathogens.
The seed strains:

Can't wait to see some fast growing green. I've been watching time warped cactuses take 5 months to reach 1".

I hope the mystery egg hatches. Good to see the others at least as keen as you!
