1st was germinated by placing in shot glass (distiller water) 24 hours and placed on water heater, sank to bottom with no tail or shell cracked yet and sowed directly into 3 gal FFOF soil watered several hours previous and saran wrap placed over top and placed under 42w natural daylight cfl.

2nd was germinated by placing directly into peat pellet and cheap humidity dome it came with.

Both sprout after 4 days

3rd, the most recent I placed directly between 2 folded up damp paper towels and placed in a ziplock bag and put on water heater...36 hours later the white tap root was visible and I sowed into 3 gal FFOF soiled pot...shell emerged above soil 3 days later and first set of leaves that night.

Day 3 (plant 3) NL Auto
Second set of leaf growth visible (pics tonight)

Day 42 (plants 1,2) NL auto
Pistil shown at day 21 and grew vigorously since. Seems the plant is focussing most of its energy on flowering as they appear to be less "bushy"

I mistakenly watered on the schedule with plant 1, maybe a day or 2 too soon. 3 gal pot, watered with tap water set out 24+ hours...1/4 strength Algoflash flowering nutes, 3/4 gallon of water with 15% run off give or take. Ph not tested. 76* 61% humidity.
Action taken: fan moved to center of back side in grow box, oscillating. Tlc and an apology.
Picture is an hour ago day 42

I awoke this morning to my girls looking even worse. After contemplation and much studying I decided the route to fix an over fed baby was to feed it a hamburger. Ironic? Sounds like it, but damn, it worked. I made sure the pots were light and dried up and I stepped up to 1/2 strength nutes and like magic, several hours later vigor was restored; as was my smile.

1st pic- this morning (over water)
2nd- an hour ago after treatment
