Olderfart's Living Soil trials and tribulations

The smallest of the two new CBD seedlings was pulled, leaving one in the pot to replace the runt that was binned. The remaining seedling stalled more or less completely, and now at almost two weeks is still tiny with only a couple sets of leaves. It is going nowhere in spite of what appeared to be a decent start. These were direct planted, and the reservoir was already turned on for the other two plants.

I soaked 4 more seeds after ~45 seconds abrasion and ~3hour soak in ~1.5% H2O2. One was rooted with ~10mm tap this morning after ~36 hours in towel holder with sterilized cotton rag rather than towel. The second one was rooted shorter this evening after ~48 hours in the holder. Two remaining are not rooted yet, one has done nothing, the other may be just cracked, but not obvious yet. The last 4 were more or less a germination test to see if something I did the last time might have caused the problems. I started 4 more earlier, and every one of them died, two after rooting and placement in peat plugs, two never did produce roots. These CBD seeds are driving me nuts.

I plan to see if I can come up with a healthy advanced seedling in a transplant pot from the current 4, and if I do, I will bin the stunted seedling and transplant into its place. If not, the pot will stay at two plants, one doing well, the other a mess that will nonetheless make a bit of CBD bud. The next CBD grow is going to have to start with lots of seeds...
