24 hour soak in the shot glass and I have three sunken seeds.

Next I soaked some EazyPlugs in 5.8pH water and then let them warm up on the heat mat before popping the three seeds inside at a depth of about 5mm and lightly covering the tops via pinching.

Then into the veg tent in a closed propagation dome on top of a heat mat.

The veg tent itself is a 1.2x1.2m LiteHouse Lite tent. I have a 120W Quantum Board set at 100W at about 120cm high. From past grows I have found this to be a sweet spot for seedlings/clones but I must still play around considering this is the first time I'm using this tent. I am looking to optimise the light spread as much as possible without necessarily upgrading the LED as well but I am confident it's got enough oomph for a 1.2x1.2 veg tent. The mylar seems way better than my old generic tent but I can't objectively say. 

Other than that I also have a 4' exhaust fan just to pull stale air out of the tent at low speed as well as a DIY panel heater with a Sonoff switch to automatically regulate the temperature within the veg tent. At this time I like keeping the temp at a cozy 24C.

Next we wait for the seedlings to present themselves πŸ‘¨β€πŸŒΎ

What are the easy plugs made of? Is it a kinda of foam, sort of like Oasis? I know they do make an inert foam type media.

Website states "100% organic materials", but I like them because they keep the perfect level of moisture I find without me having to stress if I'm drowning or frying my seeds.

I however have actually just used my last pack of EazyPlugs and will probably move onto Jiffies in future; there's too much packaging for the EazyPlugs and I seldom find the big refill bags.

Got myself a keen bean, still waiting on the other two to break the surface, but this one is already looking power. 

Light cycle at the moment in the veg tent is 18-6, starting from 6pm to 12pm the next day. Temp is steady at 24C. I have only needed to moisten the cubes once and this was done with room temperature 5.8 pH water.

Got two no-shows still. It is going to get to a point where, considering I only need one plant, I am just gonna go with this girl going forward with the comp. Easy choice I guess! πŸ˜

For as long as this seedling remains in the propagator I will give the other seeds a chance. When it comes time to repot this seedling and the other seeds haven't popped, we know what time it is. 

I've had late poppers in the past end up being better than seedlings I thought were going to be the one. Let us see.
