10/9/26 - Still doing well. Flushed system with clean water and then replaced all nutrients! Stretching looks like it done and buds are getting bigger. Turned to bloom a little too late for the size of my grow room so having to bend and tie off some to keep them away from the lights. All in all still very happy with them!

Using 4 CFL LIGHTS AND A 300watt LED light with red, blue and iltrvlt. 8 air stones driven by 2 pumps. 1 large with 6 stones and a small pump as back- up with 2. Not showing, but will be placing a black garbage bag over entire unit (except plants) to prevent algae.

8/4/26 Seeds germinated nicely! Moved from paper towel to pre-#1 DWC system. Bottom float that looks like a plus is to keep rockwool on next level, just above the water. Waiting for them to sprout now!🤞🏻

Paper Towel
Grower notes
8/1/26 - Put 2 seeds on a paper towel, wet the towel and seeds with distilled water at 6.0 Ph. Folded paper towel and put in an open ziplock bag. Placed this in a small, closed cardboard box and put that on a germination heating mat. Trying this Acapulco Gold as I used to love the smell, taste and high from a long time ago. Not the highest THC but figured I give it a try. I also wanted to try out Blimburn Seeds as this is the 1st time I’ve purchased from them. Hoping for good results!🤞🏻
