So almost 1 month to the day I will say day1 ~!
Today they all got moved to the room and up potted to 1g plastic pots.
So they all stayed small like I wanted but I believe the AC in the house messed with them and the VPD.
No control when you need to cool the whole house?
I am surprised that some had been killing off their first and second [ 1 leaf and 3 leaf] branches but they were very close to the light and in soil that had nothing.
With that said they look less well than I expected, but nothing to be real concerned about.
I will operate this grow like all my others with NO STRESS.
That is for me, not the plants~! They have already been water and environment deprived or upset for sure. No big deal as these plants love stress done properly. The VPD and heat from the lights was not proper but not all bad IMO.
I mixed even parts of the Coast of Maine Stonington, Pro Mix, Sohum and perlite in a 10g rubbermaid can.
Simply 1g each mix up and fill 4 pots at 1g. No real science just even mix.
Then I watered the mix in the 1g pots and made the hole for the solo girls.
I sprinkled micorrhizae in the hole and on the roots as I up potted.
Then I watered again.
Could not find Great White local so got this.
Here they are. Got 17 up and 5 seeds that have still not popped from latest go around? Could be related to how cool and dry is was inside.
Most of the solo cups were very dry on top and still had great roots at the bottom so?
I pulled most of the damaged leaves off some but left others.
This is what some of them looked like.
Not the end of the world IMO. especially on day1~!
You seen no stress means no hurry or deadline. I will grow them till I decide they are ready, hopefully we communicate better moving forward.
So where's the room?
Right there~!
Here is how she runs;
^^AC controller ^^
^^AC^^
Up until now the solos were 24/7 light.
Now 18/6.
My water measures 320TDS and I had a little run off after watering.
It tested 2290TDS so that will be the baseline for all stupid questions about EC and TDS in soil.
I will probably check run off as I go and see what happens, but clearly how most use EC/ TDS is out the window.
I will measure ferts by volume or weight.
Until next week I hope you all had a great weekend.
Supposed to get up to 4 inches of rain in the next 24 hours but it hasn't started yet.
Let the games begin.
