My setup

Maybe attempt the germination in two lots so that if the 1st try doesn't work then atleast you will
still have some more for another attempt.
It would be a shame to see those Gold leafs not sprout at all.

I’ll just do 4 at a time 4 pots equal 4 plants lol

If you don't want to buy a metric fuck ton of clay balls you can use bio noodles or bio balls for fish pond/aquarium filters from the pet store

If you have never germinated any plant seed before maybe give a packet of tomatoes a go first, much easier wasting 2 bucks.

Can’t be that hard

Whats the germ method Oz?

I hope no fucking around with paper towels and plates and shit?

 

[frankreynolds]

I mean it is one of the points new growers seem to fail at consistently, and tomatoes require very similar conditions to germinate as cannabis does. Only takes a couple of days in proper conditions for germination to happen as well.

Good stuff!

With the lighting will it be okay if I just turn the TS 3000 down to 25% brightness with the dimming switch for seedlings or should I go lower?

be careful if that heat matt has no thermostat control. it will cook them.

with what i know with LED's keep it high, they are a bit death rayish if too close in my experience. I use 2 60w LED strips in my veg room, which accomodates all until flowering pretty much. To be honest I cant say what percent they are at maybe 80% i just twiddle the knob but at 100% and 60cm+ they are not happy. I just done it too myself prior to putting them in larger pots.

I don’t think the heat mat has a thermostat control
should I just not use it to be safe?

A tea towel or 2 between will help keep it less direct, you can test your sensors for all your gadgets inside the propagation tray

 

[Billygoat]

nah, warmth is key (imo) to germination.

if not thermostat, set up how you plan and test temps before you kill seeds.

I’ll be using the blue lab guardian so if the pH moves I’ll be able to fix it pretty quickly I hope lol

No you won't.
Sorry get ready

 

[Red Eye Hero]

Yeah I will

I suppose I can put the pulse one inside the propagation tray To get all the temperatures and what not
And the 2 tea towels seem like the go
