Germination steps began with seeds dropped into reverse osmosis (RO) water for 6 hours, then into paper towel, into a plastic bag, sealed & covered from light, on heat mat.
The first seed of Amnesia CBD was dropped on April 30, the next day I dropped the 2nd Amnesia CBD and also the Amnesia XXL.

Tap roots appeared within a couple of days, whereupon they went into little starter cubes. The cotyledon leaves appeared on May 5th, so I'm calling that their DAY 1 birthday:

At this point I transplanted the starter cubes over into some 3" peat pots. Normally I would have transplanted right into their final pot, but I was holding off on prepping the final pots in the hopes that @HarvestGoldSilica would have sent out their silica sample that I'm signed-up to test. So the seedlings spent the next 9 days in these peat pots:

Day 2:

Day 7

During this time the plants received only RO water and twice daily misting; once with Boom-Boom spray, once with Optic Foliar spray, and other times with plain RO water spray.

By their 10th day I could wait no longer to get them in their final home --- their roots were starting to bust out of the 3" peat pots. So I went ahead and finished prepping the 3-gallon airpots using Biotab's Silicium Flash as the final amendment to the medium. Just before transplanting, each airpot received 1/2 liter of RO mixed with ReCharge and CalMg.

Here they are the next day, at age 11, and then 3 days later at age 14:

They've been living off the soil mix and initial ReCharge drink now for several days, with alternating mistings of Optic Foliar, Boom-Boom and plain RO. Soon they'll get their first proper feeding of MegaCrop.
