Shout out to Angel's Care Collective for the pack of 12 seeds I picked up today, I thank you.
Now to begin, after reading Mother Chucker's recommendation on the bag I simply left the seeds in their air-tight container and put them in a paper bag that was then placed in a lower refrigerator drawer.
They will be left in the fridge for 2 weeks, but then...
I will place them in a jar of water (PH ~6.0) for 12 hours. Next the pre-soaked seeds will be placed into Rockwool cubes.
My Rockwool cubes will have also been soaked in water (PH ~5.5) for 30 minutes prior to placing the seeds in them.
The cubes will have a seed warming pad beneath them and will be placed in a large plastic storage container (1.5'x2.5'x1.5').
I will check on them daily in the evenings to mist the cubes- only if needed though.
I got the concept for this way of germinating from Irving Berger's blog post seen here.
Once the roots are visible through the cube(s) I will transplant the individual cubes into plantable pots (held by a custom-cut Dixie cup) which will already be filled with medium (pre-soaked to be moist). The medium will be a mixture of coco coir (40%), perlite (40%), & vermiculite (20%).
The plan is to keep the warming pad beneath the cups and place them beneath a 30W (6500K) T12 fluorescent light suspended only 1" above the cups. This light will only be used to entice sprouting and then will be replaced by a 250K HPS/MH combination.
That's all for now, next time I will have an update with pictures of my grow setup and where the seeds are along their journey to becoming seedlings.
