Saturday May 13th. Soaked rockwool cubes in Clonex seedling and clone nute mixture. 1.0ec 5.5ph. Put beans directly in the cubes about 1/4" deep. Covered holes with a piece of rockwool I ripped off the side of cube. Put propagator tray on the heat mat and covered with dome. Set the Kind LED X420 to 220 par and 24hrs of light. Today May 16th both beans have popped, right at 72hrs after being put into the rockwool cubes. These will be grown in my dwc system.

I soaked all 3 strains in rainwater, pinch of tm-7, 5-6 drops of h202 for 2-3 days and planted them ALL with long tails, 2 days later i have day 1 babies.

Tails, i forgot to take a picture of rainbow glue's tails lol i remembered to take pics after i planted them.

After planting all the seeds in promix i dumped in 5-7 gallons of rainwater mixed with megacrop to get 350ppm and then ph'd to 6.0, they sucked it all up and then i sprayed the topsoil for good measure.

I will be bottom feeding these plants in a 4x4 kiddie pool filled with hydroton clay balls, i dump in 5-10 gallons at a time when i feed, seems to work better than having a autovalve in there keeping everything in a puddle then the algae sets in and everything looks gross. i get just as good of results with me bottom feeding if not better than autopot's autovalve in this situation at least, in normal autopot trays its hard to beat.
And now we have life :vibe:

The back 2 pots are just filler pots to fill my tent up, i dumped 6 or so seeds (none have sprouted yet) in each 10 gallon pot, i'll do my best to not show those plants in this G&S but once the tent is packed i hope you all understand i tried to hide them until i couldn't lol i'll be removing the 3 gallon pot once it sprouts so ignore that 1 also ^_^

Proof of life! :mrgreen:
Day 1

Inserted the 1.5 Grodan starter cubes into 4x4x4” Grodan rockwool blocks immediately after sprouting. Not exactly sure what method I’m going to use to grow these or even what substrate I’ll be growing in but the 4x4” cube will buy me some time to figure it all out. The 4x4” blocks are great to start clones or seedlings in… they give me an extra week before I need to get my final containers or rockwool ready, take very little space, absolutely no risk of transplant shock, and by placing the cube directly on top of my medium gives me more area for root growth.
Got them temporarily in a 2x2” tent with a 100 watt Maxisun hanging about a foot away and dimmed down to the lowest setting. Turkey baster fertigating for the first week and started to feed the babies 350 ppm of General Hydroponics Flora Nova Grow, GH Rapid Start, GH Floralicious, Clonex solution and Mykos with the PH set at 6.0. Going with a whole General Hydroponics lineup with this round and plan on running GH Flora Nova Grow/Bloom for my main NPK, GH Calimagic, Floralicious, Armour SI, Rapid Start, Koolbloom liquid, Koolbloom powder, Flora Nectar and some GH Ripen to finish them off.
